This was an easy home organization weekly project clean out for me. It's jewelry week and I needed an easy week. After the last few weeks, all this de-cluttering and reducing has worn me out!

On our way to drop off including plastic recycling. It's impossible to make this photo look cute!

I'm trying to get rid of things that require dusting. This week's home organization project was all about reducing the amount of dusting and nagging I do.

By having the same stuff in different locations, I end up buying more than one, of whatever it is. Or perhaps, several, because I've forgotten. That's definitely… Continue reading Home Organization Project 14
Easy Easter Basket DIY
This post is sponsored by Dove© Chocolates. Do you ever feel like you're always buying a new package of plastic eggs every time Easter rolls around? Me, too! It's the same with those pesky bags of stringy grass. It always ends up getting strewn around the living room. I really needed an update to this… Continue reading Easy Easter Basket DIY
