When my kids were younger, I was forever stepping on Legos or finding doll shoes tucked here and there. Then, before I knew it, no more playing with toys. Kids moved on and didn't play with any of their toys again. While I was ready to get our home organized and toys put away, none… Continue reading Home Organization Project 23

Remember when we had a family of squirrels living in the ceiling of our front porch? Well, we managed to move them out but today the home organization project we dealt with were rats - in our garage.

Is it just me or does it seem like we just cleaned out all of the cabinets and drawers in the bathroom when we re-did it?

When she laughed so hard that she spit her tea out, I knew we were having fun. That was the measure I used when my 15-year-old daughter helped me clean out my closet for this week's home organization project. Correction.

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. I love having picture frames around filled with family photos but they are dust magnets and collect - you guessed it - a lot of dust. My kids… Continue reading Home Organization Project 16

Is it romantic, or crazy, that my husband and I like to go to estate sales on Friday afternoons? I'm going with crazy because while it is an inexpensive 'date' - relatively speaking - we're trying to have less stuff rather than more! We're in the midst of a year-long home organization/de-cluttering project and buying… Continue reading Home Organization Project 15
