One of my favorite organizing bloggers recently purged and organized her book and magazine collection. Her rule for purging books was simple - if she didn't plan to read that book again, it went in the "donate" pile! I purged my book collection about a year ago, but I'm sure it could use another one… Continue reading My Secret Organizing Tool

The 5 Minute Transformation Project
One of my household mantras is "an organized life requires maintenance." I've found that taking a few minutes here and there to straighten a previously organized space goes a long way to keeping things organized.

Organizing Toiletries in a Small Closet
Since we have minimal storage options in both bathrooms (master, hall), I keep most of our extra toiletries, first aid and medicine in the hall closet. I shared my original organization project for that closet over a year ago but I've made several adjustments since then.

Paul's not incompetent when it comes to dressing himself - but he is color deficient. That proves to be a little challenging when many of… Continue reading How To Organize Ties
Organizing The Junk Drawer
The junk drawer is always a work in progress. I firmly believe that any organization project requires maintenance, and that's definitely the case with the junk drawer. Last week my Timehop app reminded me that it had been a year since I'd organized that space. Well, I actually didn't need Timehop to remind me...every time… Continue reading Organizing The Junk Drawer
