Today is my husband's birthday! Instead of writing a long post detailing my deep love and admiration for him (which I totally could do), I am bringing you a post about an organizing project I did for him. 🙂 Paul isn't a messy slob of a man. He's actually much neater and minimalistic than I… Continue reading Organizing in the MAN CAVE

My Small Budget, Oven-Free Menu Plan!
I am really trying to spend as little as possible on groceries right now. You can't control things like taxes, mortgage bills or unexpected expenses, but you can control how much you spend in the grocery store. I chose to pick up a lot of fresh produce to round out all our meals - it's… Continue reading My Small Budget, Oven-Free Menu Plan!

Happy Monday! Here's my menu plan using the electric skillet, stove top and crock pot. I'm keeping the oven off as much as possible during the summer.

How to Organize Card Games
I had a pile of card games just hanging out on a shelf in the front closet. My organizing mantra is "a place for everything," so those cards needed some attention! We don't access them very often, but I wanted a system that would look tidy and cost nothing. Here's my solution! I had a stash of… Continue reading How to Organize Card Games

30 Minutes to an Organized Pantry
Last week I decided to tackle the mess inhabiting the bottom half of my pantry. It was so bad that I would open the cabinet, pull out what I wanted, and quickly close the door before anything fell out. Yikes! Don't believe me? Keep scrolling. Pretty awful, isn't it? Surprisingly, it took me less than… Continue reading 30 Minutes to an Organized Pantry
Organizing Makeup for Travel
For years I've stored my makeup in some kind of open container (basket, bin, etc.). It makes for easy access during day-to-day use, but it doesn't work well for travel. I've been on the hunt for an organized travel solution for my makeup....and I think I've finally found it! I found this travel case at… Continue reading Organizing Makeup for Travel
My Mini Kitchen Office
There's a never ending battle that we all fight. It's the battle between your clean kitchen counters and the stream of mail and paperwork that enters your house. I can't stand having random pieces of paper all over the kitchen counters, so I created a mail sorting system that blossomed into a mini kitchen office. It… Continue reading My Mini Kitchen Office
How to Pack For Vacation (and not forget anything!)
We've all been there. You're halfway to the beach, and suddenly panic grips your heart. Did I pack my bathing suit?!! There's nothing like spending your vacation wearing an ill-fitting $19.98 bathing suit from Walmart when your perfect makes-me-look-skinnier-than-I-am bathing suit is back at home. I've certainly been known to forget things when travelling. Growing up,… Continue reading How to Pack For Vacation (and not forget anything!)
How to Organize Old Photos
Do you have a box full of old photo albums sitting around somewhere? While I like to be organized, I'm not a minimalist. I have cards, notes and pictures from early in my childhood that I could never bear to part with. I love my pictures, but I don't have room to store 15 photo… Continue reading How to Organize Old Photos
