A few weeks ago I talked about my desire to be "that woman" who has a house that's always ready for company. If you read that post, you'll remember that my motivation for this is the desire to treat my family as well (even better) than I'd treat an honored guest. Working a full time job… Continue reading My Strategy for Keeping the House “Ready For Company”

Free Printable Planners for 2014
The New Year pretty much requires a new calendar...since you definitely can't use last year's...ahem. I have two calendars I'm planning to use this year. One is my beloved Chick-Fil-A cow calendar with the accompanying freebies - part of my husband's Christmas gift to me. He speaks my love language well! 🙂 The other is… Continue reading Free Printable Planners for 2014
My Christmas Menu
Is there anything that's better about Christmas than the food? I come from a family of foodies, not the least of which is my Mom who as of yesterday had baked 29 DOZEN CHRISTMAS COOKIES. We're staying home for Christmas this year, so I won't get to eat any of those goodies (unless my sister… Continue reading My Christmas Menu
Christmas Gift Wrapping Station
Can you believe there's only a little over a week until Christmas?! This week will likely be filled with last minute shopping, baking, partying....and don't forget to wrap your presents!

Staying Organized At Christmas
My brain is now in full Christmas mode. It's so much fun to get ready for all the various Christmas parties and gatherings throughout December...but it can also get a little hairy. I create a gift organizer every year to keep myself on track so I don't forget anyone or go over budget. I like… Continue reading Staying Organized At Christmas

The possibilities are endless! You can use baskets to contain: washcloths on the sink or back of commode… Continue reading Organizing With Baskets

Organize Your House: One Room At A Time {Bathroom Cabinet}
Happy Monday, lovely readers! We've lived in our house for almost a year, and I am so thankful for it! No house is perfect, and the master bathroom at my house is clearly not the product of a woman's design. It's teeny tiny, so a pedestal sink was installed when our house was remodeled a few… Continue reading Organize Your House: One Room At A Time {Bathroom Cabinet}
Organize Your House: One Room at a Time {Bathroom}
Keeping with my organizing goal of "a place for everything," I knew I had to corral the plethora of shampoo, body wash and face wash bottles in my master shower. I had to spend a little more than I would have liked, but I found the perfect shower organizers at Target. They cost about $8… Continue reading Organize Your House: One Room at a Time {Bathroom}
Organizing: One Room At A Time {Quick Closet Tip}
Last week I showed you how I organized my small bedroom closet. Our master bedroom is small enough that when the closet door is open, half of the light from the room is blocked by the door. I needed an easy and inexpensive light source. I found these tap lights at the Dollar Tree, and… Continue reading Organizing: One Room At A Time {Quick Closet Tip}
