It’s hard to take absolutely everything into account when making plans. That’s because our minds generally focus on the biggest priorities first, and then extrapolate from there. So for example, you might set off early to get t the airport because you know a large marathon is taking place across the city, but if you don’t know the exact route that will allow you to arrive on time for your flight, you may find yourself being detoured in ways you didn’t expect. The same principle applies to renovation. Houses can seem simple when you’re planning to improve or change them, but then you realize Continue reading...
Easy Projects to Organize Your Home
This post contains affiliate links. Now that the new year is into full swing, I thought I'd review some of the organizing projects I've completed in my house. It's been a few months since I've organized many of the places I use for storage in my home, so I thought I'd think about the organizing I've done so far and see what I can do to add more storage and reorganize any messes that might have popped up since my original projects. Now that I'm reviewing some of my previous projects, it gets me thinking that I'd love to organize my master bedroom closet with a beautiful closet organization Continue reading...

Making a Basement Rec Room {12 Months of Goals} #DonateStuffCreateJobs
Hi, everyone! Welcome to this month's 12 months of goals post. Once a month, my friend, Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom and I each set a monthly goal for ourselves. We've found that setting small achievable goals is a great way to get stuff done! I'd like to work on clearing out some stuff from my home's basement for my goal this month. We have a lot of junk down there! Now that my daughters are teens and like to have their friends over more often, it would be nice to have a big space for them to host their friends. My home has a very open floor plan, so the only private space they have Continue reading...
National Make a Difference Day
Happy Saturday, everyone! Today is an important day -- National Make A Difference Day. Volunteers are getting together across the nation to do what they can to make a difference in their communities. I used to be more involved in my community than I have been lately. For five years I was the co-leader of my daughters' Daisy, Brown and Junior Girl Scout troops. It was fun -- I enjoyed working with the kids and meeting other moms. But I got burned out after a while. I still work to help out my community, but I do so by other means. Besides volunteer work, there are other ways to offer time Continue reading...

Happy Wednesday! Today I am joining a bunch of bunch of bloggers in sharing our summer bucket lists! So this is my "bucket list" for this summer! Enjoy our family vacation to Disney.

August Goals

My friend, Carrie at Curly Crafty Mom, got me started on setting small, personal goals each month. Setting these small goals for myself really help to get things done! I set goals for July, but I have to admit that with a two-week family summer vacation, and with my kids out of school for the summer, I didn't get that much done. But, I did make some progress on my goals. Because I know I will be busy this month Continue reading...

An Organized Home in 2015
Hey, everyone! How has your weekend been? It's a rainy weekend here in New Jersey, and my family and I are feeling a little cooped up because of the weather!

A House Full of Clutter: My Daily Struggle
When my husband and I moved into our house, our home, save for a small pile of boxes in the basement, was blissfully empty. We wondered how we would fill the house! Now, some 12 years later, our house is filled with so much stuff that I don’t know what to do with it all! I am constantly working to organize it all. An Organized Chaos The biggest problem in my house is that nobody (except for me) really wants to get rid of anything. While I’ve been dutifully emptying my unneeded stuff out of our home bit by bit, the other members of my family have been clinging to nearly every possession! My Continue reading...
