I can't believe that the new school year is almost here! In my daughters' school district, school starts in about two and a half weeks! So, to get my kids ready for school, I made custom fabric covered bulletin boards for them! I found a fun and easy way to put the bulletin boards together -- I simply cut the fabric to fit the cork part of inexpensive bulletin boards, and pinned the fabric onto the board with decorative silver tacks! My kids love their new bulletin boards, since they each picked out their own fabrics, and the boards match the decor of their bedrooms! I am sharing the Continue reading...
Back to School Ideas
The BACK TO SCHOOL countdown has begun! In my kids' school district, the new school year is only about three weeks away! That means many of us moms will be scrambling to be ready for school and hectic fall schedules! So, I'm sharing some ideas to get the new school year off to a good start! I love the DIY Homework Station Idea by Must Have Mom! I love how she organized all her kids' homework supplies (like notebooks, crayons, pencils, etc.) to fit neatly on one portable tray. And each school supply has its own container! Genius! My kids like to do their homework on our kitchen table, so Continue reading...
#GiftFellowes for Dads, Grads and Brides!
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Fellowes Brands. I received a product sample to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” With June around the corner, lots of us will be celebrating Father's Day, graduations and weddings with loved ones. That means many of us will be searching for the perfect gift idea for that special someone. Gifting the perfect item to a grad, dad, groom or bride can be tough -- you don't want to get them another tie, picture frame or something that will end up in the back of a Continue reading...
Monday Favorites (Link Up Party Picks)
Last week, I was lucky enough to co-host the Creative Spark Link Up Party. It was so much fun! There were so many great projects and ideas shared! So today I am sharing my favorite tutorials and projects from that party! I am crazy about Deb from Seeking Lavender Lane's Tutorial on how to keep a beautiful home with kids! I think she's just brilliant! In her tutorial, she shows how she hides her kids' toys and craft items in plain sight! Her post shows her beautiful living space, complete with grey walls and white furniture. Her space looks like it's right out of a magazine! But scattered Continue reading...
How to Organize Toys for Kids
Today I'm off enjoying the weekend with my family, so I thought I'd share one of Mom Home Guide's oldies but goodies! A big problem most moms face is how to organize toys for my kids. It seems that these days, kids have way more toys than kids did when I was young. Or, maybe, my parents did a better job of organizing my and my sister’s toys when we were kids than I do organizing my kids’ toys. I just find it hard to organize toys! My daughters’ room doesn’t get cleaned as often as it should because it takes me over an hour just to clear all their toys off the floor and their beds before I Continue reading...
#FF Follow Friday Faves!
Happy Friday, everyone! In honor of the end of the work and school week, I thought I'd share with you some of my Follow Friday (#FF) faves! To start out, I love the wire heart ring tutorial by Erlene of My Pinterventures. I never thought I would try to make jewelry, but I might give her rings a try! They are so pretty, and they don't look that difficult to make! Her rings might make nice gifts for my daughters for Valentine's Day! I met Erlene through the Spring Craft Blog Hop that we co-hosted this week together! My next fave is the lace dress for winter by Carrie of Crafty Curly Mom. I Continue reading...

I got a lot done over the past few months in organizing the clutter in my house, so I decided to share a few of the organizing tactics that have worked for me so far.

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...
