Winners of the Pantries, Closets, and Cupboards Challenge

September 24, 2011 By

This challenge was enough to make anyone who loves an organized space swoon. And it was perfect inspiration for the rest of us, who need a little motivation to get more organized.

Linkup for the Organization Ideas Challenge!

August 18, 2011 By

There’s just something about the days just before school starts that puts us into organization mode. Maybe it’s watching our kids sharpen their pencils and put new notebooks into their backpacks that gets us in an orderly state of mind–we can’t help but remembering back to those days when a desk or locker space was all we had to call or own. Or it could be that we know that the chaotic rush to get out the door each morning is around the corner, so we’d better be ready! Whatever our reasons, it’s this time of year that we like {…Read More…}
