Small Space Organizing, by Kathryn Bechen Whether you're downsizing after the kids have moved out, or trying to make more room into your current home as your family grows, many of us are familiar with the feeling that we just don't have enough space for everything! I found this book mostly discussed how to make the most of your [More...]
Socks
It was time (well, way past due) that I tackled the sock basket. How do you deal with loose socks? [More...]
30 Days of Getting Organized: Kitchen Clean-out
Here is my last post for 30 Days of Getting Organized. I'm a bit disappointed that so few people linked up, but that's OK because I still got things done that I'd been meaning to for a long time.

30 Days of Getting Organized: The Bathroom
We are blessed to have 2 full bathrooms in our home; one on each level. Since the kids are downstairs most of the day, and therefore so are we, the main bathroom is the downstairs one. The problem? The downstairs bathroom is tiny and has very little storage. This vanity looks innocent enough, right? Beware opening it. This is where we have [More...]
