Martha Stewart Wall Manager Giveaway

I am so excited to tell you about another fantastic organizing product this week! I was so happy when the folks at Staples contacted me about reviewing the Martha Stewart Wall Manager, but I was thrilled when they offered to give away TWO Wall Manager systems to my readers!  Woo hoo! I have been looking for a product that will enhance my kitchen command center and making filing paperwork a little easier.  As soon as I saw the Wall Manager, I knew it was exactly what I had been looking for. You may know if you’ve been reading my blog [...]

The start of a new year is one of my favorite times of year.  Not so much for the wintry weather (I’m a summer-lovin’ gal), but the chance to get organized during the dreary days of winter brings a sense of order and renewal.  It’s nice to get things together in preparation for busier months when our schedules pull us in all directions.

Summer Sweet Corn

Way back when Pinterest was new, I saw an idea that I knew was going to be a great one. It comes from Real Simple and it is just that – REALLY simple!  I tried it and it instantly became one of my most favorite food prep tips ever!  It makes cutting corn from the cob mess free and oh. so. easy. We love corn on the cob in my house, and wait all year for that super sweet and delicious corn fresh from the farm. A number of years ago, before Googling everything was commonplace, I decided to buy [...]

Label Your Leftovers

Do you ever lose track of leftovers in your fridge? For years, I’ve been keeping what’s left of our dinners in my favorite glass containers.  And, by years, I mean almost 15.  Yep, I’ve gotten my money’s worth with these, and then some! Besides stacking neatly in my cupboard and cleaning up quickly, I love that they are clear glass, so I can see what’s in them. There’s only one problem… Sometimes I wind up with leftovers and I can’t remember how old they are.  If I’m not sure, I dump it – wasting money and the time spent cooking [...]

Command Center

  It all started with a mess.  You know the kind.  It’s like a fire that starts with just a few embers.  It gradually grows until it becomes a blazing inferno! That hot mess in our home always happened next to the fridge. There is a small counter space between the fridge and stove and it has some kind of force that attracts papers and all kinds of miscellaneous junk. Really, it’s just too close to the table.  Everyone that walks through the kitchen “temoporarily” sets their junk stuff on the kitchen table. I don’t know about your home, but [...]

Fridge Bins

Don’t you just love organizing with bins?  I get so excited when I go to a store and see cute bins.  The possibilities of where I could use them are endless.  Sometimes, if it’s really cute (and cheap), I’ll get it even if I can’t envision where I’ll use it.  If it’s that cute, I’ll find a place for it! Last weekend my hubby and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary.  My awesome friend (the one who made graham cracker gingerbread houses with our kids), watched the kiddos so we could go on a little getaway.  We had a great [...]
