I figured that since I just did a post on magazines, I should also show you this great video on sorting your magazines. I wouldn’t want your magazine collection to get out of control and it be my fault! lol. I like the folder she used that you can just grab and go when you have an appointment. How many times have you been sitting at the dentist office reading this great article in a magazine and then they call your name next? You never get to finish reading the article!! This way, you will have your own collection of magazine articles that you want to read with you. I think I will definitely try this technique. [Read more]

I have two great organizing magazines to tell you about. I received my “Organize Magazine“  in the mail a few days ago and I love it! It has Sherri Shepherd, from The View, on the cover and they have a story about how a professional organizer helped her get her New York apartment very organized. She moved from a big house in L.A., to a small apartment in New York. Big difference! I got some great ideas for my own home that I am planning on putting into place. The other magazine that I bought is the “Southern Living Storage & Organizing” issue. My daughter and I were at the grocery store and I swear that magazine called out my name to buy it. I hate it when that happens. This magazine is full of great organizing ideas.... [Read more]

It is hard to keep a house clean if you have clutter everywhere. The first step to a healthy home for yourself and your family is to first get rid of the clutter and then you can get yourself on a cleaning routine. Everyone has their different ideas when it comes to what organized and clean look like. There is nothing wrong with that what-so-ever.

I have really been letting my house cleaning chores slip through the cracks lately and then my family and I end up spending part of Saturday cleaning. I just don’t... [Read more]

Have you ever renovated your kitchen or maybe really wanted to? I have been to people’s houses before to help them organize a space and they would prefer to just bull doze over it and start from scratch. There are several rooms in my home that I would love to renovate. I have never lived through a renovation, but I have heard the woes and the tales of what a pain it can be. James Cury, the executive editor of Epicurious.com, the premier award-winning food Web site, blogs about his adventures in redoing his kitchen in his first home. He is taking us through the whole process from choosing the appliances, compromising on details with his wife and the ongoing battle with the city for approval. Doesn’t that sound like fun?! His latest... [Read more]
