The 30 Day Organizational Challenge has ended at
Org Junkie. Go
here to see the contestants in the whole room category. Then go here to see the
small space contestants. Laura will announce the winners on December 7th.
Isn’t that inspiring? Good job to all who participated!

We’re in the market for new living room furniture. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am. Because we are redoing the entire room, I’m researching different brands, styles and colors for the room. I came across a great tool on the
Broyhill site that I think would be helpful for anyone […]

I can’t believe I’ve never found
OnlineOrganizing.com before. What a great resource for organizational weirdos like myself or for those who are um…organizationally challenged.

Do you procrastinate on projects that seem too big to deal with? I’m guilty of this. I over estimate how long something is going to take. I then try to find a big block of time out of my week to tackle it when it really only needed a few minutes here and there.

My husband and I have been talking recently about how to make our home office function better. We have big plans for the room as a whole but we also need to address paper clutter. Here […]

OK you’ve got a list of your favorite meals, a pantry and freezer inventory and a look at your calendar for December. Here’s how to pull all that together.
Make heading on a new piece of paper that says December 1- 8th. Underneath the heading write December 1st. Then look at your calendar and see what […]

Got your paper and pencil from yesterday? Good. First stop is the freezer.
Step 4: look in your freezer (look in your extra freezer too if you’ve got one) and see what meat you have on hand. Make note of what you’ve got and the quantity. While you’re there, make note of what else is lurking […]

I grocery shop using
The Grocery Game. The premise is that grocery store sales cycle every 12 weeks. When an item is on sale, you buy enough of it to get you through to the next sale cycle. Consequently I have a well stocked pantry and freezer.
The sale ads in December are stinky unless you […]
