How is this better enough than FlyLady to pay actual money for it?
I like a checklist. I get a lot of satisfaction seeing the check marks on my MM list. For instance today I feel like I’m really behind in the week. We’re still cleaning up after the […]
A couple weeks ago,
Julie had a post about the checklist system from
MotivatedMoms.com
I love checklists! I love lists! I even like being told what to do (it means I don’t have to think)! At a mere $8 for the download, I knew I must have this product. A few minutes later my printer was […]
While I love the final results of a home improvement project, I hate the mess. Even when doing a simple project like painting, I’m anxious to get everything cleaned up and moved back into place.
I told myself at the start of our master bath update that I wouldn’t let the mess get to me. Afterall […]

Inspired by
Laura’s work in her spice cabinet, I went to Meijer today in search of baskets. I hit the organization jackpot.
I liked the white wire baskets with handles but couldn’t figure out how much they were. I took one to a scanner at the end of the aisle. It rang up for 49 cents! […]
After thinking more about
recipe organization yesterday, I came to the same conclusion as
Rebecca. I don’t like writing recipes on cards. This is precisely why my recipe box is stuffed with papers ripped from magazines or printed off the internet. A 3 ring binder will be a much better fit for me.
We have some […]
Laura is hosting a
monthly organizing roundup. Each month will focus on a different room in your home. She’s also asking participants to send her their before/after pictures. She will then choose a couple to feature on her blog.
I also love before/after pictures. I like peeking into others homes. Maybe that’s not the best sentence. […]
Tammy recently blogged about Rachel Anne’s project for 2008. She is calling the project
Sanctuary is in the Small Things. Each week day she posts a small project you can do around your home or for your family to make your home more of a sanctuary. Each project has a points value. Keep track of […]
