How to Organize your Chores so they ALL get Done

how to organize your housework so it all gets done

I am good at my weekly cleaning dust, vacuum, clean bathrooms, mop floor, etc. But I am not so good at the "deep cleaning" or things that need to be cleaned, but not every week. So, my sister and I created this system on how to organize your chores to hep us stay up with cleaning all the other stuff. We call this "The Cleaning Box". Here is how the system works! We found the tins at Roberts Craft and then used scrapbook paper, buttons, flowers, ribbon and mod podge to make them cute. Inside we … [Read more...]

A Beautiful Pantry

How to organize your pantry and make it beautiful

I am excited to show you the project I've been working on the past month- my beautiful pantry! I've never loved the location of my pantry- it is tucked on the wall behind our kitchen table so when someone is sitting at the head of the table, the pantry doors can't open all the way unless you tell them to "suck in".  Someday, (which means probably never!)

School Days File Box

school days file box

School is starting soon and it is time to think about how to organize your kid's school papers. This idea is a favorite of mine- and I can't take the credit for it as I saw it first from my sister in law. But it is the system we have been using for 3 years now and it is brilliant! Simply purchase a plastic file box (you can find them around back-to-school time for $2 or $3!) Add some hanging file folders and label it with each grade. Then embellish it with your child's name in some vinyl … [Read more...]
