Saving Time and Money Through Organization
I am married to a shoe hound! I thought I had a lot of shoes, but I have met my match. His love for shoes isn’t something that will be waning any time soon.

Having a pantry is a luxury to me. Keeping the pantry organized can be a daunting task, but being able to easily see and access the food we have keeps us from wasting money buying duplicate items. It saves us time by being able to easily get what we need when we are cooking or running out the door to work, school, or the ball field with the kids to
There is a great way to organize coats, hats, scarves, purses, etc., but this helpful item doesn’t have a great name! The best and most universal name I can find is a coat hook rail or board or rack.

The sound of chalk on a board (not fingernails) is very soothing to
Have 5 minutes? Transform a picture frame into a dry erase board! Have a place to display your menu, kids’ activities, to-do list, homework, etc. with a DIY Dry Erase Board. I even use one to display the “quote of the week” to add a little inspiration to our lives.

The problem is what to do with all of those cute necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to keep them in sight and organized. After finding a perfect spot in my closet for displaying my costume jewelry, I covered 12×12 adhesive cork tiles with decorative 12×12 scrapbook paper using glue dots and attached the cork tiles to
Layering is a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. From jewelry to clothing, pile it on! One of my biggest issues was taming the torrent of tank tops and camis in my wardrobe. My genius solution was to install a swing out towel bar on a wall in my closet. I ordered the towel bar from Amazon.com and installed it using self-drilling drywall anchors with screws
