Growing skills in parenting and organizing.
Want a new way to stay organized? Are you making multiple to do lists? Here is a weekly planner I came up with to help me keep up with all my tasks and assign them to different days of the week. I love having a week at a glance sheet to print out each week instead of having multiple to do lists.
Are you making to do lists but not able to prioritize the items as well as you need? Want to write something down on the day that it needs to be completed? Enter this new printable.
Have you ever picked up a kid for carpool and the mom asks to put the sports bag in your trunk and you freeze? If you open your trunk you know it will be super embarrassing but you have to do it. With all of our sports bags, outdoor chairs and blankets we need every weekend, just adding in one or two school bags makes our trunk look unorganized and messy. The trick is how to organize your car trunk and have it stay organized.
I went online to check out how all the super organized moms in the world keep their trunk looking great. Here are the 7 best organized trunks that I found.
I do not want to trip over my boys cleats anymore. We have some built-in shelves for them but they always end up at the bottom of the steps where they sit to take them off. My husband is threatening to throw away all the toys in the garage if we don’t tackle our problem with sports equipment storage.
I researched some ideas of how to tackle all our soccer balls, cleats and tennis rackets and get it all under control. Why reinvent the wheel? Let’s see some ideas of what others are doing.
Where is the sunscreen?!?! I am floundering around while trying to keep my 5-year-old from jumping in the water before I apply it. We all know that once they are in the pool you can’t get them to come back out.
I try to start out each summer with an organized pool and beach bag but by the end of the summer it is a disaster. This year I am using all the tricks I can find on the internet to keep all our necessities contained.
Do you ever think, “if I trip over one more backpack on the floor I am going to freak out”? I wish so badly that we had a mud room. It seems that if I had a mudroom everything would be magically organized. We need a space for backpack storage in our house so I have turned to the internet to brainstorm ideas.
Having the diaper station all organized and ready is one of the final steps to preparing the nursery for a new baby. All the diapers lined up and little sleepers ready to keep your little one all comfortable and sweet.
Your diaper changing station is command central for all your baby essentials. It not only has to be pretty but needs to be functional too. Pretty quickly you find out that keeping the diapers in a drawer just doesn’t work when you have a diaper blow out or a little boy who has decided the cool air when opening his diaper has made him need to “go” now. Everything needs to be accessed with one hand.
Why do we have 3 doll strollers in here? Plus, 10+ dolls and all the accessories. Toy organization is a problem in our playroom. The toys are getting out of control.
The problem is also that I don’t want to discourage my daughter from playing pretend. I am not a super creative mom so it is one of my greatest joys to see her pretend playing with her dolls.
If I am not going to get rid of them, then I need to search the internet for ideas to organize this mess. Plus, all the studies show that when kids see less visual clutter they play with their toys more often.
Do you get inspired by browsing Pinterest for organizing ideas? I do. And I found some amazing ideas for pantry organization.
The kitchen pantry can be difficult to organize. All sorts of items have to be accounted for, food, trash bags, small appliances, etc. I depend on swiping ideas from these lovely ladies that are way more crafty and organized than me. Luckily they share their ideas.
I am so excited. I just bought my first Mac laptop computer 3 months ago. I have been using PC’s for my entire life but one day my processor died and the cost to replace it was more than my laptop was worth so I started researching my options. Because of starting this blog, my research led me to switch to a Mac. I was excited but I didn’t realize there was going to be such a big learning curve to just do basic functions when switching from PC to Mac.

This past weekend was the first day of Spring. Exciting times here in the south because our neighborhood pool opens up this weekend. Yes, it is March and our pool will be open! This means we will gather a million things in bags and trek up to the pool and get everyone slathered in sunscreen and then they will jump in the pool and completely freak out that the water is too cold and want to go home immediately. Ha! It happens every year.
A few years ago, throughout the summer, we were constantly leaving beach towels at the pool and losing them. I couldn’t figure out why we couldn’t keep up with the towels. I would replace 1 or 2 through out the summer if I found a couple on sale but it continued to be a problem. Then I finally came up with a solution.
