Spring Cleaning Checklist & Essentials

March 20, 2013 · Comments { 3 }

It’s here! Spring has sprung and warmer weather is on its way. This also means that it’s time to start deep cleaning our homes. I know, it’s a drag for many, but schedule the time and complete the project task by task. If you don’t know where to start, Martha Stewart has created a comprehensive spring cleaning checklist for you to download. The task list can be easily tailored to your home.

Before you start cleaning, you’ll need the essentials. I love that so many cleaning products are eco-friendly, help reduce clutter and are made in cheery colors and patterns… just makes the task more fun, don’t you think?

July 27, 2012 · Comments { 3 }

This week has been a hectic one – juggling work and kids while my husband was away on a business trip. It made me appreciate the tools that help keep me organized. Making my “To Do” list is an important part.

These adorable weekly notepad trio by Pinhole Press have magnetic backs (great for the frig!). Personalize each with a different photo and have one for home, of the the office and one for the grandparents!

And how cute are these personalized notepads designed just for making lists? I will be ordering some!

What’s on your list for the weekend?

Happy Organizing & Happy Friday,

Laundry. There is no getting around the task, but it can be tackled many ways. Popular approaches include one load per day, one day for all or separate loads for each person in your household. My family likes to have “folding parties” where the kids fold their own clothing. In any case, test out the different approaches and see what works best for your family.
