With as many times as I have moved in the last 10 years, I have learned a thing or two about organization. One thing that I quickly learned was that I needed to come up with some good solutions for jewelry organization.

I always love hearing about life hacks that people use. I also LOVE seeing how people organize things in their lives and I wanted to share an easy hack with you! I have tried lots of ways to organize my vinyl from Expressions Vinyl over the years, but once I found a way that worked for me, I have stuck with it ever since. It has been 6 years and I am still using this method, so it must be a winner!
Yes, you saw that right! I use [Read more…]
Organize Your Family with One App
January 5, 2017 By Leave a Comment
Staying organized in 2017 is going to be so much easier with the help of the CURAGO app. I have partnered with CURAGO for this post.
I can’t even tell you how many apps I have tried over the years in my search of finding a great app to organize my family. I wasn’t ever able to find one that had all of the features I was looking for, so I always went back to my paper planner. The problem with my paper planner is that I forget it at home almost every time it seems like I would need it. What is the point of trying to stay organized if you can’t even be organized enough to remember to grab your planner in the first place?
I never forget my phone, so finding a great app to help organize my life just made more sense than trying to remember a paper planner each time I walked out of the door. That is why I was completely overjoyed to learn about the CURAGO app!

It is the time of year where all of a sudden every corner of the house feels like it is full of clutter! It makes my little OCD heart happy to scroll through social media and see beautiful, organized spaces everywhere. One area that I am constantly trying to keep organized is my bathroom.

I found some really gorgeous makeup organization ideas that I just know will help my bathroom look beautiful while being more organized and I hope they help you too!

Need a great Mother’s Day gift idea? Mother’s Day can be hard holiday to shop for because you want your gift to be thoughtful. The problem is a lot of thoughtful gifts aren’t necessarily things that mom can use. I love the idea of combining both a practical gift with something thoughtful that she will love. That’s why I decided to cover a clear acrylic makeup case with vinyl to turn it into a floral and polka dot makeup holder and fill it with some of my favorite beauty products as the perfect Mother’s Day gift!
I think the best gifts to give are the ones that you would love to receive yourself. I know that I would love to receive this as a gift! It was really easy to make, so I will probably be making a duplicate for my own bathroom counter as well! To make your own you need… [Read more…]
Makeup Organizing Tips

Let’s face it, bathrooms aren’t made for the amounts of makeup that I have, but I don’t think bathrooms are even made for the amounts of makeup that the everyday woman has either! The space and compartments just aren’t there. That is why I think it is so important to use the space you do have very wisely! In the new house we are in, there is roughly ZERO storage for my makeup. I had to come up with something creative to keep my makeup accessible, without it looking like clutter. Here are some of my makeup organizing tips that I learned while getting my makeup organizing system figured out.
I truly believe that if your makeup is easy to access, you are more likely to wear makeup and use more of your makeup options. That is why [Read more…]

Kids’ Art Organization Display
January 13, 2015 By Leave a Comment
My daughter loves pictures. She loves coloring pictures and keeping every, single one of them. She likes finding photos and stuffing them in every purse she owns, and sometimes she even sleeps with them. I find myself picking up her treasured pictures everywhere I go. Sometimes it gets a little out of hand and I have to throw a few away when she isn’t looking. She just is so proud of them, that I started feeling bad for throwing them away. I wanted a place for her to be able to show off her treasures, so I made a fun little board to organize her art and be able to display them for all to see.
This kids’ art organization display is one of the easiest projects I have ever taken on, and I already know it is going to make a serious impact on how organized her room feels. The fun thing about this is it can be totally customized for different kids and where you are going to be displaying their artwork. I was able to find this adorable wooden arrow at Michael’s and I just loved it, but if you had a certain theme in a room you wanted to stick with, you could do any shape you wanted. You could even use a scrap of wood. Here is what I used to create this display…

If you have been a reader of mine for a while, you probably know that I am slightly obsessed with organized spaces. I love them! There is nothing that is more satisfying than to have an organized home where things are easy to find. After moving to a rental, I had a difficult time creating as organized of a space as I wanted because we lost about 200 sq ft and a huge garage that we had before. This created quite the challenge when it came to finding a place for all of our stuff, and we all know that it is important for everything to have a place! [Read more…]
Organization Board Family Command Center
September 24, 2014 By 104 Comments
In March 2012, I made an organization board to help keep my family in order. I made it with a baby strapped to my chest and decided to put it on my blog that I had just quit my day job for. Three months earlier, I had decided to take the plunge and be a full time blogger… at the exact same time as I had my first child. Interesting timing, right? Well, that little organization board tutorial went VIRAL! I had no idea what was going on. I just suddenly was getting hundreds of comments, emails, and my life was completely changed. That post is still one of my top traffic sources to this day, but I cringe every time I see it pinned on Pinterest, which is over 500k times… that is a lot of cringing! The lighting was terrible and I am SO over chevron print and the colors aren’t exactly my style anymore. You can see the full tutorial for my first organization board, here.
I have wanted to change up the good ol’ organization board for a while now, but just have had ZERO motivation to do it. Once we moved, I decided to finally take on that project. I set my entire old board a side and started fresh! Ladies and gentlemen (for the one random dude who happens to come across this post), I present to you… The Organization Board Family Command Center version 2.0!
Ahhhhh… isn’t that so much better? I really wanted to bring in some natural elements with the stained wood, while keeping some funky features like the stripes and the metallics.
