Don't be fooled! I can't do it all!

Have you seen how some bloggers seem to have it all? A perfectly decorated home, cleaned, de-cluttered, every project known to mankind done with ease, 8 kids, homeschooling, AND they run a blog full time? And you think "How in the world are they doing all that?" 



Well, let me tell you, they aren't! I'm not! We can't do all that. No one can - well, no one can do it and still have kids and a husband who like being around them.

My Family Room tweaks

Well, I'm at it again. I'm changing things. I'm not a huge "re-arranger", mostly because our furniture pretty much fits in the place I have and there aren't a lot of options, but I like to move stuff out and change things around a bit.

Where do I start? How to organize when you feel overwhelmed.

This blog will be three years old in May and it still is my purpose to motivate, inspire, and give you ideas while having fun organizing. I've never changed that desire. And, while I know that there are many of you who LOVE to organize, like me, there are also a big chunk of you who are overwhelmed by the clutter and disarray of your home or life. You have no idea where to start.

OMF to the Rescue: Two Organizing Dilemmas resolved

I am not a competitive person, but I LOVE a good challenge, especially when it has to do with organizing. I think it's just a lot of fun to see all the C-R-A-Z-Y spaces some of you have to work with...and be able to help you figure out a great way to get them to function normally. Sometimes what it takes is just another person, like me, being able to look at it from a different direction. Today's OMF to the Rescue is revisiting TWO spaces that had BIG problems. And, with my advice {and some of yours}, they found solutions to their awkward spaces.

The Big Girls' Organized Room!

My sweet little girl is growing up. She's beginning to show signs that an area she has struggled with, organizing and clutter, is improving each time we work on it - and it improved with age for our son. Keeping an organized room is important, whether you think so or not. She's a big girl now and she is expected to keep it looking neat and clean.

The Donation Box

I have a big rule in my own closet that anytime I buy something new {or used}, another thing has to go. One in, one out rule. I'm pretty strict about it and have been trying to do this for many years. But, the best and easiest way I've seen myself keep to doing this is by having a donation box in my closet.
