Blank Organizational Charts 2008-09-02 21:48:46 I’m all over organizing however works for you. For some, having things in print is just an easier way to keep them organized. Still others prefer the method of storing things digitally. Whichever way you prefer, blank organizational charts are a terrific method for storing different types of information.
I have a household notebook that I [...] Read more:Charts
Getting Organized Does Not Necessarily Mean Buying More Stuff 2008-09-01 09:37:16 Many people confuse getting organized with their need to purchase more stuff to contain the stuff which then makes you organized. That’s not quite how it works.
You might think that you have to go out and buy all those organizing holders, baskets, bins, storage units and whatever else they tell you you must have [...] Read more:Buying

Kitchen Organization 2008-08-31 20:36:30 The month of September I am hoping to devote to getting organized in your kitchen. A kitchen is often the central location for many things and can easily get messy, disorganized or cluttered. In fact, usually when you walk into a kitchen, you can easily spot three or four items immediately that could have a [...] Read more:Kitchen

What Do I Do With Paper Work? 2008-08-30 15:53:25 Simple - get it organized.
A great trick or tip that I learned many years ago, is that keeping paperwork for anything together is easier with a binder. We have multiple binders for multiple areas and types of paperwork in our home. We have a household notebook for often used forms and other items.
We have [...]
Quick Tips for Organizing Your Calendar 2008-09-20 16:35:03 I was sitting here stressing about all of these things I have coming up, and I started thinking about how I organize my calendar (or lack of organizing maybe).

Mom’s Plan It Calendar - The Calendar For Families 2008-09-19 09:23:39 I love this thing. I found my first copy a few years ago. We used it faithfully and have ever since. It is a 17 month organizer (which is much better than a standard 12 month calendar) with a storage pocket and extra large grid’s to fill in those important dates.
They come with 357 stickers [...] Read more:Calendar

The Junk Drawers of the Internet 2008-09-18 09:12:07 I realized yesterday that while I say I don’t have a junk drawer in my kitchen anymore (and really I don’t), I seem to have other drawers throughout the house (even in my bedroom - a couple) that could stand a good cleaning.
The sad part of junk drawers is the fact that they contain items [...] Read more:Internet
Organizing The Utensil Drawer 2008-09-17 18:23:29 I mentioned the other day how much I love those Utensil carousel’s or crocks that you put next to the stove to make reaching what you need a lot easier. Probably one of my favorite organizational products for the kitchen, simply because they not only provide organization, but they provide a useful solution to accessing [...] Read more:Drawer
Organizing The Junk Drawer 2008-09-16 09:08:19 We all have one. I am not particularly fond of them, since the majority of the time they are filled with things that really should go somewhere else. A stray button. An extra pair of scissors. A few broken crayons. A few batteries. Some change. A post it note pad. And so the list goes [...] Read more:Drawer
Hobbiest and Craft Magazines 2008-10-07 22:52:17 There aren’t too many crafts or hobbies that don’t come without a subscription to a creative magazine showcasing ideas, designs and fun projects for you to duplicate or get creative with. So what’s the point? The point is, those magazines pile up and take up space and some issues even accumulate dust. Among those magazines [...] Read more:Craft

Coming Out of the Rain 2008-10-16 20:07:41 So I’ve been evaluating the mess I am contending with and trying to decide how I plan to conquer it. I participate in NaNoWriMo each year and with that coming up rapidly, I have got to be more focused. My space isn’t just used for my scrapbooking, it is also used as an office area [...]
Too Many Rubber Stamps 2008-10-15 10:11:59 This is a picture of a problem I had. My best friend and enabler had gone to a garage sale and found craft stuff like you wouldn’t believe. She called me and told me she was picking me up in 5 minutes, be ready. I was. When we arrived at the garage sale, I was [...] Read more:Rubber

Wanna See a Mess? 2008-10-14 09:48:22 It’s terrible isn’t it! There isn’t a single spot of table space available for anything. This was before I switched the room to what it is now, because I realized how unorganized I actually was. The table that is on the left in the photograph is actually smaller and not there anymore. It just has [...]
Nicely Set Up Part 2 2008-10-13 10:39:50 So, what did you think yesterday? Not bad eh? I have a pretty nice area that I can move around in and be part of the family. I don’t mind it at all and its a great area to work in. The only thing it truly needs is just some better lighting but I am [...]
Nicely Set Up Part 1 2008-10-12 09:39:49 These pictures were taken of my scrapbooking space when I first set it up. It was actually for the most part “organized” yet I continue to use that term loosely as I discovered many problems along the way.
I use my scrapbooking space as a place to do my writing, so my laptop usually sits where [...]
The Garage of Dust and Doom 2008-11-16 21:01:22 I really want to post a picture of this dark dreary place, but I’m sorta guessing Mike might want to kill me afterward. LOL It’s pretty bad. Actually, now it’s LESS bad. But that’s my doing too.
I was out in the garage earlier hunting for something (I so cannot even remember what) and I moved [...] Read more:Garage
Write It All Down 2008-11-14 08:38:29 While blog hopping this morning, I happened upon this quote. Somewhere I remember seeing it in the past, but for whatever reason it hit home this morning, and I thought I would share.

It is TOTALLY an Obsession! 2008-11-12 09:07:19 A couple weeks back I posted a post on my other blog about how many cookbooks I owned. At first I was embarrassed because at that time I was looking at an area in our home that had cookbooks in storage that we wanted to keep but don’t use regularly.

Organizing Children’s Papers Part 1 2008-11-10 07:34:50 This certainly falls under the head of Getting Kids Organized but at the same time, it is typically the parent’s who are unorganized enough to keep their child’s papers straight.
