My son believes that all of his stuffed animals are alive and secretly play at night when he is at sleep or during the day while he is at school. I chalk it all up to one too many screenings of Toy Story. The downside of this is that we are not allowed to get [...]

In my line of work, one of the most common reasons I see houses get so disorganized is because the owners have a great system for getting stuff into the house (shopping, gifts, freebies) and no system for getting stuff out of the house.

Don’t start organizing without making a plan for your space first. Take the time to sit down and write out a list of all the functions the room has to serve. Otherwise, how will you know what should stay or go? Don’t expect to get your entire room organized in a day. Can you say [...]

Cute craft project that kids can make to organize their desk at home. Simply cover old cans in colorful scrapbook paper and glue together into a pyramid (I’d use super glue or Gorilla Glue for this). Then kids can have fun putting their pencils, markers, scissors and more in each one. I love ideas that [...]

So instead, I want to [...]

I give out a flyer called “Top 10 Organizing Tips for Parents” at the presentations I give. I’ve never shared it here, although I have blogged about bits and pieces of it. My intention is for parents to put the flyer on their refrigerator, so if they feel stressed out about how messy their child’s [...]

1. Frame the artwork and line it up on floating shelves. This is good for people who can’t nail things into the wall or for those who don’t want too permanent of a display. 2. Put the artwork inside of hinged frames from Li’l DaVinci Store and Display Art Cabinet. I love how easy [...]
