I’m thrilled that my 11-year-old daughter wants her room to be “all grown up”! I confess, I’m excited partly because that room doubles as a guest room, and partly because I’ve been looking forward to decorating a growing girl’s room. So when we started looking for ways to store her toys, I just about died of happiness when […]
Amazing Suitcase Organization
My family hates traveling. Does that make us weird? Well who can blame us with our bad luck in travel! We’ve gotten separated due to over-filled flights, we’ve lost bags, thrown away items because of over-weight bags, we’ve been searched and prodded, we’ve endured disgusting vegan versions of airport food (could airport food get worst? YES!), and gotten […]
How To Create The Ultimate Sewing Kit
It’s that moment when you’re rushing to finish a project and you absentmindedly reach into your sewing kit for the scissors and get a finger full of needles instead. Oooouch!

Pintastic Pinboards & Painted Pins
By now you realize that I’m a bit pin board crazy. You have to understand, in a home full of little artists you need plenty of spaces to display artwork, inspiration, and other items. So when I found this ugly picture of a cherub in a beautiful frame at Goodwill for a buck, I had […]
Library Book Basket
My girls are big readers, and big mess makers, and big on losing things.Not a good combination for taking advantage of a “free” library…I believe I’m paying my way in fees.So when I take a moment to write about buying a library book basket, you’ll have a better idea of why…. when you have kids […]
CD Storage
I seem to have a sudden multiplication of CD’s lying around the house lately. Ugh, it’s like we’ve never heard of an iPod (!!). Between recorded talks, and family members feeding my kids brand new music collection obsession, CD’s are popping up with an alarming Tribble-like rate (sorry, my inner Trekkie emerging). I can no longer […]
