Easy Organizing
Don’t Lose Your S*&$% in the Back of the Cabinets
One way to lose your stuff at the back of a cabinet, especially the lower kitchen cabinets, is to not utilize every square inch to its fullest. To avoid disorganization and maximizing space, pull-out drawers work wonders. Years ago, pull-out drawers were only available as a custom option in cabinets, but today you can find them [...]
Quick Tip on Tuesday
Want to create more time in your week to relax? Group tasks together. First, instead of literally running all over town, map out your errands and get them done in one afternoon, starting at one end of town. This will save time and gas. Make it a mission and don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by [...]
New Mom
Mother’s Day is Just around the Corner
With Mother’s Day in a little more than one week, my daughters started asking me what I’d like as a gift. As a single mom, my first response is “Please bring me coffee and be nice to me all day.” My kids are genuinely good kids, so the “be nice to me” is basically a request to [...]

It’s the first baby monitor on the market that allows you to rotate and pivot the camera from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, which means if baby is left [...]

Don’t Lose Your S*&$% in the Back of the Cabinets
One way to lose your stuff at the back of a cabinet, especially the lower kitchen cabinets, is to not utilize every square inch to its fullest.

Years ago, pull-out drawers were only available as a custom option in cabinets, but today you can find them at Lowe's, Home Depot and many online retailers.

Want to create more time in your week to relax? Group tasks together. First, instead of literally running all over town, map out your errands and get them done in one afternoon, starting at one end of town. This will save time and gas. Make it a mission and don't allow yourself to be sidetracked by a bargain or an unplanned stop along the way! Next, take the time you have "leftover" and do something fun and rewarding like a walk outside or an afternoon at the beach. Try and make it … Continue Reading...

Mother’s Day is Just around the Corner
With Mother's Day in a little more than one week, my daughters started asking me what I'd like as a gift. As a single mom, my first response is "Please bring me coffee and be nice to me all day." My kids are genuinely good kids, so the "be nice to me" is basically a request to not ask for anything more than, "what would you like to do?" It could happen one day out of the year. ;) We will actually enjoy a Mother's Day weekend, beginning with a Moms' Run (it's the 9th annual!!) to support … Continue Reading...
Come & Go with Ease: Front Hall/Closet Makeover
Some houses have an entryway with a closet and others don't. Your main "entryway" for the family may be the back or side entrance that doesn't have a closet at all. Whatever the circumstances, busy families need a dropping point for things that come and go every day, such as jackets, book bags, keys and mail. Recently, a twitter follower of mine asked "How do you get coats, shoes, boots and all the stuff a family of 4 to fit in a hall closet?" Good question! Here are three simple steps … Continue Reading...
Maximize Your Closet Space: Big or Small
I want to feel like Carrie when I enter my closet. Don't you? Hey, we start and end our days in the closet. It's where we choose what we'll wear to head out into the world. How do we make it a great space? Simple... Unless you have a ginormous closet, you want to remove all out-of-season clothing AND clothing that no longer fits. We all have some clothing we hope to get back into one day or know we won't, but simply don't want to part with, but unless you have a clear fitness or weight … Continue Reading...
Mad about Running
Yes, I admit it: I've gone mad! This running thing has taken over and I'm actually setting a goal of running a Half Marathon this year. My journey started in January. My goal was to "do" (whatever that meant...maybe run/walk/cry at some point) the Cooper River Bridge Run, a 10K. The commitment was easy because I simply had to drive across town. Honestly, I don't think I really knew what I was committing to. However, I'm competitive and all about setting goals, so that was it. In January, I … Continue Reading...
