organization

So . . .  I’ve never been a real bag person. And I’ve never had an organized purse.  I have purses and bags for years at a time and they fill up with receipts and random child necessities. Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery just came out with an awesome line of bags, totes and organizers... Read More

If it wasn't for my freezer, I'm not even sure what my family would be eating for dinner. I love to cook and bake, but with two little ones running around and around and around when I'm trying to make dinner, I've pretty much given up.  But we still have to eat. Every few weeks, I go into maj... Read More

I think the majority of us want to be more organized.  And judging from all of our organization-inspired posts, we at TodaysMama REALLY want to be more organized.

Which is why when I ran across this idea to ransom their toys I almost cheered! What a great idea from Just Another Day in Paradise! A chore ransom for all that summer ... Read More

I think the organizational style that some might use to describe my household is that of a "piler". We've got piles of everything. My laundry room organization (and thus the entire basement as an extension of the laundry room) was no different. In thinking how to solve our piling problem I litera... Read More

Summer is right around the corner! And I may or may not be experiencing a little summer PTSD. Last summer was rough. My happy boy was a newborn and he was a wee bit on the fussy side. He wasn’t sleeping. I wasn’t sleeping. We had some feeding issues to work out. I felt like my girl was get... Read More

Ladies, I'm feelin' it. It's time to get my backyard plans on. Last year, I undertook a few projects in the backyard. I spray painted my ancient wrought iron furniture, planted a big raspberry patch, tackled three new grow boxes, rocked my peach harvest and on a scale of 1-10 I give myself an 8 o... Read More

My desk is in my family room, which is the same room as my kitchen; it's big and in the open. If I had people over my desk was sitting there, piled with my projects, cookbooks, fiction books, fabric, broken headphones, sewing needles, quilting batting, broken sunglasses, bills, taxes, financial docu...
