Topics

There are many topics that I hope to cover through this blog. If you have any ideas, especially ones that aren't listed here, please let me know. I would love to know what you would like to read about!

There is more to organizing than just cute little boxes and bins, although I love those! When I think of organizing, I think about time, finances, clutter, and anything we can do to help make our lives easier.

I hope to blog about various topics including: scheduling, organizing particular rooms or places in the home or office, being organized financially and how it can help you save money, de-cluttering, and various products you can use to help make your home and life more organized. My family may have a move in our near future, so I'll probably relate some organization topics to moving.

I find that I can be very overwhelmed at times when looking at everything that needs to be done around here. Who has the free time to tackle major projects? I know I don't! Because of this, I will try to break each topic into bite-sized pieces to make it much more manageable.

Most of us may not have much free time, but we can find 20 minutes a day to accomplish a task that will help make the rest of our lives easier!

A little bit about me...

I'm a mom of three very busy young children and the wife to a wonderfully supportive husband. We live in the good-old Midwestern US with our two four-legged family members (our crazy dogs).

I had a job outside the home in my previous life - before kids - but am now a full-time mom. I sometimes miss having a job outside the home, but our children will only be young once, so it's worth it.

I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, being with my family, and organizing, of course! (Okay, now this is starting to sound like a dating ad!) I've never been one to enjoy cleaning, but there's something about organizing that really gets me excited. It's sick, I know! I love that by being organized, I can save a lot of money, time, and effort. It just takes some time and effort to get started. It doesn't even require a lot of money - just some creative solutions!

Am I or my house perfectly organized? Not exactly, but I'm working on it!

I hope you'll join me on this organizing adventure!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

I love to organize (I wish I loved to clean as well!), and I love how much easier life seems when it is organized.

Now, I'm definitely far from perfect. My house and my family's lives have a long way to go to be fully organized. If anyone knows how to constantly keep a house clean and organized with three young kids, let me know!!! For now, I'm going to do the best I can, and accept all of the "fun" that comes with having kids in the house.

I thought one way to motivate myself (and others) to get and stay organized would be to start a blog. I'll share what works for me - and would love to find out what works for you - as we go through organizing our homes and lives together.

I'm hoping to post ideas, photos, etc. nearly every day. Please bear with me as I get used to the whole blogging idea.

You can subscribe to my blog (using the subscribe button on the left) to stay up-to-date with the happenings around here. Do you have ideas or suggestions? I'd love to hear them! I'm also pretty new to Twitter, but will try to twitter when I've posted something new to my blog.

Tomorrow I will fill you in on a little about me to be followed the next day by topics I'm hoping to blog about.

Come along and join me! We can organize our homes and lives together!
