Organize Your Family with Personalized Stationary from Stuck On You-Giveaway

October 25, 2017 by Kathryn 69 Comments

As we get ready to move into our dream house at the end of the month, I’m absolutely thrilled to have the chance to arrange a new home for my family. And since I’m starting from scratch, I’m determined to put some systems in place to help keep us organized over the busy winter months!

To help with that, Stuck On You offered me some of its new stationary products to use in our new home. These innovative personalized stationary items range from cards to calendars to notepads, and I knew at once they’d be a great way to add both style and organization to our house.

Keep Your Closet Organized with a Shoe Rack from Ohuhu

October 5, 2015 by Kathryn 2 Comments

When it comes to keeping my house clean and organized, I’ve learned that having the right tools for the job can make a world of difference. And our front entryway was the perfect example of why sometimes an inexpensive product is a must-have for keeping a space neat and tidy. Our shoes and boots were taking over the small closet space inside the door and an Ohuhu 20-Pair Shoe Rack seemed like the perfect solution for keeping our shoes organized, but still accessible.

The shoe rack was compactly packaged and very simple to put together. I just inserted the bars into the plastic end pieces, hammered each connection lightly to lock the bars in place and set the rack up in the entryway. Then it was time to fill it with shoes and get our space organized!

Easy DIY Home Office Organization Makeover with HP

May 5, 2015 by Kathryn 403 Comments

Last week I shared an easy and fun kitchen organization project I created using nothing but my HP Stream 11 laptop, labels printed on my HP Envy 5530 printer and some cute mason jars.

I loved the way these simple labels not only helped me organize my kitchen but also added some personality to my décor! That’s why I decided to turn on my laptop once more and do a little more spring cleaning…this time in my home office!

My office has a tendency to get pretty disorganized, especially with all the papers and calendars I use, so my goal was to tidy it up while also making it a pretty and inspiring space.

I decided the first thing I would do is make my own file boxes by cutting old cereal boxes and covering them with fun printed paper. To keep with my spring theme, I found some flower images I liked, printed them out and then glued the pictures onto the boxes. A quick coat of spray varnish for durability and my file organizers were ready!

Easy DIY Kitchen Cupboard Organization with HP Canada

April 28, 2015 by Kathryn 24 Comments

The sun is shining, the snow is gone and warm breezes are blowing…there’s not much doubt about it; spring is finally here! And while I wish that meant nothing more than outdoor fun and games, it also means it’s time to get my house organized!

This year, HP Canada helped me tackle the goal of home organization with a new HP Stream 11 laptop and printer supplies for my HP Envy 5530 printer so that I could organize my home in style!

Because I love to cook, my kitchen tends to get quite disorganized throughout the year, so I decided to get my shelves organized by moving some of my most-used foods from their ineffective plastic packages to matched mason jars and then attaching stylish labels printed on my HP Envy printer! I grabbed bags of oat bran, cornmeal, granola, brown rice and more and got to work!

Make Organizing Your Goal in 2014 with the Simply Plan All-In-One Planner-Giveaway

January 6, 2014 by Kathryn 121 Comments

I am not a naturally organized person. In fact, for many years I was probably one of the most disorganized people imaginable. That started to change when I had kids. Keeping some sort of a routine is just a necessity when you’re a parent, like waking up early despite the fact you’re a night owl. When I started my blog, my organizational skills increased again. I do well with deadlines and so I set them for myself when running my site.

The calendar I used last year for scheduling blog posts. It worked, but I needed an upgrade!

In previous years, I used a slightly haphazard but mostly effective system for managing my website and my household. Blog posting dates were marked on a paper calendar I kept at my workstation. Payments I was expecting were marked down in a separate small notebook. Kids’ activities were listed on a separate paper calendar in the kitchen. And school activities were remembered simply because I hung the school calendars the boys brought home on the fridge.

If it wasn’t for the school’s monthly calendar, I wouldn’t know when anything happened!

Three calendars, one notebook and I was at the limit of my organizational abilities. Anything beyond that, such as meal planning or goal-setting? It just wasn’t going to happen. In fact, even using a paper calendar to record blog features was starting to become ineffective as my site got busier. Then Simply Plan, the ultimate All-In-One Planner, came to my rescue. This planner is a must-have for any busy mom. While the roomy layout of each day with plenty of space for blog organization was instantly appealing, that’s just the start of the benefits of the Simply Plan organizer!
