I’ve tried organizing our Legos in a dozen different ways INCLUDING the insane method of keeping all the sets separated. That didn’t work. The only thing that has worked for us is to sort Legos by color. It’s genius. I resisted for a long time because I didn’t want all the sets mixed up! But keeping the … Read more
We are gearing up for our first year of homeschooling and I’m excited! I’ve been getting all my curriculum and supplies organized and I realized that our home library needed an overhaul. So I created some labels to help us (even my pre-readers) keep our library organized and also to make finding books by topic … Read more
I’m a container person. And I love these two, particularly for game closet stuff. You know, like games. And stuff. My first favorite is probably first because it’s $1. And it has a flip top lid, which means the lid never gets lost! I love flip top lids. I’ve been buying a few of these … Read more

After getting the big stuff for our newly furnished office, we built more shelves in the closet for more craft and office supplies. I needed more shelf space for all the little stuff that needed to be separated and organized in small containers. I use the same three containers to store most everything – 2.5 … Read more
Pin It During this last pregnancy, I spent my nesting months reorganizing, dejunking, and shopping for space efficient and functional furniture. Thank you, IKEA. We live in a 25 year old town home with smallish rooms (some of which are in desperate need of updating, my craft room/office included…new carpet coming hopefully next month!) I … Read more
