Tonight I had 5 minutes to spare after making the kids their dinner...what did I do? I cleaned out the kitchen "junk" drawer. Now I don't really consider it a "junk" drawer, it does have very specific contents, but it tends to collect a few things that don't belong. So all is back in it's place now. What would you organize in a spare 5 minutes?

Now that's a good point...

Keeping a clean, well organized pantry can save you money at the grocery store. When the pantry is in good order, it is easy to take stock of what you have so you don't purchase duplicates. Also, cleaning it out regularly will remind you to use ingredients before they expire and end up in the trash.

Now, we all know that I love to organize but I also love to clean. I enjoy reading books with techniques for the proper way to keep house. I've always been a fan of the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day products, so when I saw this book I just had to check it out.  It is an easy to read and follow manual for keeping a clean house. The chapters are broken up into rooms of the house with tips and techniques for keeping things clean and of course, organized.  Mixed in are fun stories (and some parenting tips) about the actual Mrs. Meyers and her family of 9 kids!

Happy to be back!

I took a hiatus to have our second child- but I just couldn't stay away any longer! Friends and family have inspired me to get back to work.  I'm seeing and hearing about potential projects that I have to get my hands on. So, stay tuned for organizing tips, project updates and other information for your "nest".
