Beautify Your Office Space – Simple Solutions
This post contains sponsored content. Though it can be challenging to work from your home (think dog barking at the squirrels teasing him from the tree’s, to your .child wanting to show you their latest Minecraft creation on Xbox to husband wanting to know what’s for dinner – all while trying to work), truly, I am thankful that my job allows me to work from home. But whether you work from home or at an office, there are ways to beautify your work space. This is where the magic happens right so why not make it a nice place to come to every day! Here are some simple solutions…

The New Information Gap Catching Couples and Singles Off-Guard
Photo courtesy of Flickr Dandelion Moms creator, Melissa Northway, and I have known each other for a few years, having met through our work as storybook app authors who have a soft spot for pirate adventure. When we touched base recently, we learned we have something even more important in common, we’re both committed to protecting our families and having things in order. This year, Melissa lost her dear father and has had her hands full helping her mother sort out the logistics that followed his passing. She shared with me that her father handled most things about her parents’ household, so the learning curve was steep for her Mom.…

Creating Traditions: Family Movie Night Ideas and Recipes
Back-to-school means back-to-routine, and for many families that routine used to include pizza and a movie on Friday night. But with busy days and busier nights on the horizon, chock-full of homework, sports practice, PTA meetings and play dates, why limit family time to just Fridays? Create a new family tradition this school year, using Netflix’s list of family-friendly titles as a starting point. Whether you stick to Friday night pizza and a movie or bring everyone together for Tuesday Night TV Time, it’s easy to create family memories with Netflix as there are so many options available! My daughter is enjoying all the episodes of Disney’s Jesse…

Day 11 :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days: Master Bedroom
How are you doing in our Home Challenge where we are working at de-cluttering and redecorated our homes in 28 days? You can jump in any day you want, and don’t worry if you skip a day or two. This isn’t a contest – just a communal effort on all our behalf. I have needed to get our place de-cluttered for some time now as we had/have too much stuff! I am not quite that bad where I need to be on that hoarders show (well, maybe you should see my garage first before you decide that), but it was a matter of things kept coming in…

Day 10 :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days: Linen Closet
Oh joy! Decluttering the linen closet in our house was long overdue! Can you believe I am literally airing my dirty (well, the linens were clean but you get my drift) laundry on the site?

Here are some steps I took and ones I read from the declutter masters on what to do when clearing out your linen closet. Here we go! Step One: Make Space. Clear off your bed…

Day Nine :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
It has been a few days since my last declutter/organize your home post because, well, I’ve been decluttering, and then some more decluttering. Boy am I pooped! But taking it day by day, step by step, I do see some light at the end of the tunnel. So don’t fret – if you are just starting at Day One (our front porch) jump in when you can! My daughter recently turned eight and wanted to get a bigger girl room. She even requested a new paint job (all white with one wall painted an apple green) which we may come to next year, but for now, my goal…
