Top Reasons We Avoid Organizing
I think much like exercising, organizing it easy for some, and incredibly difficult for others. I am someone who has to force myself to exercise, and I can think of a million excuses why not to workout. But if I constantly listen to all of those reasons, I'll never get the reward I desire. So I thought I'd share some common reasons (in my experience) people don't take on an organizing project, and how to overcome it.
Home Office Makeover: How to Organize Thousands of Photos
Hi guys! This is going to be a two part post because this project was so big and I don't want to bombard you with a super long post. In March, I was able to spend a week with my family in Ohio. In addition to playing games, watching basketball, and sharing cuddles with James and my nieces, I was able to tackle a project my mom had been begging me to do for some time. Pictures. And when I say pictures, I don't mean a few stacks here and some online. I mean thousands of pictures from the upbringing of four children as well as photo albums that were inherited from both sets of grandparents dating back to the 1920s. Pictures, an office and closet full of pictures.
How to Start Organizing Overwhelming Spaces
Hi!! I need to start this post with a huge THANK YOU to all of you who reached out to me after my last post. My heart was overflowing with all of the support, comfort, and encouragement you all sent my way. I cannot tell you how much it means to me.
Although I have taken a couple weeks off from blogging, I assure you, I have not stopped organizing! I've tackled a basement {not mine, of course}, prepared for a second baby {not mine, of course}, address issues in our kitchen, as well as tested out a few new slow cooker-freezer meals. Of the seven meals that I prepared, we've had three successes. I planned to have a post ready for you on that this week, however I'm going to have to hold off until I have some really good recipes and more successful dinners to share with you. But I promise, it's coming!
So instead of freezer meals, I'm going to share the recent basement organization.
