Getting organized is full-time work, not something we do sometimes. If you make a habit of putting things in their space each day, you’ll be less overwhelmed and pretty organized.
It’s kind of like getting everyone in your household on board with putting something in the dishwasher when they use it. Drives you crazy…right? Hang clothes when you take them off, put those gorgeous...

Sharing a Thanksgiving Place card Idea
Thanksgiving is only two weeks away and so is one of my favorite things to do as I get ready for my guests…setting the table. Last year, I wanted my Thanksgiving table to feel like a fall harvest.

Farewell Steve Jobs
I couldn’t say it any better than this… A wise man once said, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the...
