I’m a huge advocate for budgeting because I’ve seen first-hand how living within a budget helps us to simplify and organize our lives (not to mention stay out of debt).
And today, I’d like to talk a little bit more about budgeting — but this time, I’m going to focus on creating and using a budget to manage your space.
Now that it’s October, I feel like I can {and should} start thinking and planning for Christmas — specifically Christmas gifts.
This past weekend, I spent about 10 minutes making a Gift List and a Wish List — I do this every year and I’m always amazed by how these lists help me to simplify the holiday season.
Over the past few months, I’ve gotten tons of emails and questions asking about what appliances we purchased for our kitchen renovation, where we purchased them, what features we were looking for in appliances, etc. etc.
So since the appliances are finally here, and since I’ve been able to test them out for the past week or so, I figured I it was time for me to share a bit more about them.
In our first house, we had a grand total of THREE drawers in our kitchen. They were all extremely shallow so hardly anything fit in them. In our new kitchen, we have TEN drawers — and you better believe they are all big, deep, and wide enough to organize all our kitchen goodies!
Today, I’m sharing pictures of our new kitchen drawers — as well as all the different tools I’m using to keep them organized.

However, since our kitchen isn’t ready for cooking or baking just yet, I figured I’d share a bunch of delicious pumpkin recipes from around the web… all in one nice, organized spot for you 🙂
It’s THAT time of year when everyone is looking for volunteers, committee members, etc. etc. If you haven’t been bombarded with these requests yet, it’s bound to happen some time in the next month.

Did you ever notice that simple, organized living isn’t necessarily the easiest thing to achieve? It takes discipline, diligence, and determination to create a simple, more organized life/home/office/etc. But it’s worth it!
Today I’m sharing some of my thoughts on simple, organized living… and I’d love to hear what you think.
Now that your kids/grandkids are back in school, there’s a pretty good chance your home is about to be inundated with lots of artwork, projects, and special drawings that you just HAVE to save forever and ever! Right?
Wrong! If you’re looking for ways to display your kid’s artwork and reclaim your fridge, here are 7 “off the fridge” ideas to get you thinking.
Dave and I both hate feeling rushed, we hate being late, we hate forgetting anything, and we hate being unprepared… so we’ve always been huge advocates for planning our mornings the night before.
And thanks to a brand new (programmable) coffeemaker from Hamilton Beach, our morning routine is just THAT much simpler!
