Weekend Wrap Up

Hi! Happy Friday!

Weekend Reading

This week was such a slog for me.

One by one it feels like every appliance is on the fritz (or fully broken) in our home!

It’s almost comical, but it’s also super inconvenient and expensive…

Anyway, enough whining – finding this week’s links provided a great distraction for me.

Hope you love them!

Have a great one!

Since then, Emily has helped me with so many organizational projects in my home.

For example, check out my organized pantry!

Hi!
As a professional organizer, I definitely have more of a minimalist mindset.
I really don’t buy things on a whim and I try to be thoughtful of the products I bring into my home as well as my clients’ homes.
As a result, I do my best to make sure the items are useful, are visually appealing and will stand the test of time.

The best Amazon finds to get your home organized:

Here’s a roundup of all my favorite Amazon organizing finds that we use in all our projects.
If you’ve been following me (here!) you probably know that my favorite tool is the Lazy Susan.
Firstly, we LOVE most Lazy Susans, but our favorites are the clear ones.
These are great for holding oils, vinegar, tea bags and spices in kitchen cabinets.
Likewise, they’re also great in bathroom closets for daily morning items like hair accessories, medicine or makeup organization.
We use them in playrooms for arts and crafts, under the kitchen sink for sponges, cleaners, etc. and just about any other room in the home you can think of.
Here are some of our favorites:

Door room decor and essentials for college.

Dorm life has come a long way from the plastic milk crates and wipe off memo boards that I remember from my own college life experience.

Although, I will say, most dorm rooms are still the same small spaces I remember.

I first posted this round up of door room decor, essentials and school supplies several years ago!

Before I even had kids in college, the original round up was done with the help of our former babysitter.

Now that I have my own college students, I’ve updated this post dramatically!
