Organizational Sunday Week #1

coat closet organization

Heather says:

This week you’ll need to repurpose or buy two containers, the type of containers will depend on two things, your budget and space. Personally, I like the big 66 quart totes (don’t buy these, this is just so you can see what I am trying to describe).… Keep reading...

A Rare Home-Ec 101 Product Review: The Red Oak Trunk Organizer

September 29, 2016 By Heather Solos 2 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says: 

I haven’t done many product reviews in the last couple of years. I don’t like to commit to something if I’m unsure of how I’ll feel about it, I also don’t like the sense of obligation or the worry that someone will disagree with my opinion.… Keep reading...

Can you believe we’re halfway through the year? Last week we organized the outdoor toys and made sure we had everything needed for outdoor fun.

This week it’s time to clean out inside the car. If you don’t have a vehicle, revisit a challenge you may have missed from earlier in the year. … Keep reading...

Organizational Sunday Week #25 – Outdoor Toys

June 19, 2016 By Heather Solos 1 Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

School is out and it's time to play outside. Time to organize the outdoor toys and gear.

Heather says:

In most of the country, school is out or soon will be out for the summer. Unlike January where everyone is adding layers, mittens, and coats, now we’re applying sunscreen and bug spray. 

Today’s mission:

Find a place for all of your: “We’re heading into the great outdoors” necessities.… Keep reading...

Organizational Sunday Challenge Week #24 | Under The Bed

June 12, 2016 By Heather Solos Leave a Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Today's challenge was / is to clean out under the bed.

Heather says:

This has been edited in light of the current tragedy.

I don’t know the right words on days like today. I think about what keeps me going:

“We are called to the light we are given.”

I think about the phrase “be the light” and I think about  the mother of Mr.… Keep reading...

Organize Dresser | Organizational Sunday Challenge Week #23

Heather says

This week’s challenge is still in the bedroom, your goal is to clear off the dresser / organize dresser.

Organize The Nightstand | Organizational Sunday Challenge Week #22

May 29, 2016 By Heather Solos 1 Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

This week your mission is to clear and organize the nightstand(s). I've a good tip for parents of children with multiple devices.

Heather says:

We’ve spent the last two —figurative, I hope— weeks in the bathroom. This week, we’re going to begin organizing the bedroom(s). If you have older kids, you may wish to tell them to get started on their own rooms. If you have young children, you’ll want to lend a hand to ensure the mess doesn’t just get moved from one spot to the other.… Keep reading...

Organizational Sunday Challenge Week #21

May 22, 2016 By Heather Solos Leave a Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

This week, we’re heading right back into the bathroom. This time, instead of focusing on the vanity, we’ll be focusing on hair and body products.

Are all of the open shampoos, conditioners, body washes, etc. in active use? If you don’t like the one that you’ve opened, and it’s just hanging out in the bathroom waiting to develop that lovely pink scum, do something about it and get rid of it.… Keep reading...

Heather says

Today we’re going to the bathroom.

Okay, well, umm, I hope that is something that happens every day or that you and your gastroenterologist have had long, heartfelt conversations and are comfortable with things. 

Today when you enter your bathroom you are going to take a long, hard look at your vanity.… Keep reading...

This week’s challenge will be done mostly online unless you don’t use online banking. In that case, you’ll need to grab your bank statement.

Look through your last few statements and look for recurring items.

Heather says,

The effort involved in this week’s challenge will depend on your pack rat tendencies. This week’s goal is to get rid of excess magazines and books that no, you are not going to read. 

The Friends of the Library is a great place to donate old books and quality magazines, like National Geographic.… Keep reading...

Heather says

Just pretend this organizational challenge is an elevator, there is no 13th floor. Last week was Easter and it felt, to me, a bit inappropriate to mail out a challenge. 

So here we are in April, if you’re in the US it is tax season.… Keep reading...
