If you ask my husband what one thing he'd change about me, it's my system (or lack thereof) of organization. I always start the new year out by ridding our home of things I haven't looked at over the past year and gaining some semblance of order. Typically, come spring time, I'm still working on this particular resolution. In an effort to shorten that interval, I'... Read More »

Just when I reached that point where I could leave the house without a diaper bag, my daughter was born. It's been 3 1/2 years and my designer purse is sitting in my closet gathering dust from lack of use. Fortunately, today's moms have much in the way fashionably functional o... Read More »

Before I had children, it wasn't uncommon to find me at our local mall at least once a week. While I enjoy the hands on experience of shopping at a store, nothing beats the convenience of shopping from the comfort of my home at any time of the day or night.
Just in time for the holidays, Rightcliq by Visa will revolutionize your online shopping experience. With... Read More »

In my three + years of being a mom, I've owned at least 5 diaper bags. Some have been used until they've fallen apart (literally). Others are gathering dust in my closet because they were not practical or functional for toting around everything necessary for a baby and a toddler.
Clic-It is a diaper bag system that makes it easy to organize the things you need fo... Read More »

By the time I picked up my son from preschool today, it was dark. We literally had an hour and half to do dinner, stories, and bedtime. This weekend (November 7th) we "fall back" and I always feel like their are less hours in the day during this season. As a busy, working mom, time management is always my struggle.

My husband would tell you that if there was one thing he could change about his wife, it would be her lack of organization. Despite my lists, I still struggle to stay organized and I'm always open to new technology aimed towards making my life a bit easier.
Over the years, I've... Read More »

My son spit up way past the six month mark when experts told me it should have stopped. If I had known then, what I know now, I would have realized it was likely due to an allergy. But because I never thought to even suspect allergies, I never kept track of the foods he ate. He's 2 1/2 and last week we finished up his allergy tests (we're just waiting on the re... Read More »

If you remember from some of my earlier posts, one of my "resolutions" for 2010 is to get organized. My goal is to go paperless and eliminate the things in our household that are not being used and taking up space. I can list off projects in each room that I'd love to accomplish this year. While our house is in no way "small," I definitely find it challenging to... Read More »

Organization is the process of eliminating the excess and finding a place for everything...Stacey Crew
If you ask my husband on any given day what he would really like from me...it's to be organized. I have always struggled with organization, and having children has only complicated this. I am not one to make New Year's resolutions, but organization is something ... Read More »

I don't tend to make a lot of New Year's resolutions, but I have two in mind for this year. The first is to lose the baby weight for good. The second? To get organized! For some reason I struggle immensely with organization. Whether it be my fridge, my desk, or my children's important paperwork, organization for me is a struggle. And now that we have 2 chi...

I am busy! I work part-time as a nurse and full time as a wife and mom to a very active toddler! We're thinking of adding another one into the mix and I can't imagine how I'm going to keep everything straight. I am the type of person that needs to write everything down or it gets forgotten. My husband, on the other hand, works better with online calendars which... Read More »

As a nurse and a parent, I've accumulated more papers than I can keep track of. I clip magazine articles from nursing and parenting magazines, save all of my old nursing files, and generally just have a lot of paper clutter that must vacate my house! When I started my cleaning spree at the beginning of March, one of my goals was to reduce the paper clutter in my... Read More »

I wish I could tell you that I am a neat freak. My husband wishes he could tell you I'm a neat freak. I wasn't even a neat freak before we had my son, so you can imagine how organized (or unorganized) this full-time mom, wife, and nurse is. My in-laws are coming in abou... Read More »

I am an organizational mess! My husband often complains about how unorganized I am. The worst by far is my paper mess. Because I'm a nurse, I have a ton of magazines and continuing education literature that have to be kept for licensing purposes. But it d... Read More »

There are a TON of social network sites these days. From MySpace to Facebook to Twitter ...I honestly can't keep up with all of them. I am not the most internet-savvy gal on the block, but even I was able to figure out Qlubb...the latest web-based group utility that allows any social group (i.e. play groups, sports teams, book clubs) to connect and share infor...

Don't Agonize. Organize. - Florynce Kennedy
I'm am the queen of lists. I have more to-do lists than I have time "to do!" It sounds really great and organized...all of these "to-do" lists. Before you go patting me on the pack, I must confess that these "lists" are usually scrunched up pieces of paper, old receipts, and envelopes that I've scribbled randomness... Read More »
