They’re far and few between because I tend to stay up late… doing laundry, reading, knitting, talking with my husband… and often my sleeps are interrupted (no wonder why … [Read more...]

organize your closet

I had a goal for December: to clean my closet. It's not that big, but when it's clean, it's enormous. Like, I could build my office in there. But, every now and then I peek in and realize that, oops. I let the stuff takeover and it's a mess again. So. I set aside an afternoon and cleaned. And then I shopped. Not for clothes, silly. I have a lot of those. But for things that would help me to keep my closet clean and organized. Quality shoe rack So, shoe racks aren't a big surprise in an … [Read more...]

I was really bummed to not attend the MomMixer two weeks ago in the Philadelphia region. But, you know, when you're neighbors, close friends and used to write for one of the hosts, she lets you slide, pities you for missing a stellar day with friends, and saves you a "swag" bag so you can feel as if you were there.

Organize your child: Color-coding and labeling school supplies

August 23, 2012 by 6 Comments

At Big's school last year, he was given 2 identical notebooks: one for spelling, one for homework assignments. On the outside, the notebooks looked exactly the same--both had only his name on the cover. For the first few weeks of school, he faced complete confusion: writing homework in his spelling book, unable to find his spelling words in his homework book, and, often, bringing home the wrong book. The first week of school, I asked if we could label one book with a title. Nervous, because … [Read more...]
