Organize!

It's all about the organization in my house! Any tools that aid in keeping lists, making sure tasks are completed, and keeping papers off my counters are key! There is nothing worse than clutter! Even if your house is clean, it still looks unkept with loose papers and keys on the counter. Here are some inspirational photos! Put a cork board in a great spot and change the theme...get creative! Try recipes, fabric swatches for redecorating, lists for children, family reminders, a theme of the week idea, a menu board or whatever fits your life! I just added small dry erase board to the inside of one of my cabinets to jot down grocery lists. On a weekly basis I bring the erase board to my laptop and order peapod! Wha la...groceries to the front door the next day! Anything to make life easier and organized.

 Do you have recipes torn out that you've been waiting to try? Rip off the cover for some added interest! Hang them..they look super put together and so Martha!

A great way to organize mail and to do lists in a nontraditional way.

 A PB mudroom/entry way that helps keep the family organized.

I love this office space. Funny though because if you read this weekly calendar, it seems silly to have one. If only my calendar looked so leisurely!

The latest creation...an entryway cork board for my toddler who wakes up every morning and asks me, "what's today momma?". So I made a tool for organizing her activities and helping her learn the days of the week! I am also introducing the idea of chores and rewards! Saw the idea in a PB catalog and made it my own. I still need to buy a few more rulers to divide Friday/Sat/Sun.

A family menu chalkboard made for my kitchen and used for luncheons/dinner parties.

Just love this one!

Happy organizing! Spring is on it's way! What ideas do you use to keep your family organized?
