Mom said it..."Make your bed"
Yep, Mom always told us to make our beds. We're just going to sleep there again tonight, so why should I bother? It takes so much work and effort to make it, too! Well, she was right - MAKE YOUR BED. Make it everyday!

Weekend inspiration: Flowers and pretty things
Just wanted to show some pretty things in my garden that have been blooming. I love living in Southern California, as we have flowers blooming much of the year. It is also quite hot here and our deck is VERY hot in the summer. I had to finally give up on putting pretty flowers on the deck because I was watering twice a day in the heat. No fun! So, I started growing succulents. I water them once a week! Oh, is that ever so nice! I also have a beautiful bougenvilla tree that is pretty heat tolerant and has beautiful blooms. So, enjoy!

Cool website and tool...
I found this really neat website a few months ago. It's called Cozi and it's a family organizing calendar. What's unique about it is that you can use the website from the internet anywhere, it also syncs up to your existing Outlook calendar, and you can even access your shopping list from your cell phone -either you can have it call you to tell you what's on your list or if you have internet you can access it. I have been finding it quite useful!

Bedroom Closet Clean up (part 2)
So, I had a little excursion to my favorite store! Yep, The Container Store. It's a world of organizing bins and systems and gadgets....my dream! I went there because I'm honestly having a little dilemma in my husband's closet and wanted to see if I could solve the dilemma.

What's for dinner?
What's for dinner? It's a funny thing that we ask ourselves (or get asked) pretty much everyday. I had the privilege of growing up with a Mom who (to this day) would sit down weekly and plan a menu for dinner for the next week.

Organize Your Bedroom Closet - some inspiration this weekend!
Need some inspiration to clean out your closet? Check out this link on how you can organize.

Here's a few more pictures to keep you inspired...we'll go over some more ways soon!
I love this closet because it's typical of an entry closet. But, notice that they cut the pole in half and added shelving and then hooks on the back of the closet door. Over the door hooks

Hooked on Hooks!
So, I'm looking around my house while I was cleaning and thought - "hey, I've got a lot of stuff on hooks!" So, I guess, without even realizing it, I've really come to rely on hooks! Let me show you:

Weekend inspiration in the garden
Well, here is some more from my parents' house. My mom's garden is beautiful! I grew up in San Jose, CA but my parents moved down to Santa Maria in 2000 and have created an equally beautiful garden there! I grew up with a good sized yard - for California - where my mom had a beautiful rose garden, a shed covered in a climbing rose, a gazebo that my dad built just before my sister had her wedding reception, and a gorgeous wood deck off the back patio with a roof covered in wisteria! So, when they moved to Santa Maria, they basically had to start all over again. Well, they've done it! Here are some pictures to prove it!
Here is the view out their back window onto their u-shaped patio - in Santa Maria they get winds every afternoon, cold winds. So the u-shaped patio helps to buffer that cold each day.

Clutter, clutter, clutter
Clutter....it's a very scary word! It's one of those words that we all know what it is, even kids know! We all have it in our houses, too! Everyone has at least one area, AT LEAST - where clutter lurks. It's not that clutter is so bad, it's just annoying. Well, for most of us it's annoying.
