Classy purse organization - and a giveaway!

For most of us, our purse is something we must have with us - pretty much all the time! So, when Purse Pod came to me with their beautiful product, I thought it was a great match!

Organized Reader: Master closet

It is so fun to be able to share with you how "regular" OMF readers are organizing their spaces! I recently put out a call and asked many of you on Facebook whether you had an organized space you'd like to share!

It's OK to NOT plan everything -- why worry!

Having a schedule is top on my priority list. But, even I know that you just can't PLAN everything. Sometimes it's best just to "go with the flow" - toss out your planner for the time being - and let things happen!

House Tour - Professional style

I was recently approached by a local real estate agent - not to sell my house - but to take pictures of my house for his brochure/pamphlet. The bonus? He hired a professional photographer to come to my house and take pictures and I get to have all the copies! So, I thought I'd share them with you. A mini-tour of my home!

I Work Everywhere!

{This post is sponsored by Office Depot and I get to share with you the fun things I do with their products}

As a blogger I {literally} work EVERYWHERE. It's a blessing and a curse. I'm so thankful that I get to work from home, from my van, from the doctor's office, from the car wash....well, you get the idea. So, I carry my laptop EVERYWHERE so I can work here and there and whenever I have a spare moment.

How Pinterest can help you get more out of your closet!

This summer I seemed to get into a fashion rut! You know the kind - you look in your closet and you say "Oh, I have NOTHING to wear" and yet you have a closet FULL of clothes. It wasn't like I needed anything. I have plenty of clothes and I try to stay "fairly" current in my wardrobe - outlets, clearance centers, and thrift stores are my main source of purchasing nice clothing at cheap prices!

Giving to the needy - and giving from your abundance

How many times a week, month, or year do you go around your house looking for things to get rid of? Well, you should do it - and you should do it often! Giving to the needy out of our own abundance is an important part of our family's values. You don't have to be rich to give something. You simply have to have the desire.

Kitchen Update: Organizing cookbooks and recipes

I'm not going to pretend that my kitchen isn't fancy. In pictures, it looks much nicer than up close! But, I can't complain - we've done a lot to update it since we first moved into our home. It was a teeny, tiny kitchen for many years. Then, my husband and I knocked down the wall and got rid of our dining room so we could expand the kitchen! It made a huge difference. I painted all the cabinets {even if they aren't very well made}, we got some new stainless steel appliances last fall, and a brand new vinyl floor - which I LOVE! The lack of counter-space has always been an issue. So, I painted a buffet and put some pretty remnant marble on top to provide more counter-space!
