NO ONE CARES! {Organizing Motivation}

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

Here’s the side of the camera you don’t often get to see but I think is so important to share.  None of us have a perfect home…not even “professional organizers.”  You are an authentic friend and person because of who you are and how you treat others, not because of what your house looks like.  No one cares as much as you think they do.  Not even me…and I do this for a living. 😉  Here’s my take on what realistic organizing actually looks like and why I think you are doing a great job.  Organizing is important, but we can all drop the perfection part.  Especially when there are some beautiful kids running around.

BEST Dollar Tree Toy: Giant bubble maker!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Teaching

I’m a huge fan of the learning resources at the Dollar Tree, but I don’t usually buy toys.  However, when I spotted the giant bubble maker wand, I just had to pop it in my cart, and I’m so glad we did!  It’s just as good as the DIY version, and no DIY or much cost involved.  Here’s our review of this awesome product!  You definitely have to try it 🙂

2nd trimester recap!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs

Is my second trimester already over?  With the second baby, things seem a whole lot different this go around.  In this video I cover my labor fears, struggles and joys of those middle months, and my maternity photo shoot (outside of my comfort zone but so glad I did it!) Also, a little cameo from Carson!

If you are in the Charlotte, NC area, you can see more work from my photographer (and good friend) here.  She’s awesome!

Are you a hoarder?

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

In this declutter vlog I share the 3 things that many people hold on to that they don’t actually need.  Why?  These items are so easy to accumulate and we feel wasteful getting rid of them.   But in reality, they are actually turning to clutter and making organizing our homes more difficult.  We save them because we think we need them, but we are in turn making spaces we could truly love a chaotic mess.  Happy spring cleaning and I hope you find the motivation you need to PURGE & DECLUTTER!!

What’s in Carson’s Easter Basket?

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Teaching

Every year I like to share a short clip about how we are celebrating Easter.  It’s a casual year at home (no travel thankfully!), and I spent under $15 on Carson’s basket.  I shopped primarily at Five Below and Dollar Tree for a few simple toys and learning activities I know he is going to love.

I was also really excited to use our Resurrection Eggs for the first time.  If you haven’t heard of these, they tell the Biblical story of Easter.  Kids find eggs and each one contains a small trinket about each part of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ.

Take a look at our Easter celebration!

First Five Below Haul!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

I’d never been to a Five Below, and we had the grand opening of one in our area.  In fact, YOU, my subscribers and readers, were the first to tell me about this budget paradise!

If you aren’t familiar with this chain, ever item is $5 and under.  During my first shopping trip, I found lots of organizing tools that won’t break the bank.  While not everything is worth your time, there are a considerable amount of items that are well worth the price tag.  In fact, they are much cheaper than you would pay retail.  Five Below has lots to offer, so here’s my first haul and how I used the items to get organized.

VLOG | How to make slime!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs, Teaching

Come spend the afternoon with us in this casual video and learn our favorite recipe for making slime with your kiddos (see below).  We head to the store and chat about great buys at Target and the Dollar Tree.  And new mascara.  You know, all the fun, girly things.

***Recipe for SLIME!***
1 cup white glue
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup hot water
1.5 to 2 Tablespoons Borax (found in the laundry aisle)
Food coloring (about 5 or 6 drops of green gives you the pretty turquoise color!)

Mix the water and food coloring. Pour over glue in a bowl. Stir. Add hot water and Borax. Stir and knead until it becomes slime. This will take about 10 minutes (or at least it did for us). It keeps absorbing more and more water until it is one mass!

Pottery Barn Decor from Dollar Store!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree

I get fired up about an awesome DIY, but I simultaneously loathe the majority of “crafting.”  Often times, there are just too many steps to create something worthwhile.  And half the time I end up with a pin-fail.  #notwinning  So, here are four inexpensive DIYS (that you can complete in under 10 minutes) that ANYONE can do.  Even if you don’t have a crafty bone in your body.  And they will still look amazing.

First I show you how to make the “Eagan” mirror, from Pottery Barn that retails for $300 for less than $30.  Then we’ll walk through how to make a beautiful Kate Spade- inspired gold vase, create inexpensive flower arrangements and plants from the Dollar Tree, and finally, a DIY burlap wreath.  All of these simple DIYs are $10 and under.  Yay for that!

 

Looking for more?  Here are more Pottery Barn Dupes and how to make a mirror planter!
