Everybody loves a good, old-fashioned nosy house tour! I know I do. My mom bought her condo about 15 minutes from us last November, and she is wrapping up on renovations. I’m so excited that she wanted to share her place with you.
Enjoy a casual vlog…house tour style!
Here’s how I took $10 worth of supplies to create a beautiful spring wreath. We are just loving it. These retails for hundreds brand new!
Supplies:
Total: $9!

My friend Sarah has always been such a dear, sweet part of my life. We have seen each other through some of the most joyous and challenging seasons of life, and I was so excited when Family Dollar and P&G partnered with me to spread the love to her, allowing me to completely makeover her master bedroom and bathroom (and give it a good Spring clean!).
I was quite impressed with the home decor selection at Family Dollar, and I was able to tackle everything for just $75. I love that you can find genuinely low prices on Spring-cleaning stables like Bounty, Gain and Febreze. (Plus you can stack coupons on top of the discounts for even more savings.)
Come see her reaction to the changes. She had no idea what I was up to in there…so everything was a complete surprise! Don’t forget to enter the giveaway below to win a $50 Family Dollar Gift card AND a box of P&G cleaning products. Woot! 🙂

I partnered with Family Dollar and P&G to surprise Sarah with this makeover and spring cleaning. As always, all opinions are genuinely my own.*
My friend Nikki from AtHomeWithNikki inspired me several years ago with her spring cleaning box.
The idea is writing down simple tasks you need to do to spring clean your home (not the daily/weekly tasks that are a part of your normal routine, but those extra things that you always forget to do). Like scrub your front door, deep clean your oven, and get all those dust bunnies out from under the fridge. As Carson would say, “Peeeyewww!” If you don’t end up getting around to having as deep of a clean as you’d like, consider hiring services similar to carpet cleaning in Melbourne to help make your home pristine.
I didn’t want to re-invent the wheel, so I just used this list to guide me and then created my own little box of cleaning chores.

I heart thrifting. It boggles my mind that people pay full price for organization tools that they could easily upcycle from the thrift store for a quarter the cost. It takes a small investment of time, but in less than 20 minutes, you can create stunning organizers and systems on a budget, using commonly found thrifted items! I find organizing opportunities at the thrift store ALL THE TIME. You can see my video on ways to organize from the Goodwill here.
One of my favorite trends of the moment are matte chalk paints. Plaid sent me a sampling of their paints and paint tools to review and give my genuine opinion about. They come in an array of colors and they are so easy to use! I kind of want to paint everything now. <3 Here are two simple organizers I was able to upcycle in a matter of minutes. Don’t forget to enter to win your own gift basket from Plaid below!
You can visit PlaidOnline.com for more tips, tricks, tutorials and ideas to create your own upcycled creations. Mother Earth and your home will thank you 😉

This month I’m partnering with Family Dollar and P&G for their spring clean-up program! They’ll be four giveaways throughout this month: each giveaway contains a $50 Family Dollar Gift Card and a spring cleaning product gift set from P&G to help you get your home ready for spring with products like Bounty, Gain, and Febreze!
Family Dollar has really cute home decor! I can’t wait to share with you guys what I’ve been working on at my friend Sarah’s house to surprise her with a makeover and spring cleaning! (If you follow me on Instagram you know that her bedroom and bathroom are getting a makeover…video to come later this week!)
I really like working with Family Dollar because their prices are low and backed by their Ad-match promise. Plus, stack that with cleaning product coupons from their website, and you can score some killer deals!

I”m all about sharing with you guys what works. And I tend to get a lot of the same questions over and over about organizing. If you have taken the time to write me a note or email, THANK YOU! The top questions you ask me are: how do I get started organizing, how do I beat procrastination, what do I do if I don’t live near a Dollar Store, why can’t I stay organized even when I try, and what label maker
So, I answer all of those questions and give my best, practical advice in this video. Not the “magazine tips” but the real deal. Things that I know work. Why? ‘Cause I’ve tried ’em!
Recently I partnered with AtticMaxx to review their Attic Storage System with all of you.
The winner is announced the video below! Also, AtticMaxx would like to extend the offer that for every 8 Truss Shelves purchased from their website, they would like to give you a $15 Giftcard to the Dollar Tree! Just enter the code DIMEDEAL at checkout.
Here are some of my favorite products for organizing at the Dollar Tree right now…great for use with that gift card 😉 Yay organizing!
I love sharing recipes with you guys. I know most you come to my blog and channel for organizing videos, but this is probably one of my favorite recipes of all time. It hits all the boxes: budget-conscious, healthy, and NO CLEAN-UP. Okay, so let’s be real, the no-clean up part is what makes you most excited. Yeah, me too ;).

Please share with me if you try it! Come follow me on Instagram and join the party!
P.S. Don’t like Tilapia? Try this recipe with salmon or scallops!
It’s been FREEZING and rainy here. Carson loves playing outside, so over the past couple of weeks, we have gotten creative inside to keep him busy. I love creative play on a budget that doesn’t require a lot of work or prep on my end. Clean-up is always the worst…It’s hard enough trying to keep a house in order, let alone cleaning up after a messy craft!
We always ground our play activities in a thematically appropriate book (you can hear more about that here), and these have been our two favorites over the last couple of weeks: Ernest and Celestine – The Picnic
Here’s how we’ve been having independent fun. As always, make sure that what we are doing in our house is safe and age-appropriate for your child. Independent play is always supervised 🙂
