How to Re-Organize…anything!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization, Teaching

Here’s a quick organizing refresh we did in our built-ins.  Keeping an organized home isn’t a one and done.  It’s an evolution of crafting and re-working an environment that functions best for your family as your needs change.

Here’s how we organize our DVDS, toys, and games in a new system that is now beneficial for our family!

Dollar Tree Fall Haul and DIYs

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Decor & Furniture, DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Holiday

This year was the first that I was truly disappointed in the fall section at Dollar Tree (if I’m being totally honest). It was underwhelming and stocked with droves of chitzy stuff that seemed a waste of a dollar. FEAR NOT! That makes for a great opportunity to create your own gorgeous fall decor. While standing alone these items are nothing to write home about, together with a bit of glam-factor, they can be a beautiful addition to your home (or kitchen! or hair-styling routine!)

In this video I share with you some easy fall projects… plus some tried and true staples that are definitely worth a purchase. I’m so excited for this season and some cooler weather!

Looking for Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint? Yes, it’s expensive everywhere, but a little bit goes a long, long way!

KITCHEN CUPBOARD ORGANIZATION | Cheap and Free

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

Organizing the kitchen can seem like a daunting and expensive task.  Here’s how, using less than $10, I organized our baking cabinet above the stove.

My biggest secrets when organizing are to…

  1. Re-purpose old containers.  I love the pretzel pillows from my grocery store, and when they go on sale, I buy a few, and I know I can re-use the container after we eat them.  TIP: To remove labels, use rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, or vinegar.  Let soak using a paper towel.
  2. Stick with one color scheme.  When working with a tiny budget, things have a tendency to get a little Hodge-podgy.  In this project I suck with black and white, so it really created a dramatic effect for little money
  3. Shop the Dollar Tree!  The chalkboard labels, chalk pen, and containers we from the Dollar Store
  4. Use double-duty organizers.  My “risers” in the cabinets are also helpful storage.
  5. Shop Garage Sales (now’s the season!).  Storage containers can always be found at these.  I see them at so many sales!

Teacher Work Bag and Organization

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Teaching


It’s back to school season! Where has the time gone? Lots of you ask to see teacher organization videos, and while I don’t have a classroom (I am a “floating” teacher), I wanted to shared with you my two favorite teacher systems for staying organized!

In this video I share with you some of my favorite back to school tips, best Dollar Tree finds for teachers, what to do with absent work (and how to keep it organized) and my teacher work-bag. These are my school staples, and you’ll see why I love them so much.

Even if you aren’t a teacher, I hope you find these tips helpful!

Japanese Dollar Store | Daiso Store Tour

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Organization

When I was in California for VidCon and to visit family, I was eagerly anticipating dropping by Diaso– the largest Japanese Dollar Store.  It’s a colorful and cheerful budget-friendly haven with a massive (and I do mean MASSIVE) selection of food, housewares, organizers, office supplies, crafting supplies, and more.  To add the icing on the cake, everything in the store is just $1.50 (unless otherwise marked).  Talk about complete marketing brilliance!  Sold!  Get me another suitcase!

After hearing from so many of you and I would be head over heels in love with this place, I took some of my vacation time to tour it.  And because I’m crazy and love this sort of thing, it was a definite highlight of my time in Cali.  I visited with my Aunt Karen, and she loved it just as much as I did.  I feel like there were so many items I didn’t get the chance to film, but there were lots of highlights (namely the incredible organizing sections) that made this trip warrant at 8 minute + video.  Hold on to your hats and don’t look away…or you might miss something. 😉

If you are looking for a Daiso near you, you can check out their website.  They have locations in California, Washington, (and recently, Texas) in the US.  But they are also in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and lots of other countries as well.

I’m definitely team “bring Diaso to the East Coast.”  Who’s with me?
