Organizing without Dollar Tree IS possible (I know lots of my international subscribers are jealous of budget finds in the US). I wanted to make this video to show you some of my favorite IKEA organizers. Nope, this is not a sponsored video. I bought everything with my own dollas…very unfortunately. 😉
One common trend among all these items is the color white. White = clean = crisp = a feeling of high-end (even if you didn’t spend a lot). So here are my faves.
One of YOU introduced me to this product and said it was totally awesome. After a bit of hesitation, I was down to give it a try. Does Dollar Tree Teeth Whitener work? Watch the video to find out 🙂
It’s fall y’all!
Here’s how I decorate our house for fall and a mini tour of our downstairs (plus some updates in our master bedroom). I love seeing how others are updating their homes and touring around houses. Does that make me weird?
You can find the FREE PRINTABLE here:
Here’s our new bedding. It’s out of stock at Macy’s (boo!), and the sale is over, but you can find it here, for a pretty decent price. (I always Google for current coupon codes, too to maximize my savings)
Here’s how to make the DIY Mummies:
I get messages daily from so many of you. Some of you send me pictures, some of you write me notes, and some of you are just asking advice about your new apartment, home, or space.
Some days I wish I could teleport to your house and help you organize your space (it seriously does bring me so much joy), but I don’t have the time to personally help everybody. So I wanted to make this video about what I do when I approach a space (since it applies to virtually any area I am trying to organize). My process…and how I do it on a budget. It’s not rocket science, but they are simple tricks that really are no-fail.
Besides, who knows your home and needs better than you? You are smart and you are creative! Seeing others organize always motivates me to think about my own space. And that’s the goal of this video. 🙂
Looking for under the shelf organizer featured in this video? They are less than $10. Any time I can find a quality organizing product for less than $10, I’m a happy camper. (I wish Dollar Tree had a product like this…they need to get one!)
I posted this fridge organization video, and many of you asked to see how I organize my freezer. You ask, and I try my best to make it happen!

These are my favorite fridge organization tips plus a super sweet free printable for you guys. YOU CAN SAVE SO MUCH MONEY BY FREEZING FRESH FOODS! Since we’ve purchased our chest freezer, I’ve gotten really into maximizing it’s use. Over the past couple weeks I pulled together this Freezable Foods list about what are the best items to freeze. Print it. Share it. Tack it on your fridge…er…freezer? These are just my experiences with freezing items and how they’ve worked for us. This list is by no means exhaustive, so I would love to see what works for you!
If you are looking to freeze veggies (it will change your life) check out this list from the wonderful people of Canada. (I heard Canada.) I’m not kidding. It’s my favorite one online. And I really do heart Canada and their love of Tim Hortons. <3
Learn to make knock-your-socks-off DIY cleaning wipes and keep your kitchen clean and orderly…even when cooking. (My secret weapon!)
If you are looking for some of the items featured in this video, they are linked below. Our chop block comes from Wood Welded which is a store in Michigan (my home-state). It is an extremely high quality product, and no, I am not affiliated/paid/perked to say that! The exact price depends on the size you order, but typically an item like this will set you back $50-$100. You know me, I’m CHEAP, and in my opinion, this is worth it to have a quality piece. Ours was a wedding gift and it is one we use daily.
For those of you shopping on a tighter budget or wanting to try a more affordable option before taking the plunge, check out more online options or these highly recommended options….
In this video I take you with me to Dollar Tree and show you my favorite organization products it has to offer this season (Fall 2014)…I know it’s still summer, but they are gearing up for back to school so there are lots of super-sweet scores! Woot. Seriously.
I hope you enjoy touring the store and seeing some of my new organization systems at my house (I love seeing how people end up using what they buy!)

Before we grew zucchini, I was always intimidated by having it in our garden. Like if WE tried to grow it, we would end up with some shriveled looking alien food. REALITY: It’s one of the easiest plants to grow. I talked about my zucchini obsession in my last garden video. All of our plants have started producing enough food that we haven’t bought veggies in the past 5 weeks. Hello, savings!
Just to give you an idea of the size of the zucchini yield…here is a giant zucchini… and Carson… for scale. We get about 2-3 of these a day from just 3 plants. And oodles of beans and tomatoes.
Yup. The kid was trying to eat it raw. Luna would also like to say hello.
Zucchini takes up about 4 squares of a garden using the square foot gardening method. It’s a big plant… but worth it.
OUR GARDEN ESSENTIALS
(yup, we use dollar tree buckets to gather our produce and bring it inside!)
Last year (when I was still pregnant) Char and I filmed this video about how to make your own raised bed garden on the cheap. So this is sort of like a #tbtuesday? Yay cheap, healthy things!
BEHIND THE SCENES NOTE: I was so tired when we filmed that I sat down to hold the camera for most of it. Oh first trimester…how I don’t miss you. 😉
Welcome to Doitonadime’s corner of the web!
I want this blog to be simple. Straightforward. I want to have a central location where I upload my videos but also share with you content that matters. Frequently asked questions, printables, my favorite organizing products, great deals online…all of the above. This is also a place that I can connect with each of you and share more about myself and my family.
This blog will be a blog of few words since the meat of my content is in my videos. When I read blogs, I mostly skim and go for the pictures and videos anyway. Don’t lie, you do, too 😉
So click around, explore the links up top, and let me know some things you’d like to see! This site is brand-new, so expect it to grow with time 🙂
