PLANNER DEAL ALERT! 2018 Happy Planner and Giveaway!

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Organization

Hey guys!  In this video I share with you an amazing deal I found yesterday at Costco!  The 365 Happy Planner, full packs of stickers and inserts, and 24 months worth of planning (that includes the rest of 2017 and all of 2018) was on sale for just $9.97.  This pack retails for $50!– that’s 80% savings.  The price would be worth it just for the extras included.  I’m not sponsored, I just spotted this deal and scooped it up!

Don’t have a Costco near you?  You can also score the planner here for $17.99.  Not as great of a deal, but still a very good deal.  (I’m loving using it!)

Where’s your latest come to Dollar Tree with me video, Kathryn?!  It’s been FOREVER since you made a shopping vlog.  Well… it’s right here!  Come with me to Dollar Tree!  Tons of new products and as always everything is always just $1.

It was a super rainy day so I decided to take advantage of not being able to go outside and having an hour of free time to shop.  This is a store walkthrough video so I’ll show you some of my favorite NEW FINDS for home organization, beauty, DIY, books, floral, and more.  You don’t want to miss this one.  Plus I’m super clumsy and almost broke something… no one is surprised.  HA ?

BEST way to freeze food and organize your deep freezer!

by Filed Under: Money Saving, Organization

Hey, guys!  It’s the first episode of #knowinwithowen ?  We show you easy quick tips that save you time and/or money, and just make life better on a budget.  In this episode we tackle how to freeze meat and other veggies.  Vacuum sealers are expensive, and freezer burn is the worst, so here’s how to store your sale meat/produce in bulk in your freezer and keep it awesome over the long haul.  I’ll also show you some incredibly simple tricks for keeping your deep freezer or inside freezer organized.  Anyone can do it and best of all it’s FREE!  Hope it helps you!  We’ve found this method works best with solid meats (chicken breasts, pork chops, steaks, etc. rather than finely minced meats or chopped meats that have a lot of air space).  Good luck!  Here’s my deep freezer!

Dollar Store Car Organization!

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

I’ve shared car organization videos every year for the past three years, but this is my first year sharing a car video with our beloved minivan which we recently got. We haven’t got to insuring it yet, but a friend of ours told us to go to somewhere like One Sure Insurance for it. Not only this, but as my kids continue growing, I’ve learned that less is more and my car stays clutter free. It’s not perfect (but it’s organized). In this video I share with you my best car organization tips for a family, but these tricks and hacks would work in any car. I shared a segment on Charlotte Today this week and it prompted me to make this video, and I hope it inspires you to try some of these simple solutions in your car! You can find the free printable here!
