HOW TO DEAL WITH A MESSY SPOUSE!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

I get a lot of emails and questions for video requests from you.  And I want you to know that I have a list of all of them, and I really try to address issues that you want to hear about.  I’M SO FAR FROM PERFECT, AND MY ADVICE IS NOT THE BE-ALL-END-ALL (I mean please, lol), but when I have something on my heart, I like to pass it along to you.

This video addresses what to do when you have a messy spouse who destroys all of your organizing systems like crazy, or isn’t on board with changing your home and purging.

My approach is love and logic based (yes, that’s the teacher in me…in fact all of these tips are the same things that I do with kids, too!).  I mention in the video, this book– The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts, and I truly feel that is is applicable to not just organization, but every aspect of your relationship.  It was a “thing” a few years ago, but I truly love it so much.

So, here you go…my rambly, goofy self…

MAKE LAUNDRY EASIER!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

I loathe laundry… I feel like it never ends.  I like to have my drawers organized, though.  It’s oddly very important to me.  It stresses me out to have a disorganized drawer.

I know they sell these…

They are nifty (although expensive) contraptions–this one is called the MiracleFold— that allow you to fold your shirts perfectly.  But I have a few tricks up my sleeves that have made putting away clothes at our house a breeze. 

Here are my four favorite tips for laundry and t-shirt organization!

Quit decluttering!

by doitonadimeblog Filed Under: Organization

I know.  So unlike me.  But I’m talking about your photos.

IMG_2322There have been so many times where going through my phone, I would delete pictures to make space.  I’m sure you do it, too.  Eliminate most of those rapid-fire shots you took 80 of to get the right one.

If you have kids you know what I’m talking about 😉

We instinctively go through pictures and find smiles to save, because surely those are the moments of most joy and worth remembering.  And then we delete the photos where we aren’t looking at the camera, it was slightly out of focus, somebody was in the middle of a sneeze, or the moment wasn’t what we were intending to capture.

 IMG_2666 IMG_3793 IMG_2683

But life is made of those in-between moments.

And when strung together, they somehow capture it better than those “look over here” smiles anyway.

                               IMG_2944 IMG_3621 IMG_3108

I’m not a photographer, and I’m sure not “doing it right.”  All of these images were taken with my iPhone.  All you need.IMG_3094

IMG_2568

Today, I’m thankful that I stopped myself from hitting that delete button on these guys.  Sometimes we just move so fast and we are looking for “the shot.”  I was moments away from deleting all of them…and then I stopped and hit the black and white button 😉

DIY Drawer Dividers

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

I have always wanted some of these spring dividers from Container Store/lots of other places.  Apparently they are awesome and work really, really well… like nearly 5 stars well.  Almost anywhere I’ve looked.  Pretty darn solid.

As much as I dream about owning them one day, rather than shell out the money  (because you know you can’t just get ONE…these things are like potato chips), I decided to try my hand at making my own.  And I am so glad I did.  They were so EASY to make.  The whole process probably took me 30 minutes start to finish?  Easy peasy, and the result is awesome.

Here’s how to make them step-by-step…day by day by day….;)
