I’m on a mission to completely declutter and organize my home this year. Or at least this decade. I’m a fan of Melissa Michaels’ website, The Inspired Home, as well as the books of hers I have read. So when I had the opportunity to read and review her latest book, Simple Organizing: 5o Ways…
Domestic Dee-Va: Exercise Room Update
My project for last week was supposed to be our exercise room. Remember this? Well, it ended up being “one of those weeks”. But that’s okay. I’ll just keep plugging away at it until it’s done. I did manage to get a bunch of stuff boxed up: David and Chris just hauled it over to…

Let the organizing begin!
This is one of the closets in our exercise room. I store all our gift wrapping supplies, boxes and extra gifts here (the top shelf has the satellite box and some of David’s stuff that I don’t mess with). It was all neat and organized at one time but over the past year has drifted…
