Husband & Wife DIY Team
Hi! We are a husband and wife DIY team who documents our journey of homeownership one tutorial at a time. We hope you'll follow us on our journey!
Is your pantry a disaster? Ours is about 9 times out of 10. I am also a food blogger, I cook A LOT! And that means that my itty-bitty pantry becomes a disaster in .01 seconds. Last year, I received a wide variety of OXO POP containers after winning a recipe contest on OXO's website. I choose to receive a crazy amount of POP containers to get our pantry a little more organized. Taking it a step further because after all I am a DIY blogger as well I added vinyl labels onto my … [Read more...]
It is a new year and like most people we all strive to set new goals or what some like to call resolutions. One of the many goals we have for 2013 is to add more storage to our home and get organized! Although we completed this project in 2012 I feel like adding a shelf to our kitchen island helped get us organized and ready for the new year! When I'm not working on DIY projects I'm cooking up a storm in the kitchen! You can always visit me over at Katie's Cucina! Because I blog about cooking … [Read more...]
Today, I want to talk about my favorite organizational resources. I could not live without my iPhone. This piece of technology has changed my life. Not only is it my means to verbally communicate with the world, but it's also keeps me organized. Way more organized than I've ever been in my life! I wanted to share 3 apps that I could not live without on my iPhone. I didn't feel that sharing more information about the "notes" app was needed. You simply jot notes down--but the other 3--if you … [Read more...]
I applied to participate in a Mod Podge campaign with the Blueprint Social last month, and ever since I found out I got the campaign I've been anxiously awaiting my box of goodies from Plaid Crafts. Every day for the past week I've been seeing photos of the box surface as more and more bloggers received their box. After seeing a few more photos yesterday, and pouting, because let's be honest--it's not fun when you see everyone else getting their box and you haven't gotten your box yet, I began … [Read more...]
I'm often asked how I manage so many extracurricular activities outside of my day job and my home life. For the most part I'm very organized. Being organized does not have to be a daunting task. Maybe I was just born with the skill. Lately, I've become a bit over whelmed with life in general. With work life, home life, and blog life. It's a lot of life for one person to handle, but I do it with a smile on my face daily! Today I want to talk about staying organized in the office whether this … [Read more...]
We entertain a lot. We throw dinner parties with 10 or less friends, we have our immediate and extended families over for dinner monthly, we throw themed parties (like Halloween), and we have "get togethers" just because. Ironically today, I'm co-hosting my best friends bridal shower and later tonight hosting her bachelorette party. I'm part of the Life Well Lived panel on BlogHer and wanted to share my tips on preparing for a stress-free party. We all have been there before... we are less … [Read more...]
Q: The holidays make me so anxious! How can I stay organized this year? A: Pre-planning; making list and realizing what your priorities are! Let me elaboarte. Let's face it. We are in the thick of the holiday season; T-minus 10 days until Christmas Day! I use to freak out about getting everything done and many times lost focus in what the day is really supposed to be about. With these tips and tricks I'm going to share with you I hope that the next 9 (shopping) days will be a bit less … [Read more...]
For the past 6 months we have been working on redoing our (well really, let's face it MY) craft room. I have looked at ALL things organization and a few months ago one of my favorite blogs, Smashed Peas and Carrots did a post on studio organization and mini fabric bolts. As soon as I read Maggie's post I knew this is what I needed to do in my craft room! Then, recently, I saw that Budget Wise Home who has kicked off the new year with all things organizational did a post as well. They featured … [Read more...]
