Spring is in the air...
I heard on the news this morning that the famous groundhogs, Shubenacadie Sam and Punxsutawney Phil, did not see their shadows this morning which tells us we will have an early spring. Tell me your thoughts on this folk lore.
With spring comes spring cleaning, the dreaded time when we all feel the need to purge and cleanse our homes. However, if you make this a fun family event (I know I am pushing the limit on the "fun") but it can be fun. Go through the boxes you have pushed aside and decide how important those boxed items are.
What I like to do with some things that I want but don't really want to keep, is take a photo and put it in a scrapbook. For those scrapbookers out there, you could create a themed album titled "memories" or "boxed but not forgotten"
Take it one box at a time, one drawer at a time, one room at a time. Don't overload yourself too quickly because you will become frustrated and want to give up.
For more tips check back often, as I will be doing my spring cleaning with you.
To organization...

Happy New Year
The Holiday season is over again, by now most of you are thinking about packing away the Christmas decorations and setting your rooms back to "normal". Or you have done it already or you are procrastinating at the thought of having to organize your stuff.
It is not that bad, really...it just takes a little bit of time and thought. I have large rubbermaid bins which are labelled with what and where. One box, for example, is just for the decorations, lights, extension cords etc for the Christmas tree. I do this especially because I do not need that box until we get our tree, where the other boxes have already been down and opened to decorate the rest of the house.
It is not hard to arrange, but it can take some time.
I urge you to take the time, but if you need help then please call for help.
I wish you a wonderful new year full of organizing and peace.

Christmas visitors
Do you have family coming to visit for the holidays? Hosting a holiday party?
With so much to get ready for sometimes we feel rushed and out of control when it comes to preparing for our guests. But it does not have to be that way.
Here are a couple of tips to help during the holidays:
1. crockpot recipes are fabulous for easy dinners, pop in all the ingredients in the morning and dinner is ready when you are.
2. frozen entrees work too, go to M&M's ( http://www.mmmeatshops.com/ )
3. bake sales, cookie exchanges and the bakery for various fresh ideas
4. fluff up the pillows before you go to work
5. light candles and put on the fireplace
But most of all enjoy the holiday season, it does not have to be designer perfect.
Happy Holidays from

Simple ideas to decorate your home for the holidays
Tuesday, November 30, 2010
Christmas is in the air...
are you ready for the Christmas season? Do you have more decorations than you know what to do with? Do you have a plan for where you want to place that special antique snowman or do you just put where ever? And what do you do with the rest of your things while Christmas is on display?
I have a few tips to help you decide:
Tip #1
Make up a plan, even if it is in your mind or a picture, I like to use ideas from http://www.bhg.com/
Tip #2
Bring out all your decorations and ornaments, do you have a collection of items? I personally love snowmen, put your collections together.
Tip #3
I like simple or as my motto is "less is more"...whatever your style is have an ongoing theme or flow.
Tip #4
Use lots of lights and garland, I love sitting in the evening with my mini lights on and quiet music in the background, very relaxing.
Tip #5
Decorate all over the house, even if it is only a hint of something.
Tip #6
Have fun with decorating, turn the Christmas music on get into the spirit of the season.
Tip #7
Put the day to day collections away and enjoy the Christmas season, it is too short to not enjoy.
Tip #8
Create new memories by crafting new decorations, even as simple as paper snowflakes hanging on the window or a paper village I am coloring today with my kids. http://www.parents.com/holiday/christmas/printables
However you choose to decorate your home for Christmas, make it special for your family.
