getting organized
with Renee at ReneW Your Space
I like to think I am organized...but really I am a disorganized-organized person. Oh I am constantly trying to organize...and I do and it remains that way for about 15 minutes...and then all bets are off...I am the only one who can find anything.
No wonder I love ReneW Your Space...
I need help...possibly an intervention!
Since my kitchen is all dismantled right now...I figure, I might as well put it back and have it make sense, right? To the rescue comes Renee and her tips for the kitchen.
I have been making my own cleaner {thanks Heather} and working on laundry soap {thanks Nikki}, but seriously need to organize the cleaning closet... I have cleaning stuff everywhere!
Seriously now, some of you may have noticed my comments are time stamped at 2 am! So I have been looking for ways to make a dent in my daily tasks or improve my time management skills...well here is a list of what you can get done in 15 minutes.
And finally, we all know I am on a healthy/lifestyle makeover kick. I loved my detox, but there is so much more I, and well everyone, can do to clear your body clutter. There are definitely some ideas I have yet to implement completely!
Now that I have confessed how unorganized I am, do yo still like me?
Go visit ReneW Your Space and see how you can renew your space.

hanging out in the kitchen
Holly and I have been bloggy friends for awhile and
she shares some absolutely delicious recipes and tips.
Holly has practical advice that makes you think
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Her recipes are simply perfection, like her pork chops - easy and fabulous!she shares some absolutely delicious recipes and tips.
Holly has practical advice that makes you think
"Why didn't I think of that?"
I am the first to admit I get stuck in a rut...brown rice and whole wheat pasta on alternating nights! I cannot wait to try her Mayan Couscous...
Can you believe I have never made couscous!? I am making this tonight!
Now, I make it no secret that I like to start and finish my day with coffee...
Holly's morning prayer is just up my alley!
And because a girl can never have too many blogs,
you can also visit Holly at
where you can find recipes with a little something-something in them
where she shares fun little tips and tidbits about caring for a home.

ReplyDeleteHey Holly! I'm linked up and posted my own tickled pink blurb! :) Glad you enjoyed a vacation with your family. It sounds like you had a lot of fun! Thanks for stopping by yesterday. Be sure to come and see what tickles me pink!

ReplyDeleteI am tickled to have finally found something I find pink worthy to post! On my other blog, Metabolism Blues I am discussing what is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you soooo much for featuring my skirt! I appreciate it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm of course I'm a follower.
I'm also a follower of DIY Club - yea to All Thingz Related for winning this month. :)
ReplyDeleteholly, YOU tickle me pink! you say you're disorganized, but look at this post! all these fancy pics and links to other fabulous blogs, etc...sigh. i wish i could stay up late and play in blog land like you. so many blogs, so little time.
ReplyDeletethanks for the shout out. i didn't get on the ball to post anything pink today, but i will for next week!
Very nice picks again this week. Glad to hear you were able to enjoy some boating and hanging out fun. Gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteHello Holly
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all of your comments! You made my day! I know what you mean about time management! I used to be pretty good at it, getting all or most of my to do list done each day. Well, that was before I discovered blogging recently! I need to figure out a happy balance of it all! :)
I am a self-styled organized person trapped in an unorganized person's body. ReneW- what a great find! I'm following her for some organization inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Busy Mom's Guide's renovation- that couch is fantastic!
YOu've been so busy lately. I love the eclectic mix here!
ReplyDeleteHey Holly, I've linked up a post i wrote this week - I was tickled pink by the response to it... especially a comment from a girl of 13. I'm tickled pink that there are plenty of women of all shapes, sizes and ages, who are truly beautiful inside and out - and that beauty is more than just skin deep. Hope you like it :)
ReplyDeletexx
Yay, so fun you got out in the water after all that time!! It is such a great way to spend a day isn't it? I feel like I forget about it sometimes during the off months. I'm glad your kitchen is almost done, I want to see!!! And that orange room looks surprisingly amazing, i love it! As well as the baseball bracelet, when I was little- I would have LOVED that. Also, I about died in the comment you left me about 3 -4 dollar designer clothes... oh me oh my!!!
ReplyDeleteps I am a follower :)

I love the play on works on Renee's site. I want to be organize but I've been unorganized for so long I don't know if I'll be able to function as an organized person.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like organized disorganization.
