I started working from home in 2008, so I’ve had a home office for many years.  As a blogger, though, my home office organization needs have changed a great deal between now and then.  I have less need for filing cabinets and more need for, say, an area to take pictures and a place to store all my “stuff”.

Home Office Organization Ideas using inexpensive shelving units!

To say that my home office had started to get a little overrun is an understatement.  I love shopping for photography props so I had plastic tubs of dishes, linens, accessories, holiday items and more.  The main problem with this, though, is that half the time I would buy something and then promptly forget I owned it.  And if I did remember owning it, finding it was another challenge.

Someone once told me that you should always keep a kite in your trunk.  So this is what my trunk usually looks like:

Always keep a kite in your trunk - just in case!

I like to keep at least one or two kites plus a ball, some kid-size sporting equipment, sand toys, and a lightweight stroller.  That way if the mood strikes us we can hop out and spend some time playing in a local park or even take a walk. Continue reading »

Bubbles is already getting to where she has an opinion about how things look and are designed. She tells me frequently what she considers “to be fashion” whether it’s with her clothes (or my clothes) or the decor of her room.

DIY Dinosaur Topped Jars make really cute kids bathroom decor. Fill them up with adhesive bandages, hair accessories, jewelry, cotton swabs - whatever your kids (or you!) use regularly
