Custom spice drawer insert...ā check! . I moved my spices into this drawer and used this pretty set of glass jars earlier this year, but I havenāt been able to find an organizer thatās quite the right size so I decided to make one! . What do we think?! I was nervous about fitting that 4th row in back there but it worked out! . Iāve wanted to do this project for months now and when I finally got around to it, it really took me less than an hour to make! Funny how easy it is to put off simple projects, isnāt it? . You can find these inexpensive glass jars (they come with labels!) and the label maker I used for my labels in my Amazon shop!
many of us are in the thick of the school semester and kidsā activities, wrapping up fall cleaning and yardwork before the temperatures fall, and anticipating the holidays with to-do lists, gift lists, and planning get-togethers. If youād like to save some time and plan ahead for December too, go ahead and click here > How to use the free printable calendar Put these calendars to use by keeping track of your familyās day-to-day activities. The simple black and white design looks fresh and modern when printed on white paper, but you can add a pop of color by writing on it with colored pens or by printing it on colored paper!
In my natural habitat today (my house, organizingš) and got Chloeās clothes all sorted through. Her dresser is cleaned out and ready for fall weather now! (Is it bad if Iām totally ready for sweater weather? Anyone else?) These dresser drawers were messy and full of things she doesnāt fit in anymore (somehow I blinked and she turns THREE this fall!). It always helps to take some time to clean out the outgrown clothes and straighten things up! Now thereās room to spare (well, at least for as long as I can resist buying more cute toddler girl stuffš). Oh, and for the record: pretty wrapping paper in the bottom drawers will make you smile every time. Also, did you know those pink drawer dividers are a stupid simple DIY using diaper box pieces wrapped in paper? Theyāve held up for 3 years and are awesome for keeping these little clothes in rows. Hope this inspires you to clean out a drawer of clothes this week! Itās surprising how much space you can create just by folding everything nicely.
Last year, Prime Day was Amazonās biggest sales day, even bigger than Black Friday, and this year the buzz is that the deals will be bigger and better than ever.

If you donāt already have Amazon Prime, sign up for a free 30-day trial so youāre ready to take advantage of the deals if one of your items goes on sale.
My poor husband finally got a long overdue update to his office this weekend. Swipe to see the jungle theme heās lived with for THREE YEARS! He even still had the jungle curtain on the window that the prior owners left behindš¤£. With bright blue walls, blades of grass painted all around the walls/baseboards, and a giant tree that went up onto the ceiling, this was a job for quality paint! I partnered with @clarepaint to update this room using their paint, primer AND ceiling paint. One weekend of painting later and youād never know that giant tree used to be in this corner! šWhat do you think of this moody wall color? Itās called Shade and it feels so cozy and perfect in here.
I love spending this month finalizing Halloween costumes and party plans, visiting the pumpkin patch with my family, perfecting my fall home decor, and starting on Thanksgiving and Christmas plans.

How are you guys organizing all these face masks? I feel like ours are multiplying and ending up all over the place! . Todayās quick #smallstuffsaturday project was setting up a little system for masks. Itās nothing fancy, but I added a little container on the table for our clean masks to go after theyāre washed. This way theyāre all in on spot and convenient to grab by our keys so we donāt forget. . I also hung a mesh laundry bag on a hook in our entryway for used masks. This way they have one place to go when we come home and then we can throw the whole bag in the washer and not have to touch them a second time. . Iām calling this project a quick win for today!! Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!
Young kids will love being able to help by setting the table and unloading the dishwasher. When it comes to organizing kidsā dishes, the key has been to keep it simpleāafter all, itās a kidsā space!

Is your tupperware a mess? Yāall ask me almost every day how I organize mine and I finally shared it in stories today! Howās this look?! . A couple tips: š¹Stack containers by size with lids underneath or nearby š¹ Declutter and get rid of extra lids, mismatched containers, and anything broken š¹ Having a uniform set of containers with only a few lid sizes makes things easier to find and keep looking tidy š¹ test out layouts until you find one that work best and try to locate your most-used containers in the front . Iāve been meaning to do this for a while! It feels so tidy now and the pretty drawer liner makes me smileš.
šMy freezer got a makeover today and Iām feeling GOOD!! What do you think?! . You just canāt beat a quick project like this, right? A half hour later and my mess of a freezer looks a million times better! . I used The Home Edit Divided Freezer Bins by @idlivesimply and they were just what I needed!šš» . š¤Now tell me the truth, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being a disaster and 10 being worthy of an appearance on the new @thehomeedit show), how would you rate the state of your freezer? . #brandambassador
