Once in a while I find an interesting item to repurpose and this week I came across 2 fish bowls on Freecycle. I grabbed them up, knowing that I wanted one of them to repurpose into a decoration for St. Patrick’s Day. I’ve been wanting to create a center piece that would make my children excited with the…
I grew up in Hawai’i where St. Patrick’s Day isn’t such a big deal. But once I had children, I discovered how fun St. Patrick’s Day crafts and treats can be. This year I used an after Christmas sale find to make these Leprechaun Hat Treat Cups for St. Patrick’s Day. I found these party…
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Reebok and Finish Line. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for participating As a mother of 3 children, I can’t even calculate how many times I’ve had to drag a child to go shoe shopping.

Today’s easy diy journal is definitely a quick and easy project. I use journals for all types of organizing. Every time we move, I set up a …
My daughter wanted to make a small gift to give to her friends. After a trip to the craft store, she came up with this giant clothespins gift idea. She was able to make these for just a couple of dollars each and personalize them with her friends’ favorite colors. They’re perfect for holding photos…
If you’ve hung around Organized 31 much, you know that almost every craft and organizing project I do starts with a recycled item. I’ll psychoanalyze myself another time and tell you why that is, but let’s just accept that fact that I like to repurpose items. Often I start with an item that I already have, but…
With over 20 moves in our rearview mirror, you can imagine how many windows I’ve had to cover in curtains. I don’t even want to try to do the math to estimate the number. Trust me. It has been lots! With each new move, one of my challenges is to find stylish curtains that won’t break the…
If you’re a regular around here, you know I’m a planner. I plan for everything. Every. Thing. But this is a new area of planning for me – planning to eat through the zombie apocalypse by making zombie apocalypse brownies. How fun is a book that describes itself as A Cookbook & Culinary Survival Guide…
