I am joining in on White House, Black Shutters 40 Bags, 40 Day Challenge. It has officially been a week, so I thought I would share with you my progress and any tips and tid bits of knowledge I have learned along the way. So here are the "expert-preggers-mom-of-two-in-a-small-house-organizing tips" or what I've learned thus far. 1. Start small. Organizing, simplifying and getting rid of stuff can be overwhelming.

2012 Resolutions & Free Printable

Stick around 'til the end for some printables to track your resolutions. Here are the ...
