Organization: Bedroom Closets

I am already thinking of "projects" to do this winter! One project I want to attack is my bedroom closet! It's pretty tiny, but there is so much wasted space. I like things to be organized, color coordinated and pretty. My closet right now is basically, "Hang it, close the door and forget about it!" I found some inspiring closets online and wanted to share them with you....

One of my favorite closets is Nicole's of Making it Lovely

It's actually just a wardrobe from IKEA!!! Gotta love IKEA!

Isn't it pretty? Makes you want to make your closet nice doesn't it?
I don't want to spend a lot and I would like to be as thrifty as possible!
I will probably set a strict budget and STICK TO IT!!!
Also, I want to buy things that I can use in any future closet I may have and durable enough to keep moving around, since I move a lot.
Any suggestions? What does your closet look like?

Organized Blogging

I have a love hate relationship with my blog.  I enjoy blogging because it gives me a chance to be creative.   I love having a place where I feel I can be me and do what I want.  Blogging does take a lot of planning and time. (That's where the hate part comes in!)  I love to take pictures and share them with my readers.  I edit everything in Photo Shop, which takes more time.  I put my logo on my images, which is such a pain in the butt!  I do it because I had my posts stolen before, you can read about that HERE.  When I got back from my Ohio trip I felt refreshed and had to find a better way to blog...

I decided starting a new month in May, I would force myself to plan ahead!  I bought a .99 cent notebook and just started writing it all down.  It's not a pretty planner, but maybe I could get to that point.  I try to have certain days reserved for recurring posts.  I love the TODAY'S COLOR posts because it's colorful and fun to search the web for images and helps me to keep on track planning the same post weekly.  I have complained and ranted about trying to be a blogger who is predictable week after week and it just isn't me.  I am all over the place, that's just how my mind works.  So to compromise, I just leave some "slots" on my notebook open for days where I want to ramble on about whatever!  If I feel like posting a cute picture of a bunny in my yard, it's happening! :)

If you are using blogger as your blog format, you know all about the "new" changes they have made.  Something else I am taking advantage of is "scheduling" my posts in advance!  This could of been a feature all along and I just now noticed it, but it's like a saver to me right now.   I can spend one or two days during the week just doing blog posts and have them all scheduled ahead of time.  It makes blogging fun for me and not stressful!  I feel organized and ahead!  So having a list, a plan & scheduling ahead is keeping me on track.  I don't wake up in the morning anymore thinking,"What the heck am I going to blog about today?"

It's so nice being organized and having a plan.  I have been able to blog daily, redesign my blog, decorate my house and design for others!  I feel like my time is better managed now! 

How do you blog?  

Would you consider planning your posts in advance?

Go check out Kaylah's organized blogging post!  She posted this right when I decided to also get organized!  Her way is much "prettier" then mine.  :)

ORGANIZATION: For The Kitchen

I can't stand NOT being organized. With our new diet, we are loving cooking again! We are planning a trip to IKEA soon and hope to get things like spice jars and food savers. Eating a plant based diet and whole foods you need lots of canisters to make everything look pretty and stay fresh! Here are some things that I found that would help anyone get more organized in the kitchen....
