Gotta love a quick and easy cord hack! This is such a simple cord organization solution for the long chargers that always fall on the floor by your nightstand, desk, end table, etc. Simply stick one (or more) on the side of your nightstand and it will hold your charger in place so it’s easier to reach from bed and not cluttering up the floor. 💬Comment with the word “link” and I’ll dm that to you! ⭐️Follow me for more organizing, cleaning and homemaking ideas and motivation for busy moms.
How’d I do? I wasn’t exactly sure how we’d fit a desk in Chloe’s bedroom, but it sure turned out cute! If you’re struggling with a small space, sometimes you have to try rearranging or thinking out of the box to come up with an organizing solution that makes the most of the space you have. I’m in love with how this project turned out and my soon to be first grader is thrilled! She helped me with every step of the project and I’m so happy we made this cute little desk space happen. 💬Comment with the word “links” and I’ll dm you a link to my blog post where you can see lots of photos, get more project details, and find links to everything shown. ⭐️Follow me for more organizing, cleaning and homemaking ideas and motivation for busy moms.
Spend the evening with me! What my evening looks like as a corporate hybrid mom after heading home from the office. A few errands, daycare pickup, the chaos of making dinner while also doling out a thousand snacks to keep everyone happy while I try to make the actual meal, catching up on dishes while David handled bathtime, and FINALLY finding time to finish the book that I’ve been looking forward to all day. What do weeknights look like in your house? ⭐️Follow me for organizing, cleaning and homemaking ideas and motivation for busy moms.
‼️Common clutter mistake‼️ Waiting until you “feel like” organizing or until you have that magical free weekend when you can declutter the entire house is a recipe for failure. There’s never going to be a perfect time, the best course of action is to choose a small project and work on it little by little. Even 20 minutes of organizing can make a big difference! 💬 Comment with the word “guide” and I’ll dm you my free guide called Small Projects, Big Impact: The busy mom’s guide to finding time for organizing. ⭐️Follow me for more organizing, cleaning and homemaking ideas and motivation for busy moms.
When your cabinet or drawer or closet is making you sad and irritated, it’s time to clear it out and create a system! A lot of decluttering and some strategic cabinet organizers and now we have a bathroom sink cabinet that’s actually functional.

Took a few minutes to organize my nightstand and it needed it! It feels good to declutter all that randomness and be more intentional with what I’m storing in my nightstand drawer. Speaking of nightstands, when we upgraded to a long bed last year I searched high and low for narrow nightstands that would fit this space and these were such a good Walmart find and a STEAL of a price, too. 💬Leave a comment that includes the word “LINK” and I’ll send you links to my nightstands and drawer organizers.

I had our dishwasher running when we went to bed last night, so I quickly put the clean dishes away and load the dishwasher with any dishes that have gathered on the counter. I always say dirty dishes attract more dirty dishes and making it a point to put things directly in the dishwasher really helps prevent us from just getting lazy and stacking dishes up next to the sink. I wash any remaining things in the sink which I’m always so tempted to skip, but a couple of minutes scrubbing those dishes now is always so much better than having to catch up on a mountain of dishes a few days later. We haven’t been the best at getting her to fall asleep on her own, but I think as I start to have more energy again we’ll be able to leave her alone before bed and get a little time in watching a show just David and me.

I love how everything has turned out, but my final (and arguably most fun project) was organizing the vanity! I was hoping to use The Home Edit’s new line of vanity organizers for my drawers, but they were just a smidge too tall for my short drawers. I had two phases to my project: the larger items in the turntable under the sink, and smaller things like hair products and makeup in the drawers, potentially with some on the counter. I’ve got a post all about the best products for organizing drawers, and the museum gel is included.
