One way we have been able to rein in some of the clutter is by using these game bags. They come in multiple different sizes making them great for all sorts of games/toys/puzzles. The bags are reinforced with mesh so stay strong while remaining transparent for you to be able to see what’s inside. Because the bags have a zipper and are waterproof, they are ideal for taking items on road trips or just for easy carrying around the house.

So what’s my secret to perfect knob placement every time? These cabinet guides!
Read MoreIt’s no secret that I have some very strong hippie tendencies. Reducing waste is important to me. But let’s be honest - I can be lazy. So what’s the happy medium there? Items that are easy and reusable!
In a construction zone of a house, there is a lot of mopping going on and these reusable mop pads are so easy to use and reuse. You can rinse them and reuse, then toss in the washing machine to go through with your next cycle. Literally rinse and repeat!
Read MoreIf you are anything like me your cabinets are always a mess. Need something quickly? Good luck! Buy a replacement bottle of dish detergent? Just stack it on top of that pile of Magic Erasers and hope for the best!
Luckily, I have found a solution - these cabinet organizers with drawers! They provide an additional tier for storage as well as a drawer for the base level in order to increase accessibility. Some also come with hooks to hang things off the sides as well as what can only be described as a cup holder to hold sponges, small bottles, etc. No more digging through piles of mess to find what you need. Now everything is organized and accessible!
Read MoreIt’s officially leaf season and while that means the scenery is beautiful, it also means that the yardwork is fairly relentless. Trying to put yard waste in paper bags can be so frustrating. It seems that they are constantly collapsing, falling over, or not staying open. And where I live, the city empties the bags rather than composting them. While I am all about reusing things, a paper bag that has been used multiple times DEFINITELY doesn’t keep its shape.
Read MoreIf your office is anything like mine, you are constantly on the hunt for the right cord. Everything these days seems to have a cord and they are never where you need them to be when you need them. It seems they are ALWAYS falling behind the desk. (Side note - is it just me or are cords always just a little bit shorter than you need them to be?)
Read MoreAs a whole, this set is perfect for scrubbing hard to reach places (e.g. the nooks and crannies of a hub cap) and for giving a little extra oomph to cleaning things that require heavy duty scrubbing (e.g. grout). I frequently use it to clean a piece of furniture before refinishing it because it is so helpful for getting off grime that I can’t get no matter how hard I try.
Read MoreOne of the things that drives me nuts about the house is the lack of lighting options. Each room has 1 light, no matter how large or how small. That usually translates to 1 LIGHTBULB per room. We kind of operate under the BYOFL rule - bring your own flash light.
But I no longer need to feel like a mole! I recently discovered this light splitter and it has been a game changer!
Read MoreI’ve had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for years and even using a can of spray paint for a short period of time will leave my hand numb (or at least tingly) for a couple of days. So imagine how excited I was when I found the Rust-Oleum Comfort Grip!
