Home Office Organization - Where’s My Desk Wednesday

I really like this video from Closets by Design. Their name is a little misleading because they are not just all about closets. In this video, they show you how they created an desk area for a client. This client loved to scrapbook and do other crafts, so they designed an area where she could […]

How I Organize My Kids’ Crafts

My kids are huge into crafts. Honestly, it’s exhausting sometimes but I am very thankful that they love to be creative.
