I love it! Now I hope I can find a good Pyrex deal on Black Friday 🙂

It really is not a good idea to put them in the dishwasher. Also, wash your hands well after handling them.

Oo, I like YOUR quote…”best organizational tool [we have] is our trashcans.” love it!!

From one artist-hoarder-organizer to another. 😉

And man did that stick with me! I was raised by hoarders (because you never know when you might need x, y, z) , I bargain shop which often leads me to buy things I don’t need at the moment (if ever) because it’s so discounted, and I’m an artist, so I save things (fabric, buttons, anything I think is “special” because I think I might create something with it someday. Meanwhile, I try daily to streamline my mess, organize my clutter, purge the excess, wash, rinse, and repeat. Right now I’m inspired to get rid of as much stuff as I can…for I now believe the best organizational tool we’ve ever purchased is our trashcan. 😉

I have a ridiculous habit of completely dismantling rooms in order to organize them…I switched my girls to the baby’s room and vice versa this week and am STILL working on it (and this is one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in a while, socially!) but in the process of changing closets etc I’ve gone through clothes and gotten rid of/stored a bunch! It feels great! Although hard on the muscles, all that heavy-furniture-moving…anyway, thanks for this great, REAL series. I appreciate it!

If you didn’t put them there, then I’m still envious. Scared that afterwards, it looks like a shot from one of those uber couponing shows. And impressed that the little ones were entrusted to help and most probably did. Yeah you guys.

Changing this has really helped.

HA! Forget the kids! The ranch is for me! (shameless admission) No, seriously. One night we ran out of ketchup. I think Malone thought he was about to die without ketchup. I had to go to the gas station. It was bad.
