We are gearing up to have a fun family style Halloween at home this year, so we’ve been planning dinner, snacks, and drink options. In our house, we all like to cook, so no matter the season, refrigerator space is always in short supply. I cleaned out all the condiments and leftovers I could, but that didn’t free up much space for drinks. I recently received an invitation from Newair to try a to try out a new appliance from them that solved this problem. They sent me a complimentary 16 bottle free-standing wine cooler fridge which will save valuable refrigerator space now and throughout the busy holiday season coming up. If you’ve every thought you couldn’t possibly squeeze one more thing into your fridge, read on for details.
Even though every season has a full list of chores to do,
most people tend to tackle closets in the spring. I did manage to re-organize
one of our smaller closets this spring, but then I became overwhelmed with our
overrun bedrooms closets and stopped. Now that it’s time to pack away warm
season clothes, I knew I had to tackle fall closet organization this fall and
now, thanks to Christina
Giaquinto, home organization expert with Modular Closets. I’ve got expert help in the form of her five
tips she’s sharing here today. Let’s tackle this task once and for all with Christina’s
help.
Focus on Organization- New streamlined planners & tools by Erin Condren
in #AD, cleaning, home office, notebooks, organizers, planners, wahmtips, by Linda A Kinsman, Thursday, October 15, 2020
Take me to an office supply store or let me shop online for organization tools and I am in my happy place. There is no way I can do my work as a blogger without at least one planner. Most years I have two, along with pads of paper, notebooks to write ideas down, file folders to organize my home office and good pens. Imagine my absolute delight when I got word that I was going to receive a box full of goodies from the new Erin Condren Focused Collection! The word FOCUS spoke to me, because I had just been talking about taking something off my plate starting now, in the fourth quarter of 2020, so I could focus on organization, blog work and more with the new streamlined planners and tools by Erin Condren.
As much as I’ve wished away some parts of this year, I’m
happy to see fall arrive. I love this time of year! October finds me winding things down outside
in the garden and soon enough, I’ll be turning my attention to indoor evening
activities. I can remember my Mom used to do needlepoint and embroidery almost
exclusively in the fall and winter months. While she did her best to teach me
to embroidery pieces as well as she did, my stiches were always rudimentary,
beginner level. I regretted not learning
this craft so I could teach my daughters, so when Fox Chapel Publishing invited
me to review this book, I happily agreed, so I can better my skills and help my
daughters learn how to embroidery animals too!
