7 Steps To Organize Your Garage

It’s summertime! The kids are home and families are planning their summer activities and vacations, which means…folks need access to their garages. That’s where all the tools, toys, bikes, sporting and camping equipment are right?  Too bad all that stuff you need is spread out all over the garage with no rhyme or reason.  No wonder I’ve been getting a lot of questions on how to organize your garage!

Well, don’t fear. I’ve got 7 steps to help guide you through the mess to organize your garage and create a space that’s orderly and easy to access. Before you start any garage project make sure you take into consideration the weather (too hot or too cold) and prepare accordingly.  As a Certified Professional Organizer in San Antonio, Texas, you can be sure this is one of the first things I check!  Be sure to have enough water on hand and wear clothing that will allow you to move around easily and that you’re not afraid to get dirty in.  I also highly recommend wearing closed-toe shoes.  Plan a weekend or two to get through it all and put it on your calendar.  This is an important event!  Let’s get started….

SLT067: Simplify Your Wardrobe Redux

Way back in Episode 47, Simplify Your Wardrobe, we explored our relationship with the clothes that we wear and asked ourselves some questions such as: So what things shape your current wardrobe? What does your wardrobe look like now? What would your ideal wardrobe look like? and What are some of your favorite pieces and why? We also introduced that we were going to give a microcourse called Dress With Less a try, cutting our wardrobes down to 33 pieces each for 3 months.

Well, it’s been over 6 months and 20  Simple Life Together episodes since then and while we’ve mentioned quite a bit about our progress along the way, we thought we owed you a good, solid wrap up. So this is it!  Read more…

Wouldn’t It Be Nice To Live In This Tiny House Village?

Four Lights

Special thanks to Edit & Forget It Challenge member Mikaela who shared this link on our private E & F Facebook Group. I’ve been checking this little village concept out since Jay Shafer first started talking about it. I have this dream of building a similar one…just a bit bigger with a garden co-op, its own little general store with local produce, a coffee shop and commons area, etc.

Thanks for sharing, Mikaela! Now we all get to enjoy…and dream.

Solar Roadways Project

I love this concept! Have a look at some of the videos on the Solar Roadways Introduction page and I think you’ll love it too! If nothing else, you’ll be fascinated by the possibilities.

Imagine the US being able to produce three times the amount of energy we consume each year. What a difference that would make.

Look it over and let me know what you think, okay?
