In the weeks leading up to Jack’s birth, I had two main goals: get the house moved in as much as possible and get our freezer stocked as much as possible

9 Ways That A Trip To The Dollar Store Can Help You Get Organized

For me, organizing has always much more about function than form. Because while I love the look of gorgeous, high-end organizing systems, I’m rarely willing to shell out the money to buy them! And since most of us homemakers have a budget to consider, it’s important to remember that getting organized doesn’t have to cost a fortune! That was the motivation behind a post I wrote a couple of years ago sharing a roundup of dollar store organizing hacks. And since being budget-conscious never goes out of style, I thought it was high time to revisit the subject! :-) So...
