About Me

Hi there! I’m Justina, wife and mama to three amazing kiddos. I have always been passionate about organization but after becoming a mom the passion grew deeper. I am driven to help moms organize their home and life so they can focus their time on what matters most! Read More

Sometimes people ask "what's the point?" or they w

Sometimes people ask "what's the point?" or they wonder why I put work in to make our home and living spaces decluttered and organized. Frankly, sometimes even I wonder why.

Well, this is the answer.⁠ My family, my people, and these precious moments with them.
⁠
These little people are part of the reason why I strive to have a house that is decluttered and organized.⁠
⁠
When my house is free of excess clutter and there is an easy to find home for everything, my heart is calmer and my mood is better. I am a better mom and wife.⁠
⁠
I want our home to be one where we come to to rest and rejuvenate. One where we aren't surrounded by clutter and mess and stress.⁠
⁠
That is my why? But what is yours?⁠

When the Hubs and I got married we had quite a variety of towels. Old towels from our college days and new ones from our wedding. There were so many and they were all different colors.⁠
.⁠
It drove me nuts! So finally I decided to say goodbye to our outrageous collection and keep only the white towels. White towels are the easiest to clean and are usually the most economical to replace.⁠
.⁠
It might sound crazy but that simple change has made it easier to keep up on laundry and our crisp white towels look pretty nice in the linen closet ⁠

Keeping things simple but fun over here. The kids

Keeping things simple but fun over here. The kids and I celebrating Valentine's day with a lunch time tea party! These simple break and bake cookies are a lifesaver for this baking challenged mom! We've got a few simple crafts, other treats, and "tea" (juice) ready for this afternoon!
.
Simple days like this are some of my favorite as a mom!
.
What are you doing this Valentine's day? Happy Valentine's day friends!

There is snow on the ground but I am itching for the warmer weather to get here so I can open up the windows and scrub away the winter.⁠
.⁠
Don't get me wrong I love the winter weather for a little while, but it tends to linger too long here in the midwest. I am ready for sunshine and green trees.⁠
.⁠
It might not be springtime just yet, but I have an awesome Spring Cleaning Guide on the blog you should check out.⁠

This last week has been a mess for us. Little Amel

This last week has been a mess for us. Little Amelia has had a cold, round two of basketball has started for Asher, and a million other appointments and to-dos have popped up that have left my head spinning.⁠
.⁠
When this sort of thing happens my life starts to feel out of control. I feel like I can't proceed forward because a million things are pulling me down. As someone who benefits from (and is motivated by) progress, not having progress is stressful.⁠
.⁠
When times get overwhelming, and life knocks me off my plan, I like to grab my planner and just brain dump onto the first clean page I can find. I write out everything I need and want to do, every appointment we have, everything we need from the store... EVERYTHING.⁠
.⁠
By getting all of this mental clutter out of our heads, we can finally see what needs to be done and create a plan to accomplish it.⁠
.⁠
.⁠
Could you use a brain dump this week?⁠

Packing for a family of 5 including an infant is no small feat. Diapers, wipes, extra outfits and all the snacks made the list.
.
In order to make sure everything we need is packed I like to create a general plan for each day and then pack accordingly. This doesn't mean a rigid itinerary, but at least everyone has a toothbrush.

What is your favorite place to go for a weekend get away with the fam?

Ahh, the dreaded junk drawer. I'll be honest, I gave up fighting this one. Living in a house means we have random things that sometimes move around or need a temporary home.
.
The key to successfully utilizing a junk drawer is to make it easy to see what is in the drawer. By using small baskets you can open the drawer and quickly find what you're looking for.
.
What is the strangest thing you have found in your junk drawer?

The thing I love most about the way this shelf works is that the kiddos can grab books and put them back easily. To be honest it doesn't always look this tidy but at least they are learning where to put the books when they're finished.⁠
