“Laura was a life-saver when she organized my closet!”

“I was having a really hard time getting rid of anything, and she helped me realize that I didn’t need a lot of what was cluttering up my closet. I slept better after working with Laura, knowing that there was less extra junk in my life! Everyone should spend a few afternoons with Laura and see how much better their homes (and their lives) can be!”
-Shelly

We love snacks, you love snacks ... your kids, your dog, your local barista, EVERYONE loves snacks! 🍪🍫🍿🥨🍭🍬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bars, packaged cookies and even gummies come in their own boxes (which take up a lot of space)! I think you see where we're going with this...

You want to get rid of the packaging and toss them inside the drawer (because what else to do?). 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

by placing a few carefully selected bins (we used these trusty @idlivesimply containers), you'll have your Netflix munchies separate-but-easy-to-grab. 

And your snack drawer will be in tip-top shape for the whole family.

There's no one right way to organize your books 📚

Having books organized by color can make a true book collector cringe, so it's not the system for them. Typically, by genre or author is the system that works for them.

For those who lean into aesthetics, color sorting makes a statement! And it’s an excellent way to add pops of color to any room! 🌈

If you lean more towards functionality, then alphabetizing may be the way to go 📖

How do you sort + store your books?👇
