A good way to start the day off productively is by making your bed. Doesn’t need to be perfect and it only takes 3 minutes. Plus, it feels better getting into a “made” bed at night. Can you tell Mojo wasn’t ready to get up this morning?! She just wanted to cuddle up with my blanket.

Ed & I saved up our money and bought one of those fancy schmancy blenders that blend ANYTHING! This called for following the “one-in, one-out” rule- in with the new, out with the old. Today I’ll donate the old one to someone who needs a blender. P.S. – I’m trying the “glowing green smoothie” today to see if it really makes my skin glow. Anyone else into blending?!

If you have a tiny laundry room (like me), use collapsible laundry baskets instead of the traditional bulky plastic ones to save space.

jweisman — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:50:47 +0000

Here’s a tour of my husband (to-be) Ed’s organized closet! He uses elfa as well. The trickiest part of his closet is how the closet itself is longer than the opening of the door, making it tough to access the items in the back corner. If you have this problem as well (most people do!), check out how I resolved the problem making it super easy for Ed to SEE and ACCESS all of his shoes. Is your husband//wife/fiance/boyfriend/girlfriend organized or is he/she a hot mess!? Leave a comment below or create a video response!
