I recently read an article that gave me some insight on how to better streamline some areas, so I went digging and MAN there's so much out there!! I googled my way to organizational bliss.... now if I could just devote some time to putting it to good use! Sometimes I run across things and I say "man I want to try that" but I never do, I'm hoping to try more of what I came across recently that would work good for our family, schedules, budget, etc. I'm behind on the times and have ran across some really interesting resources and tools. Here's some info on the 3 that I've enjoyed checking out so far:
- Recently I received a PowerShelf to review, it's a place for our cellphones. It's a silly quirk, but the cords everywhere on my bar annoy me. With a toddler in the house, I can't even tell you the countless times he's grabbed the cord and yanked the phone off of the bar because a tiny bit of cord was within reach. I'll give a full review in the next week on the PowerShelf I received, and host a giveaway for a cellphone PowerShelf. I can tell you in short - it's one handy gadget!
- Some of my bloggy friends have been posting about Cozi.com recently... so I went to see what all the hoopla was about and whoa! That's one multi-purpose, organizational tool. I'm lovin it! There's grocery list making, family calendar/schedule with color coding, family journal.... lots and lots - and it even sync's with Outlook.
- One final resource I'm checking into and trying to take advantage of is knowyourstuff.org ... it's a place to inventory your home for FREE! This looks like a great way to keep track of things in your home for accidental fires, or even home owners insurance purposes in the case you were to ever be robbed.

You should take a video of your home every year. Go into drawers, closets, etc. We lost our home 2 years ago in a fire and luckily although we lost everything we were able to inventory easily b/c the second floor and 1/3 of the first was more smoke damage. Playing the guessing game for the cellar and remaining first floor is hard! Plus, you pay insurance so you can replace everything....so you might as well get paid for the paperclips too!
I left you an award on my site!
