Ah, Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest. Oh, how I love thee. While at times you may make me feel lazy and inadequate as a mother and homemaker, for the most part, you’ve been a loyal mistress; providing me with ideas, eye candy and mindless escape.
Nowhere have you helped me more than with my organization woes. I love you for your simple and efficient ideas and tutorials. Today I salute you by sharing some of my favorite organization pins.
First, I should mention that when it comes to organization I’m really quite average. My main saving grace that keeps our house in relative order is that I am really, really effective at purging. That combined with the fact that I’m quite an indecisive shopper, so I don’t bring tons of extra clutter into our home.
Besides for the above-mentioned traits I don’t think I’ve had any original ideas for organizing our home. I’m pretty sure every brilliant idea has been stolen from somewhere else.
