Organizing with Barbie:-)

Okay so it is clearly my fault that my daughter has too many barbie dolls. In a effort to find somewhere to keep them all neatly I decided the barbie house needs more seating. So instead of the dolls just laying on the floor of the doll house they could sit up neatly on a couch. In my light bulb moment I decided to make a sofa from 2 kraft mac and cheese boxes.

So I used black duct tape then I used a little zebra print duct tape to create a little design at the top and bottom of the couch along with some throw pillows (zebra tape with cotton balls inside) that are taped down of course (otherwise they will be lost in the toy box)

So now barbie can hang out with two other friends on their new couch 

and satisfy my crave for neatness in the barbie doll house. 

This project made everybody happy...me the kids and barbie :-)

Email Overload!

Too many emails? I think a good rule of thumb is...every time you sign-up for a new email subscription you should delete one. You know the one that never says or shows anything useful like you thought it would when you first signed up.

Manage your inbox so it can be an asset not a burden :-)

Tax Time is Coming!

Well the holidays have passed and it's time to organize anything related to tax filing. Get all your donation receipts, W-2 forms etc. all in one place so searching for documents is not an added headache to doing your taxes. Go ahead and clean off the desk you have to work at too, so in your moments of frustration you don't take it out on all the stuff that's out of place on your desk and throw it away only to discover later you really wanted to keep it (oh only I do that :-).

Happy Tax Time and remember...when the IRS is happy, everybody is happy the IRS is happy :-)
