Is your car homeless?
Tis the season of Dads and grads! Please note that my family will be visiting for my son’s high school graduation, and I will be unavailable from May 29th-Jun 7th. I will occasionally check emails and texts, but may not be able to respond right away. I apologize for any inconvenience!

Read This Before You Organize Your Garage
If you\’re like most of us, your car is a five-figure investment that you can\’t do without. Why leave it outdoors, where it can suffer damage from UV exposure, bird droppings, and tree sap? (And climbing into a scalding-hot vehicle in summertime is no fun.) Storing it in a garage will keep it a lot cleaner and could help prolong its life. Follow our DIY garage organization guide below for step-by-step instructions to rid your garage of clutter once and for all! Read More

Product Recommendation:
Multipurpose Cabinet
It\’s always a good idea to have a lockable cabinet in your garage for chemicals and equipment that you wouldn\’t want your children to have access to. This lockable multipurpose cabinet is easy to assemble, made with recycled resin, has four adjustable shelves, and is very durable.

Out with the old! It\’s Yard Sale time!
Happy Spring!! This time of year always reminds me of my mom’s annual Spring cleaning yard sales. They were such a production! My sister and I would go through our clothes and toys, we’d help her make the signs and set up the tables in the garage, and then we would pin a price tag on EVERY item! It sounds like a lot of work, but it was actually fun because we did it together. I’ve carried on the tradition and have held yard sales for the last 15 years. My son helps a little bit, and my girlfriend helps a lot. 🙂 It’s a great way to clear out the old and create spaces that are new. It’s extremely energizing and I highly recommend trying one this Spring!
