Back to School already?
Dear Candice,
I hope you’re having a nice summer!! School is still a month away (yay!), but it might be a good idea to kind-of-sort-of start thinking about it a little bit. ? One area that’s fun to think about is your kids’ memorabilia. Sometimes it can get overwhelming, I know, but setting up a system now will help make it more manageable when it starts pouring in! And I LOVE this organizing solution in the following article. SUPER easy to set up and maintain!! I hope you think so, too.

Do you know where all of your summer gear is?
Summertime is here, and you are going to be accessing the things in your garage more and more—bicycles, camping gear, gardening supplies, beach chairs….but the question is, can you get to, or even find, any of these things? Are you too embarrassed to even open the door? You are not alone! But wouldn’t it be great to just walk into your garage, grab your beach blanket, chairs and cooler, and simply go to the beach?? This is just one good reason to get control of your garage and get it organized.

If you\’ve ever looked around to see who\’s outside before opening the garage door, you\’re not alone. This part of the house collects everything from toys and sports equipment to tools and garden supplies—some of which probably haven’t been used in years. Fortunately, garage storage solutions change everything. When you\’re finished organizing, you might even have room inside for your car!
