{Coat Closet Reorganization}
BUT, as the school year nears (noooooo!! ;) it's time to get thinking about organization again & being productive. But this time, since so many of our weekly projects are decorating-focused or food-focused, or whatever-focused, I'm renaming it "Pure Living 2010." Mr.Linky will be back on Monday if anyone want to participate & I've decided that lots of the projects will just be fun, simple things that make us happy so that way we have some super-productive projects to get things done and then some fun ones to keep us going.
{Paint Touch-up Jars Project #1}
This Monday's proejct (#12 I think??) will be to create a pretty simple, summer flower arrangement using flowers or herbs from your yard/ windowsill/ neighbor'd garden ( hee hee ;) whatever.. but something that didn't cost you anything, and add it to your table for dinner and as many days as it will last. I'm off Spring-Summer break and am ready to rock so I'll be back on Monday with pics of my flowers. I am SO not slacking this time. Ummm... and if I try to, can you convince me to stay strong?? :)
ps- I just joined Twitter and am not quite sure how it works yet so we'll see how that goes!! If you know how to find me on there, please do!
As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

I think the first step in good organisation is the component of planning... therefore, you are very organised indeed! Have fun with the rest!!!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Break up large projects into smaller tasks that take only 15-20 minutes {hard to do any more w kids and babies!}. Keep a list and check-off tasks as you complete them. You will find that it is motivating when a task is completed and excited to move on to the next one.
Keep up the great work!

Hi Lauren. I have to say that I don't think having a baby is 'slacking off', you sweet girl:) Looking forward to the challenge. Have a fabulous weekend. Hugs ~ Tina xx
have a great weekend and try not to beat yourself up for being busy with life! The projects will always be there... : )
Yes, I do remember when you started your organization links back in January. It even gave me the incentive to clean up my closet (I sent you a few pictures), but alas my closet is a disaster again. I was looking forward to organizing my home since it is very disorganized. Glad you are starting it up again.

Lauren so glad you are doing this again. I cleaned out my junk drawers in the kitchen when you did yours, I started the hall closet when you did yours, I never finished. You had a baby and a Toddler to take care of, mine are grown, so what is my excuse. This will be fun are you going to have a project every Monday? Who knows I might participate at least try to make a committment!! KATHYSUE
I just joined twiter and I too have no idea, but I will follow you
I cleaned out my junk drawer the other day. It took less than 10 minutes and made my whole day!
Love your blog - L.
Even as adults we all need a little discipline from time to time, so I have always worked with a "To Do List". It has done wonders for my behaviour pattern. :)
The 'project idea' is a fabulous one!

I am TRYING so very hard to be organized. I think it comes naturally for some, others not so much! My daughter(11) is VERY organized without us telling her to do any of it. She just likes things that way & takes the initiative to do it! Inspired by My Girl~always! :)
Sounds like a great project...good luck, I am sure you will get all sorts of encouragement, the beauty of blogland!
have a great weekend.

I like the idea of the small, cheap organizing link up parties. How inspiring to see what others are doing. PS. I've signed up for twitter too but don't really use it. It's fun and all but just not that helpful to me
I'll make my flower arrangement on Monday!
I'll make my flower arrangement on Monday!
We just moved into a new house, which has been a huge undertaking. But the good news is that it allows me to reorganize with the needs of our family at this stage in life.
Love reading your inspiring blog!

I do hope that you offer this as part of your "pure style home" design projects. Nothing says home better than a closet where one can find things in a jiffy- especially as back-to-school begins and time becomes even busier!

Great plan, we all get busy with life and children. :)
See you Monday!
Adore the jars!!! What a cute idea...especially with the Bow! Love it. Good luck...I have a looonnng list of things to do as well :D
When you have two young boys (I know...I do, too), I don't think you can ever use the word "slacker"! You have been working your hiney off :) That being said, you might get me motivated to organize all my paperwork.
