Organization tips and tricks, how-to’s and help from Canadian Mom Blogger Tammi Roy at My Organized Chaos
Recently I tore through our house in a mad fury, making piles marked “toss,” “donate” and “keep.” I wish I could say my actions stemmed from some of that refreshing springtime energy, but, in fact, it all stemmed from frustration. This latest heavy purge was the result of being buried by an avalanche of boxes,…
With the new year comes a great time to purge, plan and organize. I have spent the better part of the last couple days cleaning out cupboards, drawers, closets, along with some re-arranging to make my space more aesthetically pleasing and also more functional. Included in my mission to organize the chaos, is tackling things like…
A couple weeks ago we went from hot summer weather one day and then the next it snowed for 3 days straight. From 30 above to freezing temps in just a matter of hours! So, I actually wasn’t sure if we’d see the fall season this year, it appeared to have bypassed us completely. Yet,…
With the day and age of digital photos upon us, it’s important to remember how to care for your photos. Digital photography is actually just a stage of photography that makes it easier to use and store photos. It is best to get them printed and have your digital records as a back up. There…

Guess where I’m sitting this very minute? It’s been a long 3 weeks since deck demolition and the start of our backyard renovation. Actually, it’s been almost torturous thanks to contractor ‘issues’. I found it tough to have 3 kids, and no backyard to play in when they are entirely used to spending so much time…
Months ago we started the process of a backyard renovation in the form of a new deck, a long overdue task which we had discussed for years. First we had to decide exactly what we wanted, interview contractors, choose the one to do it, and then wait for mother nature to agree with us….
For the longest time, our office was basically in the storage/spare room, in the basement of our house. In that room sat our first computer desk, plain with a wood top and metal legs that had sharp edges. I recall cursing at this desk more than loving it, since I continually would cut myself…
This last week on Twitter I was chatting about the chaos and my day spent in getting that Organized Home Office. Shredding, sorting, filing, labelling and taming all the madness that settled in my office over the Winter. I did have to make a huge mess in order to clean, but when all was…
When you’re shopping at a grocery store and grab that carton of milk, do you think about how its made? carbon footprint? If that brand gives back?

Do you recall my post about Coca-Cola changing the colour of its iconic red can, white, in the ‘Arctic Home’ Campaign? The color change is in honor of their support/awareness and donation to World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and their efforts to protect the polar bear’s habitat. Their home is my home – Canada, and they are…
