Click the title of this blog post to read an article posted on the Southern Weddings magazine website (iloveswmag.com). It’s a short, heartfelt story that shows exactly what it means to have a healthy perspective on your marriage & other relationships in your life. Bottom line from the article: If you don’t prioritize your marriage, who will?
Over on YoungHouseLove (a DIY/home decor site which you should definitely read), John & Sherry Petersik are dedicating this week’s posts to organization. They’ve been busy lately (more on that here), thus they’re leading the charge for a cleaning/organizing/paring down bootcamp. Here’s their schedule of events:
- Monday- shelf/cabinet organization
- Tuesday- clutter wrangling
- Wednesday- grooming & cleaning product organization
- Thursday- paper/technology organization
- Friday- basement & garage
Sadly, this week I’ve got grad school finals and won’t partake in this clean-house bootcamp. But this weekend and next week, I’m all about it! I encourage you to take part too - think about the things you own, and WHY. If the whys are escaping you, maybe it’s time to let go. And don’t forget to embrace how good it feels to simplify!
Real Simple always knows what’s up when it comes to organization. Click on the title of this post to read some fantastic organizational advice from the magazine. In a few weeks my fiance and I are moving in together, and I’m hoping to use these tips as we combine our stuff and start our new life together. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes!

Inspiring, in so many ways.
In honor of my Nashville trip this weekend, I’m reblogging this thread from BlairSings. I’d also add that tourists spend way too much time at the Civil War sites in Franklin and they incorrectly think OpryMills is a worthwhile tourist attraction.
A. They have on the cowboy hats.
B. And Fanny Packs.
C. And brand new boots.
D. They wait in line to eat at The Hard Rock…
“Every Night Starts With A Simple Question…”
Check out this inspiring video from Puma’s “State of Play” campaign, which encourages everyone to go DO something instead of living vicariously through our TVs.
Fave line: “The night deserves to be played, not watched. And channel surfing is not a sport.”
