Ask your friend whose house you love to help you. You get to spend time together and accomplish something at the same time. She will be flattered that you asked and happy to help! I have helped several friends with their homes and it was great fun!

Yesterday’s Tip of the Day was to use your children’s artwork in your home. I have also posted in the past about my daughter Grace being an artist. We have our children’s art throughout our home.

These are three paintings that are hanging in the hallway between our kitchen and living room. The dining room is also open to this hallway, so the art is a part of the dining room. These paintings may not be the colors I would choose if I were out buying art specifically for this space. …

If you don’t fancy yourself a decorator, find inspiration around you. The stores put the room together for you in their catalogs. Just find one you like and follow their formula.

How do these things always seem to happen to us? It was Jump Rope for Heart at the school, we are trying to be the good moms and go hang out with our kids. We showed up at 8 a.m. for the 4th and 5th grade jump. That one went oh so smoothly because the 4th and 5th graders are too cool to hang out with mom. But they do want to know we are there.

We went to the gym right after to squeeze in a workout. They say the …

No, not that kind.  But, never say never!  With the popularity of the site in the last few weeks, it became apparent that we needed to make a few changes.  We have heard your cry and opened the Lazy Lounge.  The Lazy Lounge is a discussion board where Lazy Moms can meet other Lazy Moms, exchange ideas and tips, and get to know each other.

All this talk about organization is making this Lazy Mom feel VERY disorganized.  It has inspired me to get my pantry in shape.  We moved into this house 6 months ago and I absolutely cannot stand the pantry.  It’s dark (no light fixture), not functional and just plain ugh!  Here is a before picture of my pantry.  Now, before you look, I have to tell you that this feels a little like getting naked in front of you.  I’m really exposing myself here.  (those choice words ought to do wonders …

The following is a guest post by my friend Patti. She is one of the most organized people I know, and one of the funniest! Unfortunately one of Patti’s vocal cords were nicked during a medical procedure recently and she can’t talk right now. So we have been communicating more through email and facebook. Patti’s humor comes across loud and clear in her writing so I asked her to write an organizing post for us. Patti Ford is an organizing goddess, and an artist. She can be reached at patti@thebusybrush.net. Enjoy!

Okay, …
