How To Organize Your Chickens…Guest Post for Deb Lee @ Organize To Revitalize
Deb Lee, of Organize To Revitalize, has been fascinated by the fact that I have chickens, so when she needed a guest poster – guess who she emailed? Yes, me!

‘Where The Fack Is My Pack’ continues its journey . . . .
Delanie over at Write At The Moment had a serious ‘what the . . . ? ‘ moment recently when she unearthed an UNUSED dog backpack she’d had over 5 years. While, as a professional organizer, this doesn’t really surprise me (oh my, if I shared some of the things I find with clients!)
Applying Dave Ramsey to your task list . . .

Using ‘Notes’, or, “I have a lead on a client but can’t remember their name!”

Going green & getting organized with Chico Bags
ChicoBag Reusable Shopping Bags have been a long time favorite of mine. I’ve been using them for years to grocery shop, go to the farmers market, picnics, etc. I often get asked about them so I thought I’d do a post I could direct people to. What I love about them is:
Cell Phone Etiquette: Observations From A Mom
