In the past few years I’ve been asked quite a few times about the plants we have in our house. I think I’ve never talked about them because I don’t really know a whole lot about them except for 1. they look pretty and I love the natural greenery indoors and 2. many of them [...]

I love to organize. That’s nothing new and nothing you didn’t already know. What I don’t like is spending money on pricey bins, baskets and containers. If I’m going to spend money on them I try to only buy them if they’re going to be seen or they have some functionality that is convenient to [...]
an organized refrigerator

Our refrigerator was literally owning us. And with all the spring cleaning going on in our house I figured it was time to tackle this beast. Problem is, there are no produce drawers and the one drawer at the bottom is pretty useless because it’s big and broken and cracked and annoying to operate. In [...]

It’s Marathon Monday here in Boston today! It’s fun to relive that day a year later and remember all the amazing memories. I can’t believe it’s been a year. We’ll be out there showing our support today! The weather here in New England is slowly starting to warm up so we took advantage and got [...]

I’m thinking that many of you asked this question after reading the last post, “did they have renter’s insurance?” The short answer is no. We learned a lot when we dealt with this whole ordeal, below I’ve shared some things with you. The long answer is this: the Monday before the break in I finalized [...]
a simple kitchen fix & a trip down memory lane
Posted in Household Helpers, Memory Lane, Small Spaces, Storage & Organization, tagged dish towel hooks, space saving kitchen tips, spice rack, tea box holder on March 23, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
This small thing has been annoying me since we moved in over a year ago. The oven door on our stove is very short. So whenever a dish towel is hanging it touches the drawer underneath the oven. You know, the one for pots and pans or cookie sheets or pizza stones. The one that [...]

We love grilling and now that it’s March it means grill season for us is in full swing. When you have minimal space in your home and in your kitchen it’s tough to store those massive sized grill tools. We also picked up a great kabob rack over the winter for a super clearance price [...]

It’s been a year and two days since we moved into this house. And for the entire time the stove/oven has not worked properly. I’ve begged and pleaded with the landlord, the fix it man, the fire department and anyone else who would listen, to get a new one. It wasn’t happenin’ though. We did [...]

It’s no secret that I have a love for Craigslist. You can find almost anything you’re looking for. I use it to buy and sell. Before I buy anything I always check Craigslist first to see if there’s any postings for what I’m looking for. Navigating Craigslist can be overwhelming though, so I wanted to [...]
