Getting It Together by Kayse Pratt {Product Review}

Attention moms!

Imagine being so organized that you have a free hour each day to do what you want.

How would you spend that hour? 

Would you…

  • Take a bath with a glass of wine?
  • Read a book while the little one naps?
  • Watch your favorite episode of  Friends?
  • Actually create something you’ve pinned on Pinterest?

Have you struggled with organizing your life after kids?

I’ve had the opportunity to review Getting It Together by Kayse Pratt. 

 

Let me tell you.  I’ve used a few Kayse’s printables for a few months now.  I love them.  She has thought of everything we need to make us feel more put together. 

I’ve had more than one occasion when I needed a piece of information but totally forgot where I placed it.   Has that ever happened to you?

Reading through Kayse’s e-book has kicked me into high gear to use each and every one of them.  You can either print them at home or order them through your local printing shop. 

I actually printed a few of the blog post schedules and laminated them.  I then can write on them for a month and erase as each week passes. 

I actually printed the perpetual birthday calendar off twice.  I use one for kids and one for adults.  It’s just too overwhelming to put them all together.  At least for me!  I like to send cards to the little ones for their birthday so this helps me keep better track. 

 

Here are some details about the book:

  • The release date is today : December 31, 2012.
  • It will be FREE once you subscribe to Kayse’s newsletter.  You can do that here
  • The e-book includes 30 cute and functional printables! 
  • If you prefer to purchase your PDF file you can do that here
  • You can purchase a copy for your Kindle here.  Then you can visit the link (included in the book) to download your printables. 

If you are on Twitter you are welcome to join Kayse (and a few hundred of her closest friends) on Thursday, January 3rd at 7pm PST.  Use the hashtag #gettingittogether to join in and discuss New Year’s Resolutions, Home Management tips, and much more!

O = Organized {All About Me}

I love to be organized.

I prefer everything to be in its place.  It only makes sense, right?  Some of my favorite things to shop for are items that will help me keep my life organized.

Oh, and don’t even get me started on the amazing things I see on Pinterest on an almost daily basis.  It’s inspiring for sure.

See, I said I love to be organized.  I didn’t say I am always organized.  Every so often I find that there is a new way, a better way, or an easier way to keep things.

My favorite store for many of these items?  The Container Store!

Here are a few of my favorite items. 

These are on our bathroom sink to hide most of the toiletries we use.  Some of course are out because I use them more than once a day! 

Laundry closet.  Cute bins that make me smile and contain the laundry/cleaning supplies. 

The fun cubbies in the living room that we use to hide the toys, toys, and more toys.  I talked about this back on the G post too! Can you tell I love these?!?

It’s here!!!

I’m so excited about this that I had to share about it. Did you take advantage of the $40 off a $40 purchase at Paper Coterie that I shared on Facebook a few weeks ago?  I hope so!!

Here’s my new planner that cost me $7 in shipping. That’s it!  Thanks Paper Coterie!

I’m excited to see if this planner has what it takes to handle my crazy schedule. Between work, the boy’s schedules (hubby included), blog schedule and family activities, I’ve yet to find a planner that is compact enough but big enough to handle it all!!

My current planner goes through January 2013 so I’m not quite ready to use it but I’m SO excited about it!

I wasn’t asked by Paper Coterie to review this planner. I just had to tell you about it!  Here’s another view!

Overwhelmed? Disorganized?

Does your to-do list look a lot like this? Is the feeling overwhelming that crossing off one chore causes three more to find their way on the list? Do you need to get organized or reorganized?

Finally!!! I pulled out my new binder! I found these at Target about 4 months ago. I think they were 60% off at the time. They are just gorgeous. So lately I’ve been so busy I can’t seem to keep track of what I have going on or what I need to do. Today I woke up with determination to get re-organized!

Dividers that are colorful and coordinated!

It begins here. Ten sections. One for the to-do list, one for my current bible study, one for my blog info etc. etc. etc.
