Wedding Wishes
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Tuesday, April 19, 2011
My husband and I got married eight years ago and about four months ago we ended up watching our wedding video over with some family members. I agree, it wasn’t on the top of my to do list. It was actually very embarassing to watch. When I listended to and saw my dad’s toast I couldn’t believe what I heard. I don’t remember a... Read more

Organizing Hanging Clothes
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Friday, April 8, 2011
In my opinion, there’s really only three ways to hang and divide clothes in a closet. The first is by season. Here in the midwest, it would make sense to sort out clothing by season. I find this is the hardest system to maintain though. Clothes are easily mixed by accident and maintaining the seasonal categories requires a greater effort. The... Read more

Making Room for Baby
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Sunday, April 3, 2011
Creating Special Storage Spots for Baby Expecting your first baby? With a slow housing market, many couples are choosing to stay put in their condo or apartment. It may be easier to organize, downsize, and make room for a new family member instead of selling and buying a home. Prep and organize space around the home to make the tranisition smo... Read more
The Most Difficult Area of the Kitchen
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Monday, March 28, 2011
Maximizing the Cabinet Space Under the Sink The cabinets under the kitchen sink in my opinion are probably the hardest part of the kitchen to organize. Pipes and the garbage disposable always make it tricky to maximize the space. It’s always dark and sometimes damp. Nine times out of ten, it’s jam packed with plastic grocery bags and cl... Read more
Space for the Pets

Storing and Organizing Pet GearWhether you have a cat, dog, parrot or goldfish, their stuff accumulates and ends up all over the house. We have just one cat and all of her toys, food, and beds drive me bonkers sometimes. So here’s are simple things to remember when trying to keep pet gear organized and useful. ... Read more
Born Organized?
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Monday, March 21, 2011
I’ve always wondered- are people born with the organizing gene or does a person’s environment affect their ability to organize? I guess I’m still on the fence about this, but I think about it often. All of us can think of a friend or family member who is super organized and never skips a beat. In the same thought, we can think of ... Read more
Taking Jewelry Along
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Wednesday, March 16, 2011
Packing jewelry for a trip can be quite the challenge. Necklaces get tangled, bracelets are easily bent, and earrings and rings are too easy to loose because they’re so small. I had to laugh recently when my sister was visiting. She spread out her comestic and tolietry bag on my kitchen countertops to dig through to find her jewelry. I didn&r... Read more

What to Consider Before Hosting a Garage or Yard Sale Spring will soon be arriving and with spring comes spring cleaning and with spring cleaning comes garage sales! The possible financial gain inspire and entice people to hold sales, but the work and weather factors always weigh in. So should you hold one or forgo it? T... Read more
Keeping Cleaning Simple
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Wednesday, March 9, 2011
When it comes to cleaning, I keep it super simple and stick to my favorites. I rarely venture out with new cleaning products and normally don’t stock up. When I run out, I buy another bottle. This helps with not using up to much space under all my sinks. My husband and I also use having guests over as our incentive to clean. We are intentiona... Read more
Modeling Organization
Posted by Amber Kostelny-Cussen on Monday, March 7, 2011
Whether you’re a business owner, parent, manager, teacher, or instructor, believe it or not, people watch what you do and how you do it. They look to you to set the example, and when it comes to organization, it is super important to model organization if you expect other around or below you to value and implement it as well. The ...
