Kiss It Goodbye!

Today is the beginning of my first bloggy party! The Kiss the Clutter Goodbye party so let's get organizing. I say beginning because I'm going to allow this party to keep rockin' until we are all organized.

To start us off, I'm going to give links to some great organizing posts, websites, and whatever else I have found. Perhaps these will give you some great ideas to get you started or just inspire you to organize your space. I know I need all the help I can get in my wannabe workroom.


Our very own SITS girls pointed Storage Magazine's website. Their website is very organizing inspirational with tips for just about every room in the house.

Last week Tip Junkie had guest bloggers giving their organizational tips. You could spend days getting ideas there. There is tips from Today's Creative Blog, I'm an Organizing Junkie, 30 days.

If that's not enough, here's an giveaway that is sure to get you organized if you win from Virtually Organized. She recently just redesigned her blog so make sure you stop by and tell her how nice it looks as well as enter the giveaway.

One more link for this week. I don't want to overload you. The notable Thrifty Decor Chick is having her own organizing party so you can check her out with all kinds of phenomenal ideas. Shoot. You can join her party too if you want.

Now feel free to grab the button to let the bloggy peeps know you are playing. Try to visit the other guests to show your support because organizing is like losing weight- almost all of us need to do it, but we need support and the willpower. Mr. Linky is misbehaving so, for now, just leave a comment with a link to your post to let me know you something to share, and I'll keep a blogroll.

Have fun and let's kiss that clutter goodbye!

Buy Coffee For Cancer Research

So many wonderful shops have been opening in the last couple of weeks! These are mommy shops, shops run by women, and shops that donate to cancer research.

The first I want to tell you about is Tip Junkie's Mom-Preneur's Shop-a-thon. Isn't such a great name?! This is a list of women and mommy's sites you can shop from. There is a wide range of shops from baby boutiques to art to paper accessories.



Another shop I want to tell you about it is the Created by Mom Chic Boutique. This is a brand new site where only mom-preneurs can sell. I have been browsing around and recognized a few sellers on there. I highly recommend Vintage Body Spa's Butter Beans. I also love that each item tells a little bit about the mom who makes/sells the product. If you're a mom-preneur, head on over there. There is a 20%discount to all moms who have items listed on the site.


Lastly, this is an awesome shop! Get the Bean is the place to find coffee or tea. Check out some of these coffee flavors: Bavarian Chocolate, Caramel Apple Pie, Chocolate Rum Truffle, and Irish Creme. I drool whenever I look through the flavors. Each month they will pick a new coffee and donate a portion of the proceeds to cancer charities. This month the coffee is Mexico Coetepec, and the proceeds will go to the Melanoma Research Foundation. In honor of their grand opening, they are having weekly giveaways of 1lb of coffee or tea on their blog.



Please go check these shops out and support the women who run them. Besides you might miss something you didn't know you needed!
