I cover all the R’s here and Repair is one of them. This particular featured image is where a soap dispenser used to be. It was caked in soap underneath which was an exercise in acrobatics to fit under the sink and clean that! That was not a good spot for a garbage disposal! There…
If you don’t live in Austin, encourage your local library branch or system to create something similar! Not only can you socialize if you want, but you can get a new-to-you puzzle and rehome puzzles you no longer use! Win-win! A lot of people have puzzles laying around. They either intended to do them and…
If you support something with color, don’t forget to layer. I had a school field trip (red) on the same day as a Thursday in Black, and it was cold. I chose to layer shirts, but I could have also used my Thursdays in Black button or scarf to have my black on. Thursdays in…
Austin Wildlife Rescue put out a call for containers on their social media. I knew my best friend, the professional organizer, had some so I shared. This type of call is where it comes in handy to be talking to people and know what they need, who has what where, and how to connect them.…

Gift cards are the way we go for birthdays. My son has a birthday party today and we give gift cards so kids can get what they want, and we support a local business that the birthday family might not have explored before. We went to Terra Toys this week to get the gift card…
Banana walnut chocolate chip muffins are my favorite way to use older bananas. My husband likes to make a banana milkshake with them. I haven’t found that bananas freeze well for me or I haven’t done it correctly, they’re snotty and then they have a ton of moisture in them when I use them. So…
Kirby Hall School had a great time at Austin Creative Reuse this morning for a field trip. The kids learned about the store and it’s diversion goal, volunteered to sort pencils by temperature: warm, cool and neutral, did a scavenger hunt, and got to tour the space as well as shop! Many parent drivers were…
I swap out books on my vintage brass napkin holders as the season or holiday comes up. Here we’re going from Halloween to Fall. I love the idea of using these vintage napkin or letter holders for this. I got the idea years ago from maybe an influencer using an IKEA product? I’m not sure…
