Project 5 Here to Help by Jen KEEP IT TOGETHER Need help getting organized? Ask Jen at jlsevern@yahoo.com KEEP IT TOGETHER Here is a simple rule I've learned in organizing, KEEP IT TOGETHER. Keep like objects in the same place neatly stored. I am completely guilty of having scissors in 10 different places in my house and I can never find any of them, so I buy more! I have started using this KEEP IT TOGETHER rule and it's revolutionizing my spaces. Here we created a place for all of our cords. One is for our apple devices and the other is for our extension cords. The extension cord bin is in the garage and the apple cords are in the media room. Now when I find a random charger it gets wrapped up and put in this bin. If we need an extension cord we know where to find it. You will find as you begin to implement this strategy you will discover you have more than you thought. I have learned I may never need to buy tape again! Happy organizing! "Mom, I can'...

We threw a simple family birthday bash for grandma! We had a blast and the place looked fun and festive. I love my mother-in-law and father-in-law like they were my own! JOY!! GETTING READY: I bought cup cakes from a local bakery. I use SweetCakes . If you are close you should buy them from her. They are amazing every time. Grandma said she liked white and dark chocolate so we choose her Tuxedo Cup Cakes. They have chocolate cake, topped with chocolate ganache, and white chocolate icing topped with shaved chocolate. They were to die for! Not only that but they look beautiful. A beautiful dessert serves as a sweet celebratory treat as well as a decoration! We added a few streamers, balloons and tissue poofs. We also put kazoos and horns on the table. I added in a flower arrangement and the room was set. WHAT TO EAT? I made her famous pasta sauce. It's a bit of work, but a family favorite. We all indulged on our love for grandma and celebrated her in style. ASK FOR HELP...

PROJECT DETAILS: My mom's real estate broker asked her to add center pieces to her tables that were bright in color. After a few long days of prep work, I asked my mom how I could help? She needed me to go to the store and buy the flowers and arrange them. She knew she wanted to include sun flowers in the arrangement. She also asked me to buy fruit for her fruit basket to make it full of color. I was happy to help! Check out how it turned out! I choose these flowers for the arrangements full of amazing color. These turned out incredible. I used a variety of sun flowers, daisies and greens to fill these vases. When we were looking for a vase I saw she had these hurricane ...

BEE UPDATE When life gives you Bees, make honey! Despite all our best attempts, the queen is procreating in the column on our back deck. The next step is we will have to take the brick and siding off the column, remove the hive, clean it out, put it back together and seal it with the hopes that they will enjoy having a hive in a more traditional place, like the tree out back. Did you know that the queen can have 50 baby bees a day? It's happening. The Bee Keeper will make another attempt to coerce the queen Wednesday. Stay tuned. When life gives you bees, make honey. Anyone know how I can fix a honey tap into my column.
