Product Review-Personalized Decals

I was contacted by Kidecals to do a review of their awesome decals. These decals are neat because they "stick to any surface – including clothes – and are waterproof, dishwasher & washing machine safe! Stick these personalized kids name labels & kids name tags on easily lost items such as water bottles and mittens so they get quickly returned! With over 80 decal and label designs to meet trends and interests, there is a style of personalized labels for everyone – even grownups! "

They are PVC free and can be removed or repositioned. I really love their Computer keyboard stickers they make a laptop more personalized and just so much more fun!

They have awesome designs for boys, girls, kids and even adults!

These are the ones I had made for our family. I chose the surf theme since it's my husband's favourite hobby and can be used by the girls and boys in our family. The big ones are about 2" and the smaller ones are 1". (I blurred the number out so strange people don't call me lol)


My husband was pretty excited and put a small one right on his surfboard. The cool thing is they are waterproof so it will stay on there a good long while.

Recycling cans into pretty containers

We love to do crafts at our house, and as a result we have lots of art/craft supplies. Currently they are a bit out of control. I'm working on getting them organized, but at the moment there is no money in our budget for new organizers. The girl's markers were in a big ziplock bag and they were were constantly fighting over the bag. The markers would also tend to roll out of the bag, off the table and onto the floor making a big mess. I found a tin that was the perfect size for thier tall markers.


 I took a sheet of artsy scrapbook paper and used spray adhesive to glue it to the can. It was very easy and works so much better!

                                Pretty neat huh? Now I'm off to find a can for thier short markers.

Organizing the Medicine Cabinet

You may have noticed a new section on my blog titled "Organizing". Organizing is a passion of mine and I thrive in an organized, uncluttered environment. I will be posting organizing tips and showing you how I organized sections of my home.

For my first organizing post, I organized my medicine cabinet.

Before
This cabinet has given me a headache for a while. Everything is sort of thrown in there and its hard to see what we have.
 

 
I took our trial size packs and loose pills and put them in a small container.


I organized the top shelf with supplements on the left and outdoor things on the right. I made labels for the shelf as well.

 
On the bottom shelf I took a large desk organizer for kids meds and two small pencil organizers for adult meds and first aid.

And there you go, so much neater!
