What to Pack in Your Hospital Bag

by Caton October 29, 2014 ~ 5 Comments

Because I was pregnant with twins, I packed my hospital bag when I was 28 weeks along. I knew that I would probably give birth early. I just didn’t know how early. Because I wanted to have everything settled, organized, and ready to go, I started washing and packing like the crazy pregnant woman that […]

How To Organize Your Desk

by Caton October 22, 2014 ~ 15 Comments

My desk is the first thing you see when you walk in my apartment door. It’s long, narrow, and a crisp white color so everything is reflected off of its surface. It tends to get cluttered easily. Since I’m in charge of paying bills, running three blogs, and taking care of things like thank you […]

Are you late? So late? For a very important date?

by Caton October 13, 2014 ~ 18 Comments

It’s been about two months since I’ve moved and had a whole new life to adjust to. Things are stable for me at the moment, but my husband, on the other hand, has a different schedule every week. It’s actually really great for him, but some weeks he’s had to leave home at 5 a.m. […]

Do You Need a Paper Planner Anymore?

by Caton October 1, 2014 ~ 12 Comments

If there’s one thing Natalie has taught me in the time I’ve known her, it’s that I have to kick my paper planner to the curb. It’s kind of like the death of a friend, though. I always looked forward to buying paper planners at the beginning of every school year. I took great pleasure […]

You say potato. I say po-tah-toe. You call it excessive. I call it organized. We can agree to disagree, right? Or maybe I can convince you that we don’t need to disagree at all. See, I’ve been laughed at by many a friend who has seen my closet. They weren’t chuckles of disbelief at a […]

How to Set Up a Family Binder

by Caton September 10, 2014 ~ 16 Comments

When I lived in Grenada, I relied on my family binder for everything. Because we were living out of the country, we needed to keep all of our important information in a safe, secure spot. We kept things like our lease, receipts for our monthly rent payments since everything was in cash (!), and customs and health […]

Limit Your Packing and Moving Stress with 5 Tips

by Caton September 8, 2014 ~ 16 Comments

So you’re moving- now what? It went from, “Yay! We’re moving!” to you looking around the house at your possessions thinking, “Ugh. We’re moving.” I went through that about a month and a half ago. As my husband progressed to the next phase of his medical education we learned we’d be moving to Brooklyn… in […]

Communication Saves Relationships Like Punctuation Saves Lives

by Caton August 25, 2014 ~ 8 Comments

What does punctuation have to do with today’s post? Luckily for you I’m not writing SAT test questions or talking about technical grammar. But seriously, I love this meme, and I actually think it’s applicable (Mostly. Sort of. Okay, it’s a stretch.) to what I’m talking about. I’m talking about organizing schedules of multiple family […]
