How to Store Your Digital Photos Like the Pros Do

January 21 by Kristin

One of the things I've been dying to tackle with Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life is digital photo storage.  I have thousands (maybe even tens of thousands? I'm not sure - I'm too scared to look) of photos currently on my computer.  Not at all organized, not even a little.  I just haven't been sure how to go about it. Then it hit me... I have some stellar professional photographers on my team, why not ask them how they do it?  So today MPMK's own professional photog Kristin is here doing just … [Read more...]

Need a tried-and-true plan for managing all that paperwork that comes in and out of your house, as well as docs you need to keep on hand?  This pretty little box came from Target and has made it's home on our entry table for the last few months.

Kid Activity: Become a Birder for a Day

January 14 by Alli

Today we've got a very sweet playtime activity from our newest contributor, Alli.  I love the dramatic play aspect of this idea and I can see it sparking all kinds of curiosity in my littles.  As is the case with a lot of activities, spend 20 minutes participating with the kids and you should be able to set them loose on their own while you tackle something for Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life. We do theme months at our house, and right now we're in the middle of Sky Month– learning about … [Read more...]

Make It: Pretty Science Snow Balls

January 10 by Jen

We're taking a little break from Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life today and highlighting an intriguing winter science decor project (I think I may have invented a new category of project with that one).  Because the whole point of organizing and simplifying is to have more time to connect with the kids, right?  Take it away Jen... As much as I love January and the fresh beginnings that come with a new year, I'm always a bit sad to watch the Christmas decorations make their way back to … [Read more...]

Book Club: Week 6

January 9 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

First off, a big mea culpa for dropping the ball on our virtual book club.  So sorry guys!  I could fib and say I was saving this chapter for this month but the truth is things got crazy the last few months and stuff like writing my own book got in the way of reading anything else.  Nevertheless, we're back on board now and I'm thinking of picking up every other week again.  How does that schedule work for you all? This week's chapter is so appropriate for POYEL, it's eerie.  Today in our … [Read more...]

What’s Your 2013 Resolution?

January 1 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Happy New Year everyone!  How was your New Year's Eve?  If you're an MPMK facebook fan, then you already know we celebrated with sparkling cider for the kids and a Homeland marathon for us once they were in bed.  We also took a little time to make some resolutions for 2013.  Nothing too astounding - we tried to keep them to a few specific and doable goals. On my list were: preserving memories in a better way (more on my plan later this week) and finding a little time for gratitude and peace … [Read more...]
