Okay, so today's post isn't about my kids. It's not about something fun we've done, it's not about how much I love them, which I could really write for days about that! Today's post is about a few things I've noticed about home organization blogs.
As I've mentioned a time for twenty, I really like Pinterest. I love thinking outside of the box, and I love getting ideas from other's who think like me, which is exactly what Pinterst is! Anywho! If you've looked through the home organization boards on Pinterest, I'm sure you've got some great ideas! I'm a little OCD, when my kids allow it. But let me tell you, those home organization boards make me look pretty loosey goosey. I have noticed a few things though, and the more blogs and pins I look through, the truer it becomes!
The first thing I notice is these people really like white! The walls, the furniture, the accessories. It's mind blowing to me. These people appear to have kids, how do you have a white couch? Again, I like things neat and put away, but if I had a white couch, it would look tie dye within 24 hours. Next, everyone seems to have a Mac. Either a Mac Book or a desk top version. I chalk this up to the fact that they're white. You rarely see anyone with a Toshiba or Dell on these site. I also think they keep the good people at Staples employed. They seem to have a large number of binders, page protectors, coloured pens, page dividers, and of course, INK for all those lists they print. I'm not knocking them. I love me a good list, but I really don't need to write down to shower in the morning. Lastly, they all seem to use Shaklee and Thirty-One. Which I get! I love green cleaning and I love matchy matchy organization.
Disclaimer** I'm not disrespecting anyone who does do things this way. I'm just saying, paint a room red and see how happy it makes you ;)
