My full-time job, taking care of the kids, and at the same time keeping the house clean every day force me to develop two very important survival skills. One is multi-tasking, and the other one is time management. Learning how to balance time is crucial, especially for a mom with a toddler and an 8-year old. It takes a lot of analysis, trial and error, at least for me. I guess there are moms out there who are born with talent to organize everything in place with just a snap, and moms like me will wonder ‘How on earth you do that?!’ I feel the need to confess that it took years for me to be able to cope up with ‘Work At Home Mom’ daily tasks. It was never easy. There are a lot of times I feel failed. I just happened to be so lucky to have a very understanding husband who fulfills duties for me when I can no longer function at sometimes. Our monthly income is just enough for our expenses so we cannot afford to rent any house help for now. We can only count on each other when it

Those empty jars from your mayonnaise or spreads are some of those I don't consider as trash. I always love collecting them since it can be upcycled and turn it into a chic storage like what I just did.  I have actually filmed a video on how I did this DIY project , unfortunately, it got deleted along with other important videos in my SD card. I hope the photos are helpful enough to see how I upcycled this cute DIY storage jar. 

Do you happen to have empty jars at home like the powdered coffee or creamer jars? I am pretty sure you have, check your kitchen. If you happen to see one or more you can make use of it, don't just throw away. One of the things I love to repurpose are jars like this since there are bunch of useful things you can make out of it. Repurpose , big word. As we all know, repurposing can help reduce waste, save money and cut the environmental costs of making new items.

Don't throw used carton box because you can still make use of it. I just like to recycle stuff before thinking of throwing them in trash bins.

So this is just a simple DIY project of how to turn your used carton box into a desk organizer!

Some of you might know, I have been working on how to organize my home office eversince late last year. To be honest, I am running out of idea of how I will organize the paper stuff and all the small and big items. I also wanted a small vanity area at my office since I like to fix my face everytime I am feeling so stressed out with my daily activities at home.  So most probably, I am collecting ideas using Mr. Google and looked up on organization ideas to inspire me in designing my home office. And here are some of what I am thrilled of to try getting the idea and incorporate in designing my own home office.

Yesterday, after we went from shopping, I did a little organizing at our bedrooms. I bought two wall clocks for each of our rooms because I thought wall clock is far better option than the small alarm clocks on the tables. You can easily see the time with a wall clock because it is bigger and well positioned on the wall.

Part of my Organization Project is Recycle and Reuse. Recycle, one creative way to turn a garbage into something usable. Very economical, helps reduce garbage.  So for today's project, I thought to turn some piece of garbage into something useful.  You know the SPAM's can? I thought to turn the can into something useful than to throw and add to the trashes in my trash bin. We can always do something useful to cans like this. Just like what I did!
