It's been awhile since I posted my writing for P&G Everyday's "Home Made Simple" so I thought I would link to a few of my favorite articles.  I think there is some good info and ideas in here, so enjoy! Five Indoor Houseplants You Can't Kill - I know many of you out there feel like you have a black thumb.  Well, you need not fear.  I have tracked down five houseplants that are nearly impossible to kill!  I mean, you could do it if you tried really hard, but...

January is the month of organizing, is it not?  Fresh start, fresh eyes, the holidays and all of the ensuing craziness is behind us, and we want to find a way to make our lives a little easier and a little more calming through...storage solutions.  It sounds a bit silly to type that, but it's true, right?  I have been trying to reorganize one area a week - one drawer, one closet, one little space.  I will share some of these soon, but I thought this week's Pinterest Taught Me How To should include easy, "you could do this in one day" storage solutions.
