That’s right. This seasoning is so simple to make, can be completely customized and always packs a powerful punch of pure tastiness! In fact, this seasoning already has a bit of a reputation, too. We wrapped 30 Mo’ Sizzle Seasoning bottles for Christmas gifts... Read More
Refrigerator Slim Down
By Kelley Kirker, Organizing Contributor Hello, fellow seekers of order! Last time we chatted, the topic was paring down; ditching the “not necessary” in favor of highlighting the “must keeps”. This time, our topic is the kitchen and, even more specifically, the refrigerator. I know… it seems strange, but track with me.

By Heather Moseman, DIY Contributor These clothespins are easy to create, but perhaps best of all, they’re cheap!
