Jewelry Organizer

I came across this idea on my nieces blog and I just absolutely love it!

I have gone through so many different jewelry boxes and I can never seem to get them organized how I like them.  Either there's too much space or not enough, but this idea is just perfect!!

To find out how to make them exactly as picture shows click on the following link: Cork Board Jewelry Organizer .  To make it a little easier, is to purchase an already put together board from Target. Don't forget to purchase push pins of your choice!

I can not wait to do this and hang in our room, I have the best location in mind!

Write it down...

Sometimes being a parent and/or wife can be very stressful, but we don't always get to say how we really feel.  Whether it's to be nice or not start an arguement etc...we sometimes hold it in.  Whatever that reason may be, it's not good to keep it in so, I have a solution!

A Journal...

I have been using a journal for quite some time now and I have to be honest, even if I tell my husband or friends how I'm feeling sometimes I don't get it all out.  So I write it down and I feel so much better!  No matter what I write, I don't have to worry that I'll be told I'm wrong for feeling that way or feel judged in way! 

 It's a great way for me to relieve a lot of stress and I hope it can help you too!!
