Spring seems to be the season where everyone decides to get his or her act together. Maybe it’s the birds chirping or the flowers blooming – but for some reason…we all want to clean something during this time of renewal. So with that in mind – I’m teaming up with KnockKnockStuff.com to help you do it with a FREE “Spring Organizing Kit.”

KnockKnockStuff.com sells unique and fun list paper, organizational products and gifts. It’s a really great place to find ways to stay productive and not take yourself too seriously. I’ve been buying their stuff for years.
Pinterest.com has become one of my latest addictions. It’s like visual list making! If you don’t have an account yet – it’s by invitation only. So follow me and I’ll invite you – you’ll be up and pinning in no time!
Both equal in their fabulousness, I decided to bring them all together for a fun contest! The winner of which will win these fabulous prizes:
• Things to Do Around the House Pad

Never Lose A Receipt Again!
With this post I’m going to share two of my new favorite things. An organizing app called Lemon and a fabulous website I’ve just found called Digitwirl.com. I’ve mentioned Lemon before in my posts about must-have apps. It’s a great way to keep track of all your paper receipts and go digital! No more clutter and you will always know just where to find every receipt.
Digitwirl.com is a really great site that dishes on new technology to make your life easier — just like Lemon. Carley Knobloch features apps, websites and products in a fun and useful way. Check out Carley’s take on Lemon!
