Stocking Stuffer organizing FREEBIES for my readers!!
In the spirit of Oprah's "Favorite Things" and Ellen's "12 Days of Giveaways"—oh yeah, and that Santa guy, I am joining in the season of giving.
My favorite website for organizing tools and info, Get Buttoned Up, has agreed to offer my readers some FREE stocking stuffers as well as discounts on items from their site.
Click here to shop the website and receive 25% off your purchase of $20 or more (offer good through December 26, '09). Just use code: 25OFF at checkout.
In addition to this discount, STARTING TODAY, I will be offering a giveaway-a-day for the next 6 days. You simply need to follow me on Twitter (YourHomeEditor) and when I post the giveaway for that day, the FIRST person to respond to me (via twitter OR email: ) will receive that day's gift from the kind, awesome folks at Get Buttoned Up. I will reply to you letting you know if you won and post your name through my twitter as well. HINT: I will post that day's prize some time between 8am – 5pm EST (do I sound like a cable installation guy or what? Lol)
Wheeeee. I feel like one of Santa's elves. Here are a few of the very cool stocking stuffers and items we will be gifting:
ButtonedUp.coupons (2 winners)
Make someone feel truly pampered and loved this Holiday. This fun, friendly little coupon book from Buttoned Up® has 20 cleverly illustrated coupons that enable you to lighten the load of someone you love – mom, dad, roommate, or friend. The set includes coupons for everyday tasks like taking out the trash, doing the laundry, and running the errands. Each one is perforated, so you can give one coupon at a time, or the whole book at once.
Greetings.stash
The Greetings.stash™ from Buttoned Up® will make sure you don't come up empty-handed when it counts! This nifty little package of 12 stylishly designed cards (6 birthday, 2 anniversary, 2 thank you, 2 blank) has you covered for birthdays, anniversaries…and any other occasion you can think of.
Birthday.book
The Birthday.book from Buttoned Up® functions as an extended memory bank for all of those people you want to remember on a particular date. Because it's paper-based, it's super-easy to use, and will never go bad or accidentally delete the records.
File.starter
Keeping household paperwork in order should make life easier, not create more work. The File.starter set from Buttoned Up® comes with ten labeled, color-coded, file folders grouped into three simple categories; Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise. Also included are two blank files for you to fill in with whatever suits your needs.
Tax.filer
This pre-labeled accordion file makes it a snap to wrangle all those forms, receipts and records that accumulate like weeds between January and April. Tabs are written in English, not in complicated financial lingo, so it's easy to follow –"Money In," "Money Out," "Money Saved." Use it to go from W-2's to completed returns with sanity intact.
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Favorite Websites
- The Sartorialist
This site appeases my hunger for all things New York, reminds me of my time there, and gives me great ideas for unconventional looks.
- Toffee To Go
They are located in Tampa, very near me, but they deliver/ship nationally. They have THE BEST toffee EVER. It's buttery, salty, sweet--all my favorite things in one bite.
- The Container Store
I know this is a no-brainer for an organizer...but this place really turns me on!
- The Poetry Foundation
- Because I Said So (blog)
As a mom myself, this mom of 6 (!!!) has me in stitches.
- Michael Buble
If I wasn't happily married, I might be stalking him. Bar none, the best voice and best sense of humor!
Quotes That Move Me
- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
"The truth of the matter is, you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it."
- Ivern Ball
"Most of us ask for advice when we know the answer but we want a different one."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The secret of education is respecting the pupil."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."
- Abigail Van Buren
"The best index to a person's character is how he treats another person who can't do him good, and how he treats people who can't fight back."
- Dorothy Galyean
"Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere."
- Aristotle
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
- Mark Twain
"To be satisfied with what one has; that is wealth. As long as one sorely needs a certain additional amount, that man isn't rich."
- Jackie Kennedy
"If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much."
Places I'm Dying to Visit

- Japan
- Alaska (via cruise ship)
- Marbella, Spain
Places I've Already Been
- Australia (Sydney)
- New Zealand
- Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora
- London
- Paris
Spent only one day here (took the Chunnel from London when I was there) but it was one amazing, beautiful day where I walked the flea markets, visited the Louvre, people-watched and used all 6 senses to experience it.
- Trinidad & Tobago
My husband is from here, so we go several times a year to visit family.
- Italy (Milan, Vicenza)
- Jamaica
Things I'd Like To Do Before I Die
- Run a leg with the Olympic torch before the games begin
- See the monarch butterflies migrate to Mexico
- Ride a horse on the beach (in the water)
- See a prize fight (boxing) in Las Vegas
- Run the NYC Marathon
I ran the Disney Marathon in 2000 (pre-kids). Would love to run another post-kids, to prove I can.
- Have washboard abs.
- Eliminate self doubt.
- Own an apartment in Manhattan.
- Watch the ball drop in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
- Take an RV trip down the coast of California.
