Here are some things that caught my eye this week that I wanted to share with you!

* I love Erin’s meal planning ideas! Because I always seem to get in a rut and I love new food ideas from others :)

* Some great TED podcasts/talks to listen to while you are doing the mundane around the house. Or driving. Or whatever.

* Love this photo gallery from Emily A. Clark. I just bought a whole slew of gallery frames from Target at 70% off that I’m brewing up plans for. I love hers!

We have lived in some tight spaces. Our first was a one bedroom basement apartment,

 

and since then we have bulged some houses right to the seams. Right now we are renting a 3 bedroom duplex while we are building and things are feeling a little uncomfortable again, so I thought I’d share some favorite tricks for squeezing out every inch of space.

10. Under the bed: this is a perfect spot for toys in bins, out of season clothes, suitcases

9. Use vertical space. Think up! Install shelves, find pretty baskets, use the space above your cars in the garage, and in closets.
