Wanna work with me?

I think that I’ve made it pretty clear that I am busy. Yes, I am fine… now. I did have a few days there where everything just got to be way too much for me and I did feel like I was losing my mind a little, but I think that a little sleep really helps to put things into perspective!

I launched 2 websites on the same day this week, yes, obviously not the best idea that I ever had, but you know… it’s all a learning experience.

What I decided was that I need some assistance right now, so if anyone is good with css, and is interested in some extra work (not a full time job), please email me at info@shaziamistry.com and we can discuss it further.

Introducing the Org Junkie and my reorganized living room

Have you ever heard of the Org Junkie or may be Menu Plan Monday? Well, over the past couple months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura, author of a blog called I’m an Organizing Junkie, which is filled with great tips for making things easier for moms especially.

I have a pretty small house, the main floor has basically 2 rooms, the kitchen and then an open area that functions as the dinning room, living room, family room, play room, tv room, and everything in between! The kids toys were always all over the room, and I hated the fact that we didn’t have a play area set aside for them. I think that I was inspired while working on Laura’s website redesign and I did a little organizing of my own.

I used to have the couches at the back wall, and a big empty area in the middle, so I move up the couches to split the living room a bit and created a tiny play area of the kids. It actually has been working out very well for everyone!

The other storage solutions I’ve had for about the last 3 and a half years, but thought that I would show them anyways…

The TV stand actually houses a lot of our “stuff”, there is a toy box, prayer mats, and the cupboards are home to diapers, wipes, books, playdoh, craft supplies, and many other items that need to be ‘hidden’.

The window seat has little pockets that actually serves as a “garage” for their large planes, trains and automobiles.

I hope that you do check out Laura’s website, I know that you will find her and her tips totally awesome!

Feel like making some street art?

I was doing some stumbling tonight and I found this really cool little web app to create graffiti… I am most likely late to the game, but thought I would share it with those of you who, like me, didn’t hear about it yet! Now, go off and create your own graffiti! Feel free to send me your creations, or leave a comment with the url.
