Dare You To...

I know my posting has been sporadic at best, lately, but I've happily been keeping busy doing, living, working, enjoying...  It is summer, after all!

What have I been up to?  

Some work...  A little travel...  Plenty of gym time...  Several weddings... A bit of downtime...


It's been fun!  In the back and forth, the work and play, the home and away, having a do-it-all bag has proven essential.  Such a bag is tough to come by.

I used to have a different bag for everything:


They all sort of suited their individual needs well enough... even if they didn't all have satisfactory organizational interiors and my items ended up a mess inside.  Then, a greater problem arose when I needed more than one.  I was a bag lady!


It sort of worked, but hardly well.

Now, if I'm setting out for the day--or the weekend--and need to carry a bit of everything, I can rely onone bag to fit and organize (!) it all.   In my recent gym trips, bus travels, and beyond, I'm glad to have something …

Continuing my dare to do somespring cleaning (yes, long aftersummer began), I'm offering a belated response to a reader question:

"organizing a fridge! i still am not sure i understand the usage for those drawers and where to put things"

Anyone who has had the unfortunate circumstance in which they had to remove all the foods from their refrigerator (say, due to long-term power outages) can attest to the refreshing feeling that comes with having a clean, freshly stocked fridge, in which every item is visible and organized in its place.  But where should everything go when you put it back in?  Does it matter onto which shelf or into which drawer the vegetables, fruits, or yogurts go?  Read more to find out.
