Welcome!
I am so excited you are here!
I dreamed this site up last year, and I am thrilled that it is finally LIVE.
My desire to start this blog is a result of my own need for organization in my life.
I used to pride myself in being a very organized person. However one husband and four sons later, I can no longer claim that title.
But I am determined to be an organized person once again! My inspiration comes from all over blogland. I am amazed by all of the great projects that bloggers share of how they have organized their lives. Many of those ideas have been implemented in my own home, and I am so grateful.
I wanted one central place to collect all of these great ideas, thus was born Organize and Inspire.
I am hoping to spotlight great organizing ideas that will inspire others to get organized as well!
Each post will include a brief description of the project and a link to the original source.
Here’s the good news! If you are a blogger and you have an organization project that you want to share with others, you can submit it here. Just click on the button in the navigation bar to do so!
I would love for you to subscribe to Organize and Inspire either through a reader or email, and follow O and I on Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest. I would also greatly appreciate if you helped me spread the word about this new site through a tweet, a facebook share, or a shout out in a post.
As a way to say thanks, I am giving away TWO $100 Visa Gift Cards to two lucky new Organize and Inspire subscribers. Who doesn’t need $100 with the holidays quickly approaching?!
You can enter through rafflecopter below.

This giveaway will end on October 14th, and the winners will be contacted and announced on October 15th.
Good luck!
With all that you do, I don’t know HOW you could be organized Traci!
I wish you oodles of luck with this new blog, and your challenge to get/stay organized. It comes naturally to some people… I am NOT one of those people.

I’m an organized mess, Gail.
Does that count?
Look at you– this makes me do one great big smile! YOU GO Girl! I am behind ya smiling from ear to ear– love what you are doing…. and oh boy do I ever need some organizing in my life!
Well, it blesses my heart to think you are smiling for me! Thank you so much! That is such an encouragement to me.
I, too, was always organized even with one child. However, last May when son, grandson and grandson’s mom moved in with me all organization went out the window! Most days not even sure where my head is! This new blog is a great idea, Traci! Looking forward to all to come!
Thank you, Guerrina! I hope you find your head soon.
hee.hee.
Even more than the Visa gift card, I NEED TO GET ORGANIZED! And THIS is the place!
Me too, Jan! We’ll get organized together.
So happy about your new site. I need a lot of organizing tips.
Thank you so much, Debbie! I hope you find this site useful.
Glad I found your site. I really need help being organized. Thanks
Great! Thank you for following along!
Congratulations on your new site!! I know you must be pretty well organized to do all that you do!!
Good luck.
Judy
Boy, I have you fooled, Judy.
I guess you could say I’m an organized mess. hee.hee.
My house is a disaster. Between a full-time job, graduate school, and raising my family, I need a maid! But of course, that isn’t reality so I just do as much as I can. Some days, I’m doing really well if a load of laundry and a sink of dishes get done. Can’t wait to see how this website can help me and others!
Congrats on the new site!
Oh my, Erin! Your plate is so full! “One day at a time” is my motto.
I hope this website brings you some ideas that are useful for you.
I need a blog like this to help me! So excited for you.
Ah, thank you for being excited for me.
Bless you!
Congratulations on your new website! I’m looking forward to reading it!
Thank you so much!! xoxo
I need this site! Thanks for the help.
You are welcome! Thank YOU!!
Congratulations! I used to be more organized too, so this will help me get back on track. Best wishes.
Yay! We can do it, Mary!
Ooh, I need to get organized. I am going to follow along and see if I can’t get myself in shape.
Thank you for following, Marin!
Congrats on the new site! I need help organizing so I can’t wait for future posts!
Thank you, Jackie! We will get organized together!
I need this in my life! Good luck with your newest venture!
Thank you so much, Jamie!

A big, huge congratulations, Traci! This is great news! And of course I’m following; I need all the help I can get in this area.
Thank you so much, Rachel!
Wow Traci, and I thought you were busy before~
I am in the midst of doing over my craft room downstairs in the basement (it has windows… thank God). For some reason I am having a hard time picking out organization inspiration…. Hope you can help me!
Oh Great! I hope my new site helps you with your craft room.
I totally understand, it’s s struggle to stay organized with my three boys, excited to follow your new site!
Thank you so much, Melissa!
Looks like a blog I’ll need to read! Thanks for starting it and for the giveaway!
Thank you, Annette!
Good luck with the new blog!
Thank you!
Oh my goodness!!! There must be an epidemic – I just re-committed to becoming organized, myselfl! Great minds run in the same organized circles! LOL
Thank you so much for your timing and your efforts.
Let’s get organized together!!
I am so excited about your new blog. I also was once an organized person, and I don’t have four children to keep me from being that away again. It’s just the hubby and me at home and I’m not doing well at all with organizing. I follow you daily on Beneath My Heart.
Bertie, thank you so much for following me daily on Beneath My Heart. What a blessing!
I’m looking forward to your new blog! Who doesn’t need help with organization?
Amen, sista!

I’m giving a shout out on my FB page to all my friends & family.
It will be fun to see what you do.
Congrats on the new blog!!
Ah, thanks for sharing, Tanja!
Look at you go girl!!!! Not only do I unorganized but a slacker-you have two blogs, teaching, and the hustle and bustle of 4 handsome boys. You were a huge inspiration to me and still continue to be even though we are hundreds of miles apart. Looking forward to getting organized with you!
Ha! It’s all an act.
hee.hee. I’m not teaching anymore, so don’t put me up on that pedestal quite yet.
Wish we weren’t so far apart. Hope you and your sweet family are doing well.
Love you!
Congrats Traci! This is so cool…we all could use some inspiration to get organized. Can’t wait to see all you will be blogging about, how exciting :0)!!!
Thank you so much!
Love organizing!! Glad to be a subscriber!
Great! Thank you for subscribing!
Congrats on your new blog! I too would like to get completely organized, so I will be eagerly following along.
Thank you for following!
I’m always looking to improve organizing; thanks for taking this on; good luck. since you are already doing one blog #2 should be a breeze.
Thank you, Carol! It is a lot easier started a second blog after blogging for almost 5 years. I wish I knew then what I know now.
I have decided I need to get organized too and have started baby steps, so looking forward to what you have to share.
Great! We will take baby steps together!
Wow Traci, I don’t know how you do it all, but how exciting and fun! Look forward to reading your posts at Organize and Inspire!!
Thank you so much, Lisa!
Excited for you, and me! Great idea!
Thank you, Mary!
Good luck girlfriend! You are one BUSY lady…not sure how you do all you do!
xoxo
Ha! I need it!
With three boys myself, a full-time job and a full-time student, this will definitely help me out! I need help organizing my home! I spend a lot of time at my work office so that is very neatly organized but my home, not so much! Excited about your new site!
Oh wow! I don’t know how you do it all! When I was a teacher, my classroom was always more organized than my home. I am hoping to make my home more organized now too.
You go girl!! I’m so proud of you! I love organization so I’m definitely
Going to follow you. Best wishes dear sista!!
Thank you so much, sweet Lisa!
I love your other blog so I know I’ll love this one! Good luck!
Ahhh, Thank you, Carrie!
I really do love reading about getting myself and my family organized. It all looks so very doable on paper and in my head. I just can not get the omph to get up and do it. I hope that this site gives me a boost. I too used to be very very put together. But then right in the middle of all of my pretty little put together life, I found a wonderful Prince Charming and his 3 little Charmers in training. Yep in training to make a mess here and a mess there. I have now turned into Cindy minus the ugly Stepsisters….HELP!!!
Oh, Sara, I know how you feel! I have so many ideas in my head, but they don’t always get finished. I’m hoping to find a few good projects that I can implement and that will really help me and my family.
This is something that is right up my alley… I love to be organized and this idea is perfect… I don’t have a blog but do you think it would work for me in my everyday life?
Absolutely! I hope it helps everyone, not just bloggers.
Looking forward to your new site!!
Thank you, Martha!
Our house looks very organized but looks can be deceiving! I cringe if anyone opens a drawer or cabinet. Best of luck with this new blog and I am now following.
Best,
Sherry
Ha, That’s funny! That would describe my house too! I don’t want to just look organized, I want to BE organized.
You are amazing, how you are going to find time for another blog is beyond me but I am so happy you will because you are covering my favorite thing, Organization! Good Luck and wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
Thank you for your well wishes.
I’m not sure how I’m gonna do it all too, but I’m looking forward to lots of organizing inspiration! Bless you!
Way to go Traci!!! How exciting!!! I’ve been waiting for today to see what your announcement would be! How cool!!! Looking forward to getting organized!!! Thanks so much girl!!!
Thanks, Betsy! Miss you!
OH I AM JUST DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!!!! I AM GONNA GET SOME HELP GETTING ORGANIZED!
WOOO HOOO!!!
Marilyn C.
I’m dancing with you, Marilyn!! Should we do the cha-cha or the samba?!
Good luck on your new site! I could use some tips on organizing!
Thank you so much!
My house is beyond a disaster!! It is paralyzing! I don’t know where to begin. Hope you can help.
Traci! What an awesome idea! I am so excited about this site. Who doesn’t want to become more organized?! I know I do!! Congratulations – can’t wait to follow your posts.
Can I send a pic of my basement and/or upstairs? I need to declutter as we are retiring to Fla in the next year . Twenty yrs of junk cannot make the move!!
We are a family of five living in a two bedroom condo while we renovate a house. It has definitely been difficult to stay organized.
We only have two boys…I don’t know how you do it with four. The sports alone would throw my schedule out of wack!
Congrats…I too am a very organized person and can’t wait to see what rolls out of your blog.
Congratulations on your new blog Traci!! I am a loyal Beneath My Hearth subscriber and now Organize and Inspire. I can’t think of anyone who could not benefit from some helpful tips on getting more organized.I have always been very organized, then I went back to work full time after being home with the kids for 15 years. I’m not quite as organized as I once was, however I think you may be helping me in that department. So happy for you and your success, you truly deserve it. Thanks for sharing my early morning coffee with me each week day before getting ready for work, it’s a great way to start the day. Many blessings to you and your sweet family..
I can’t imagine how you can possibly do more than you do already, but if anyone can it’s you. I’ve been enjoyed all the great ideas, pics and loggers you’ve shared already. I’ll be stalking your blogs.
Hugs…T
Oh’ thanks for the chance win your awesome giveaway too!!
I’m PRETTY organized….but always like to see new tips.
I truly need all the help I can get in becoming more organized at work and at home!!
Congratulations on your new site! Love “Beneath My Heart”, so I know this one will be just as “inspirational”.
Great idea! I think I’m the least organized person alive. When I do try to whip things in shape I just get so overwhelmed. If you saw my basement you’d faint dead away!
Lately I’ve been telling myself that maybe I should just accept the fact that I’m organizationally challenged when it comes to my home. Other areas in my life aren’t like that, which seems weird.
Soooo…I will be checking out your ideas! Maybe there’s hope for me yet.
Maggie
So excited for you, Traci, and it can only benefit me! Looking forward to the new tips!
So excited about your new website Traci! And it’s perfect timing, right here at the beginning of the holiday season when we all need to end the year organized (and inspired!) Congratulations my friend xo
thank you so much for this great giveaway – you are such an inspiration and wow how do you do it all…..you impress me and are a beautiful person inside and out (and I haven’t even been blessed to meet you but I know this
Traci, I am beyond thrilled to read this great news about your new blog on organizing!! I am somewhat (eyes rolling) OCD, and LOVE organizing my home!! Oftentimes the clutter gets out of hand and it drives me nuts!!! But once I get things ‘back in order’ I can relax and breathe a sigh of relief… A clean, organized home gives me the ultimate satisfaction! There’s just something rewarding about it. I guess that is the OCD in me. Anyway, I’m so excited for your new adventure and don’t want to miss a thing.
I’ve read every one of your blogs since discovering you sometime last year. I feel as if I know you and your family!
And you’re ‘Good People’!!
Congratulations on your new blog! I’ve gotten so much inspiration from your other blog…so I can’t wait to be inspired to be organized
Best wishes for your new site! I’ll be following along as I’m hoping to declutter and organize, too!
Congratulations Traci. I have been following your Beneath my Heart blog for a couple of years now and love it and I know I will love your new blog as much, my best wishes to you. I am so excited for you!
So excited about your new adventure. Can’t wait for new tips. I NEED!!! organization too! Both of my children (one got married, and the other bought her first home) moved out within two weeks of each other and I’m a bit overwhelmed. Can I rent a backhoe for the stuff they left behind????
I love following you on Beneath My Heart so naturally, I will follow you on Organize and Inspire! Besides, I can use lots of help in getting more organized. =)
I think I’m going to love this blog. I love to READ about organizing tips!teresa

Looking forward to following your new blog!
I am excited for you! Wow, two blogs; I just started my first, and it is a LOT of work to keep up (I’m in my first week, though). I am looking forward to more of your insights and can always use help getting organized:) Congratulations!
