Get your Car Organized for Summer Adventures

by Tazim Damji

Get your car organized for summer adventures

The mention of the word summer conjures up all kinds of wonderful associations—beaches, fields to run through, yummy food, road trips, and time spent with friends and family. Summer is a time of spontaneity for me. I like to keep my schedule light so that I can throw a few things in the trunk and be off on a summer adventure on short notice. I like to think that I'm a fairly organized person, yet every summer, my trunk ends up looking like a disheveled mess! I recently spent some time ...

Home Office Essentials

by Tazim Damji

Home Office Essentials

Despite having an online business and only working with people virtually, I do like to have all the essentials in my home office—physically. Here's a secret to start off the post: I really like paper. I've tried to go paperless, and still do scan in everything important, but I find that things stick in my mind more when I write them down. Every single instrument or product I use in my home office is carefully chosen. I have an open-concept living room/home office/dining room so there's no ...

3 Tools I use to Connect with Other Entrepreneurs

It can be lonely working for yourself. In an office environment, there are many other people around to bounce ideas off of, have lunch with, and chat with around the coffee machine. But, when I am working from home and get into a groove, it can be an entire day (or two) before I connect with other people. Outside of working in a co-working space (where there are desks and other office supplies set up so that people can come in and work - similar to what they'd do in an office at a regular job), ...

How the IoT Helps Homeowners Know how Quickly They run out of Groceries

This is a sponsored post but all opinions are 100% my own. When I first heard about smart refrigerators, I didn’t know what to make of them. My fridge at home is a disorganized mess and I never seem to know what I am out of when I’m at a grocery store. Smart refrigerators can help homeowners with some of their kitchen problems. Several features of smart refrigerators will help homeowners organize the contents of their fridge. Homeowners will also know when they run out groceries. The ...

How to Get your Home Ready for Holiday Entertaining

OR: I Should Have Bought a Bigger Tree I am working with Kohler Canada to share my tips on how to get your home ready for holiday entertaining. I was also provided products from Indigo. I hope you'll like my tips and that they'll help you this holiday season!   When I was younger and still lived at home with my family, preparing the home for guests was always a stressful time.

Maybe you had an amazing vacation this year - wouldn't the pictures from your once-in-a-lifetime trip look awesome in a layflat photo book on your coffee table?

DYMO® LabelManager™ 160P Label Maker

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Newell Rubbermaid®. The opinions and texts are all mine. With so many new things starting in the fall—like new courses I'm taking, increased blogging opportunities, and being home more often than I have been throughout the summer—I'm preparing for fall in my kitchen now. While back-to-school season and getting ready for fall usually means organizing an office area (which I have already done), I want to share what I've been doing ...
