I’m excited to share that I have partnered with Apartment Guide as an Official Apartment Guide Organizing Blogger! As an official blogger, I will be sharing articles and ideas for exploring your space, city and style over the next few months.

To kick it off, they’ve asked me to share some of my very favorite organizational blogs! Whether you’re done spring cleaning and hoping to keep things organized or you’ve been putting off the task with dread, you are sure to find lots of great inspiration at these sites to get things organized and in order.

I’d love for you to share your favorite organizing blogs in the comments as well!

Small Notebook

Whether you’re looking for quick tips to help you organize a trouble spot or inspiration to live more simply, Rachel at Small Notebook has you covered with posts like these:

Simple Organized Living

There aren’t many people that are more type A and organized than Andrea at Simple Organized Living (who rivals my own type A-ness!), but she shares organizing tips and how-tos in a friendly, helpful manner so that even the type Z among us can enjoy and learn from her posts:

Money Saving Mom

Although Money Saving Mom is primarily a, well, money-saving blog, Crystal also shares a ton of recipes and home management tips and ideas. I’ve especially enjoyed her down-to-earth approach for both of these series:

I’m an Organizing Junkie

Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie is an organizing queen. She’s not only the host of the popular Menu Plan Monday, but I’m pretty sure she can organize anything and make it look pretty in the process:

Apartment Guide

And of course I can’t end without mentioning the Apartment Guide sites! Check out these how-to tips for making the most of a space at MovingToday.com and the Apartment Guide Blog:

You can also follow Apartment Guide through your favorite social media networks (see above) for real-time tips and updates on making the most of your space and living on a budget!

What organizing blogs would you add to the list?

      Thanks, Emily – I haven’t seen Honey and Fitz…checking it out now!

  • Sarah

    I love Small Notebook and have read it for years. And I will definitely check out the others. Do you have any suggestions for organizers that are good for people with ADD? Often, the suggestions of ultra-organized people just do not work for my family. The systems are too hard to maintain and involve too many small details or steps. 

    • http://lifeyourway.net Mandi @ Life…Your Way

      Hmm, that’s a good question, Sarah. I don’t have any suggestions off the top of my head, but I’ve never thought about that before. Let me see what I can come up with!
