Budget
I have a love/hate relationship with budgeting. It's not particularly fun for me to budget, but I love the peace of mind it gives me when I need to spend money on something. Starting out, we used the envelope system. Every paycheck, I'd go to the ban...
Since, we've graduated to YNAB and we're loving it.
I used these to divide my home binder into different sections. They work great and are sturdy.
KTRIO 8 Tab Binder Dividers with Pockets
I used these in my home binder to keep multiple documents relating to an item (ie fireplace, roof, paint colors) together or things together that I don't want to hole punch.
Vobou 12 Pack Plastic Envelopes Clear Binder
The binder I use for organizing all of my home documents (ie roof warranty, paint colors, hoa info, mortgage info, any remodeling info). It's not pretty, but it works great!
Five Star Xpanz Zipper Binder, 2" Round Rings, 380 Sheets, Gray (28090HX9)
If you're aesthetically driven and are trying to manage your budget better, I highly recommend this budget binder and envelopes. This has helped us tremendously. We know where our money is going, it helps us stay on the same page, and we no longer fe...
A6 Budget Binder | Binder & Custom Envelopes Bundle | Cash Stuffing Starter Kit | Croc Design | Cash Budgeting System
It's the aesthetics for me! There's nothing wrong with using the paper bank envelopes, so use those if you like!
Bank Teller Pouch | Cash Withdrawal Envelope | Cash Stuffing | Cash Budgeting System
A teller slip that's reusable!? Yes, please! When the teller would ask how I want the cash, I'd say “IDK, some 20's, 10's, 5's, and 1's…I guess”. Then I'd end up with a bunch of small bills and a packed wallet. This makes me feel organized and prepar...
Plastic reusable Teller Slip | Cash Withdrawal | Cash Breakdown | Budget System
Matte envelopes. The perfect size for holding cash for the cash budgeting system.
Custom A6 MATTE Envelopes | Cash Envelopes | Cash Stuffing | Cash Budgeting System
This is so handy when using the cash budgeting system. It helps me keep track of the spending for each budget section.
Cash Tracker | A6 Envelope Inserts | Cash Stuffing | Cash Budgeting System
Recently, we switched from a cash/envelope budgeting system to electronic based. After downloading multiple apps and disliking them all, we landed on YNAB. It met all of our criteria and are really happy with it.
You can sync your credit card and bank accounts to the app so it will download the transactions which you can then categorize into your different budgets. When you receive income, you allocate it to your different budgets. Plus, you can budget with a...
The app has way more to offer than what I mentioned. If you're wanting to get out of debt, pay off a loan, or want to take control of your finances, I would highly recommend checking out YNAB.

Trying to keep our home organized. :)
OK, so I haven't purchased this book yet, but I currently have it borrowed from my local library and I didn't realize I've been looking for a book like this my whole adult life. It guides you on how to care for every part of your home.
This book is like an encyclopedia, chocked full of information. For anyone that wants to level up their homekeeping, this book is for you!

Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook
This has helped us with bathroom and nightstand drawer organization. They have grips on the bottom that prevent the organizers from moving around when you open and shut the drawers. They've been really nice for both of us as it helps my husband have ...
Vtopmart 44 PCS Clear Plastic Drawer Organizers
Definitely will need this in our new place. We have very limited storage compared to what we're coming from and I'm looking for all the space saving, organization possibilities!
YouCopia StoreMore Expandable Cookware Rack | Williams Sonoma
This is nice for when you don't have a deep corner cabinet for a big ole lazy suzan to store spices in. I started out with one of those tiered spice racks and really disliked it. I couldn't see the spice labels and kept knocking spices over when reac...
So far, I like how this has been working for us. It does feel a bit flimsy on the top layer, but it's holding up! And, I like how the middle of the rack can be used for taller items.

Stuff we're using to keep our garage organized. :)
I bought these for use of organizing our deep freezer. I was finding it difficult to keep track and find things in our deep freezer and had been searching for a solution. We tried keeping a running list of things in there by checking off what was use...
ZHJINGYU Plastic Collapsible Storage Crates, 2-pack
These are nice for organizing shelves with like items. I was having a hard time reaching something from the back of the shelf without having to move everything to get it. They're sturdy, so they can hold heavy items. They also collapse, so if they're...
Hommp 4-Pack 15L Collapsible Storage Crates
Just got these cabinets for our garage. I really like that they're on wheels, so they're easy to move around if needed (especially when you have limited space) and they keep your items clean and pest free!
UltraHD Tall Storage Cabinet - 2 Pack
We've had this rack for 8 years. It's moved with us from Jacksonville, FL to our first home and now to our current place. It's held up soooo well and is great for storing whatever you need.
6-Tier Commercial Grade Heavy Duty Steel Wire Shelving Unit in Chrome (48 in. W x 72 in. H x 18 in. D)
We have two of these shelves. They used to be in our basement for storing canned goods and one was used as a growing station for plant starts. They work great and it's nice that the shelves aren't wired for storing smaller items so they don't get cau...
5-Tier Heavy Duty Steel Garage Storage Shelving Unit in Black (48 in. W x 72 in. H x 24 in. D)
We're using these large heavy duty totes to store some of the items that we don't quite reach for enough to keep them on shelves and to store memorabilia--stuff from when we were children, our wedding, and trips/date nights that we've taken.
27 Gal. Tough Storage Tote in Black and Yellow
Just got this for our garage. Really looking forward to having an organized tool station and work bench. It also has an adjustable height so it makes it really nice to work on!
