Organize Me Pretty

Andrea from Simple Organized Living really broke down the principles of having an organized life in Monday's interview (read it here).

I love the idea of having a wonderfully organized house and life, but when it comes to where the rubber meets the road...well, good intentions sometimes fall a little short. Sometimes we need to take a moment to recognize the importance of organizing our lives. Then we can be motivated to do what it takes. One day I sat down and wrote what organization meant to me, and here it is in short:

Ok, now please allow me to expound:

Organization is more than the sum of our orderly cupboards, drawers, and other spaces. It is the careful and precise preparation of our spaces, of creative solutions, of determined efforts, and all our habits in a way that leads to the cultivation of good time management, financial responsibility, the best parenting we have to offer, healthy living, and accomplishment of that which makes our lives, and the lives of those we touch, just that much better. 

Clearly I can't wait to share all my organizing endeavors, I started an entire blog just to share! *wink* But I won't take up this  post sharing my organized spaces and habits, you'll see enough of that every week! However I want to do something extra special for this link up. Today is more than a link challenge, it is going to be a link round-up!!! 

I have started it out by linking up a few of my favorite organization tips and spaces from around the web!
