I love to love Real Simple Magazine!  What  a treat when it comes in the mail!  It never dissapoints!  It’s always full of great tips, easy recipes, fun gift ideas, and affordable fashion trends.  My favorite articles are always about organizing!  I just got my November issue and it’s huge!  Can’t wait to dive in!

I love to love my Elfa Mesh File Cart!  I bought this a few years ago, and I love it!  It literally contains my entire mobil home office.  Working entirely from home in a one bedroom apartment, I need to be organized-so I don’t loose my mind!  This guy is the ticket.  I have a small desk that this slides right underneath.  It holds everything I need for my businesses and it’s on wheels in case I feel like working from the couch.  Plus Elfa products are very durable.  I couldn’t live without this thing.  I bought mine at the container store (right now, it’s on sale).

I love to love Hallmark Fresh Ink and RED cards!  I love sending cards in the mail!  I think it’s a special treat to send and receive mail in today’s world of text, email, and Facebook.  What’s better than going to your mailbox and finding a greeting card addressed to you?!  What I love about the Fresh Ink line and RED line is they’re modern, well designed, and simply stated.  They have a card for every occasion, and I always find just what I am looking for.  Also, the RED line supports the Global Fund that helps fight AIDS in Africa-very cool. Today I was in Hallmark buying a card and found out the TRAGIC news that both of these lines are discontinued already or are on their way out.  Fresh Ink cards have been discontinued for TWO years!  Where have I been?!?!  So basically any Fresh Ink cards you find are the last available that they have in stock.  Looks like I am going to need to start stock piling!!!!  I guess the same thing is about to happen to the RED line!  So heads up everybody, grab the Fresh Ink and RED cards while you can!!!!!!!

I can’t believe this waited until #37…..because, I LOVE TO LOVE my Franklin Planner ALOT!  My little black binder holds my life….my schedule, my phone numbers and addresses, my to-do lists, important notes, it’s all in there.  I was first introduced to this revolutionary idea by my father-in-law before I headed off to college.  I have been using the same binder since I was 18 and it still looks like new!  I know many of you have upgraded to an electronic day keeper, but not me!  I love the paper and pencil method.  Something about writing something down helps me to remember. Each year, I go pick out new refills to put in my cute black leather binder.  They have lots of themes to pick from and different layouts to choose from.  It is one of my most favorite things to do every November.  I look forward to the day that I hand transfer all of the important dates from one year to the next.  I love looking back at last year and remembering major milestones, birthday, anniversaries.  And I love looking forward to all the great events coming up next year. Nothing beats a Franklin Planner, no ICal, no Palm Pilot, no IPhone, nothing; well, for me at least. :)

Oh how I LOVE TO LOVE Target! Let me count the ways…….. There are so many fabulous things about this store I thought I would make each of them a separate love to love it post. Let’s call it a LOVE TO LOVE IT Target week! The first thing I would like to highlight is the Target Dollar Spot! This is not your average dollar store finds, they always have fun-little-can’t live without-goodies. My personal favorite find here is all of the fun “Office” stuff they had this fall. Great Dunder Mifflin post-it notes, and notepads. You can’t beat that people. The dollar spot rocks!

This Love to Love it is a direct shout out to my husband…..Oh, how I love to love my adorable white mac book!  I never thought a computer could change you life, until I met the mac.  This little guys allows someone like me (not very technically inclined) to create a DVD photo slide show with ease, create a professional looking news letter for my business in minuets, organize my pictures into “events”, organize my music by playlists, video chat with my husband while we are at work, and have a fun photo booth at my “office premier party.”  Seriously, a computer can change your life!

And just as a side note-Sam-Jason-Avin, I don’t want to hear anything about how I spilled juice all over my first mac book and ruined it….we all know what happened there, no need to re-live that exciting time!  So save your comments for small group.

label-maker.jpgI really love to love my Dymo label maker!  This little guy is awesome!  I use it to label all of my files and storage boxes.  Being a professional organizer, I know this seems like an obvious love to love it item, but for anyone looking for a fun Saturday afternoon-this is your ticket.  Nothing brings me joy like when this little guy shoots out a perfectly printed label ready to give organization to any project!  Happy labeling!

pen.jpgI love to love Pilot G-2 Pens!  I know it is just a simple writing instrument, but it really brings me joy.  This pen is a gel ink so it looks a little like a really thin marker.  It is fabulous and if you have never used one, you need to go get your self one and get ready to fall in love!
