Five years ago when I started this blog, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. I jumped into the blog world with two feet forward not having any idea where the journey would take me. As a newbie blogger, I felt very alone. I felt like I had missed the boat. That it was too late to connect with established bloggers.
I used to pour over other blogs and look at their beautiful pictures and great ideas and wondered how they did it. One of my favorites was A Bowl Full of Lemons. Talk about organizational eye candy! Toni has an incredible gift for photography, among other things, i.e. organizing everything! I wished I knew Toni, but figured she was too busy to be friends with a new organizing blogger like me.
I am so glad to tell you how wrong I was! Not too long after I started this blog, a group of incredible organizing bloggers (Toni included) decided to work together instead of competing against one another. I was included in this little group and we all became instant friends. And all these years later we still work closely together and they have become not only great friends online, but also in real life.
We cheer each other’s accomplishments and stand by to encourage each other when things aren’t the best. But today, I am so happy to share a major accomplishment that my friend Toni has achieved.
She has just released a brand new book called The Complete Book of Home Organization (affiliate link)! And it is amazing!! It’s already a #1 Best Seller on Amazon in just the first few days! #waytogoToni
It’s absolutely filled with tips and ideas to help you organize your home. The tips are organized (surprise!) by area of the home, beginning with the kitchen.
One thing I love is that Toni not only shares what works for her home, but also shares other ideas that would work for different situations.
If you are a fan of A Bowl Full of Lemons, you may be familiar with Toni’s Home Organization 101: 14 Week Challenge (by the way, it starts TODAY). In her book, Toni includes a detailed, step-by-step, easy to understand plan to follow the challenges.
So guess what made my whole day, week, year!?! When Toni was writing her book, she graciously asked me if she could feature an area of my home in her book! #pinchme
Not surprisingly, Toni’s attention to detail shines in her book – even the cover! I just love the little metal edges on the corners, it gives it an added touch of class.
I am SO happy to tell you that I am giving away a signed copy of Toni’s fabulous book, The Complete Book of Home Organization!
You can also find it on Amazon HERE and Barnes and Noble HERE.
Disclosure: Toni sent me a copy of her book to review, and I was not asked to give a positive review. My opinions are 100% my own. This post contains affiliate links.
Love your blog & Toni’s blog too!
Love both blogs! Awesome giveaway – I need to organize my kitchen😊
My office needs organizing the most.
One of my struggles is kitchen utensils. Maybe this can help me.
I need help in my kitchen and pantry!!!
I am always looking for ways to be more organized. I would love to win your book.
I need help organizing my craft room and garage storage
I feel overwhelmed in every room of my house. I would really love to tackle my closet first though.
I am a newly we’d moving from a townhouse into a 4 bedroom house already full of stuff including 70 guitars. Help…. please.
yikes, i have to choose just one?! right now, i’d go with my dining room/sewing room/ homeschool storage room. its a disaster since we tried to do a little rearranging with new furniture and then christmas gift making season hit!
My clothes and office. Clutter stresses me. Thank you for your tips.
My bedroom, which contains stacks of paperwork.
My whole house!
I am embarrassed to admit that every room needs organization, but I could really use help in the kitchen! Thanks for the opportunity to win Toni’s book. I love your blog, Ginny, and have subscribed for some years now! Thanks for all your great tips!
This book is so beautiful. Congrats for making it in the book and for being accepted as a friend in the blogging world!
Oops, I almost forgot. The room I want to organize the most is my home office.
I would have to say that unfortunately it’s the kitchen that is THE most in need!
It’s hard to pick one area that I’d like to organize more than another… so, I’ll pick my office. Would love to have better systems in place to reduce the amount of “pile filing” that I do!! 🙂
I definitely need some office organization skills. I can keep a grip on every other room in the house… but that office.
Right now my office is most in need of organization!

Our whole house could use more organization, but especially the basement.
I want to organize my kitchen!! I have reorganized it a couple of times and find it hard to keep it organized.
The home office isn’t a home office. It is the “I don’t know where to put this” room.
Office/craft room area & kitchen are the areas that could use the most organization. I would also like to organize my daughter’s toy room-every room seems to be a toy room.
Boy, do I need this!! It seems like the harder I try, the worse it gets. Is there any hope?
As I sit here typing this comment surrounded by clutter. … I know that this book would be an invaluable tool to having a more organized and relaxed home life.
The kitchen is my biggest organization challenge.
My kitchen is a challenge.
What a treat! Thanks to your blog, i’ve gotten much of my house cleaning under control. I do need help organizing my “studioffice”. It’s just too overwhelming to get organized.
I just found you during dec and am really enjoying your blog.
Love the collaboration in the home organizing blog space. Congrats on the feature in the book. Looks like a great resource. My current focus is attempting to keep kid clothes and toys in some semblance of order.
I’m so unorganized I need this !!!!
Love the visual appeal of the book…I want to dive right in! Thanks for this generous giveaway!
I need to organize my scrapbook/sewing room !
I love the way the book looks !! Looks fun !
My closest needs the largest help with organizing.
I’m excited to read this book. In a household with 6 people, I can use all the organizational help I can find.
Although my whole house could use some organizing, I would love to get my home office completely organized. Thanks for the giveaway!
My linen closet is always a mess. I definitely need help organizing it!!! 🙂
My basement and garage!
I honestly could use help organizing everywhere, but if I had to pick one place that is most crucial it would be our homeschooling room/ boys’ stuff.
My whole house could stand some attention, but the absolute worst is my closet.
Love all the great ideas and printable items.
Thank you
Can’t wait to get organized!!
The bedroom is the one room that never seems to be “done”. I would love to get it organized and tidy looking.
Looks like a great book – I’d love to get the study organized once and for all!
My kitchen needs help! I’ve got plenty of cupboards and drawers but that’s the problem. They get messy quickly. Things end up in the wrong place all the time, then I can’t find anything.
I need to organize my basement to effectively use the space
I love both your and Toni’s blogs; you’re both awesome. My laundry room is in need of some serious attention right now. It’s really small so some creativity with space planning is going to be key. Thanks Ginny.
I wish my closets and my sewing room were more organized! Live the pictures in the book, they gorgeous!
I would say my office/computer room. It’s terrible! No other words…
I desperately need help organizing my pantry and my office!
Your blog is so beautiful and helpful. Thank you! My home office needs a lot of organization; that’s my biggest project for 2016.
I live in a very small house and storage/closet space is always a challenge to organize all the stuff that needs to go into these spaces.
I could really benefit from this
We live in a small house with 4 children, 2 adults, plus our pets..We homeschool so our living room has become our school area, dining room, etc. This would be such a blessing..
My family room needs the most work – though it would be a lot easier if I shed some of the bazillion books I have. 😳
My kitchen needs the most organizing right now!
My pantry is large but is always such a mess! I need help!
I need help with my closets!
My office needs some tlc and reorganizing.

I would love to have my home office and bedroom well organized both at the same time because is a every day struggle for me 🙁
I need help organizing my desk/filing system…and closets.
Thanks so much for the giveaway! It’s hard to pick only 1 area…the whole house needs to be organized, but the room that needs it the most is probably my bedroom.
My bedroom, including the closet
Our basement needs some organization! !
My whole house! But especially my “spare” bedroom (aka the junk room!!).
I really need to work on my closets and laundry room!
Oh my kitchen!! Getting a new kitchen because of water damage and I would love to start fresh and organized!
I really could use help with garage and attic organization. I am just so overwhelmed when it comes to those two places. I also have an addiction to organizational bins, so I need to organize my organizational bins!! Help!!
I could use help with the drop off area for my kids’ school bags.

LOVE!!! I want this book so badly! How fun that are in it!!!
And I forgot to mention…GARAGE!!
Hmmm….it all needs organizing. I will choose the kitchen because the cabinets are stuffed and I have no idea what’s in them anymore.
I need help organizing my whole flat!
I need help organizing my whole house but the closets need the most help for sure.
My office needs a complete organizing makeover!
This book would be a dream come true
I look forward to your emails and love reading your blog. Thank you for the link to Toni’s blog. I cannot wait to read some of her content. I need to organize kitchen and pantry.
My master bedroom closet needs the most organization.
My master bedroom is also our home office and my craft room. I need all the help I can get trying to pull all that together, make it functional, and still have it be a restful place to sleep!
My entire house. It all needs help! This is an awesome giveaway!
My closet is a disaster !
My entire house needs help! As a mom of 2 young ones (and a dog) that also works full-time outside the home, I rarely have time to do more than vacuum once a week and keep up with the laundry (thankfully my hubby does the dishes!). Everything else just sit there until I “get around to it,” which may be a week from now or a month from now. Any additional tips & tricks I can find to make things easier will be great!
Wow! This comment could have been written by me! I’m right there with you sister!
Love this! I so need to get so many areas of my house organized. Thank you for your posts!
I really need to get my homeschool stuff organized. As well as my pantry. and my closet. and my kids rooms….
My whole house needs help! I feel completely overwhelmed and lost at trying to get my house organized. I know my whole family would be happier if I could.
My kitchen is the first room I’d like to get organized! I’ve been following both ABFOL and this blog for ages and love them both!
I definitely would like to get my master bedroom organized better.
My whole house needs to be reorganized. I keep having kids move back home and moving my things to accommodate theirs.
My craft room definitely needs the most help!

I struggle the most with our entry-while I have a large closet, it is an unusually shaped space, leaving a lot of wasted are in the center. Winter is the worst! Coats, boots, hats, mittens-a mess!
My garage is an organized mess. I need to purge then organize for function.
I would love to win this book! I need help organizing our home office 🙂
Our playroom/office definitely needs some organizing attention!
Thanks for having this giveaway! It is appreciated!
Every area in my house. 2016 will be the year!
Excited about this book.
I want my kitchen to be better organized
I’d love to organize my office. I’m working on my thesis currently, and I always feel overwhelmed by materials that are half-processed or processed-but-I-might-still-need-them. It makes organization critical so that I can find papers/documents/books when I need them!
I need this book! I need to organize, well, everything =)
I would love this book! I could especially use some help organizing our home office/guest room, but my whole house could use improvement.
I am now a stay-home Mimi and empty-nester! Currently, down-sizing and simplifying our home. This book would be the perfect solution to help with this somewhat overwhelming task.
I just discovered this blog and am loving it! My kitchen needs some help, but if I can get help organizing our girls’ room, our lives would change! They are 8 & 6 and have to share a room. It’s hard to give them “their own” space and keep things tidy.
