Please help me welcome Elizabeth Como as the newest member of the Simplified by Bobbie team. As our Simplified Style Expert, Elizabeth will be a frequent contributor to the Simplified Solutions blog… writing about all things BLING and PRETTY! Who couldn’t use a little help in that area?!
She is a work-at-home mom of two, and she is also working towards a degree in business technology. In between work, school, and play she still finds time for style! As a Cookie Lee and Mary Kay representative she is able to share her passion for all things STYLE. With a natural eye for good fashion she is always on the lookout for a simple way to add flair to everyday life.
I am thrilled to have her as a part of my growing team!! I’d say this Audrey Hepburn quote sums her up best: “~ I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.”
Elizabeth can Simplify your Style too… follow along with her posts here and you can always contact her at como79sabelle@yahoo.com.
Visit her websites for your own “bling & pretty”:

Spring time is always associated with “spring cleaning” – right? Yes, this is a natural time to open the windows and let in fresh air, clean the dust bunnies that have been hiding all winter, and finally do some deep-scrubbing that is perhaps overdue! But it’s also the perfect time to regroup your priorities and organize your home & routines to reflect them. Sometimes life gets so busy, that we find ourselves running on ‘auto-pilot’ – often we won’t even notice. It’s just the same thing day in and day out. Ever feel that way?
So my advice to you this Spring is to review what’s most important to you, then step back from your everyday routines and see if what your doing is in line with what you want from life!
Are there goals that you aren’t achieving, but would like to be? Is there something you’ve been putting off for later (but later never comes)? Do you have enough time for yourself and your family… what could you do differently? Naturally, everyone’s questions to themselves will be different because we are all unique. Whatever your questions are though… first contemplate your priorities, then sit down and really assess your current routines. See what needs to be tweaked, what can stay the same, and what should be tossed out altogether!
If you find yourself in a ‘rut’ sometimes it helps to have an outsider’s unbiased opinion. So ask a trusted friend or family member to help you by brainstorming new ways to go about your day and routines. I’m always here as a sounding board as well! I would love the opportunity to help you organize your time and home so that it works best for you… and most importantly, so that it reflects your ideal life.

Getting organized and Staying organized are two VERY different things. Usually I give tips about how to GET organized, but today we’re talking about STAYING ORGANIZED! Too often I hear people say, “well, I used to be organized, but I don’t know what happened!” Typically, what happened is that they didn’t know what to do to STAY organized
If this sounds familiar, then you should read on:

Last St. Patrick’s day I snapped out of sleep at 5 am (uuggh)! For some reason I shot straight up and thought… I have to go be a leprechaun. No, I’m not crazy (well ok, maybe a little)! Read more »

Here’s the most recent article I wrote for the York Community Women’s Journal… thought I’d post it here just in case you missed it or live out of the delivery area! Enjoy!
What keeps you from organizing your home? Is it that you don’t know the steps to take… or is it because you don’t have the motivation to take them? It’s okay, we’ve all been there. For example, you’ve heard the guideline “if you haven’t used it in a year, then lose it.” But how many people hear this and actually take action?
Have you ever wondered what makes the difference between knowing what to do and doing what you know? Here’s your answer to organization: Read more »

Q: Do you have a formula for how many bath towels one really needs (including hand towels and washcloths). I use a washcloth daily. ~Laura
A: Well, I don’t exactly have a formula… but like most things I keep as few as possible!
Similar to clothes, it depends on: Read more »
