My girl Cassie, is someone I actually met through this blog. And for that, I must give giant thank you hugs to blog of mine for bringing us together. Well, we haven't met face to face, YET, however, she is one of my most dearest virtual BFF's.
Aside from being a totally awesome person {and photographer} in general, she is amazing at coming up with creative inexpensive organized solutions! And today, I get to share one that I know anyone can easily adapt to and implement in their own lives {you can check out the full details and story on her blog here}!
She had once found a calendar that actually would hold their monthly bills for them:
Cassie would write down the bill that needed to be paid, along with the amount due, on the specific day of the month. Once the bill was paid, a check was marked next to it. Once it came out of their account, another check went by it. Pretty smart and streamlined right?!
The system was actually very functional for her and her man, since it was out in plain site, right on their bedroom wall.
However, that was part of the problem. It was on her bedroom wall and she wasn't thrilled with that ultra bulky, unappealing calendar.
That's when she went to Target and the rest is streamlined beautification history!
Seriously, could IHeart Real Simple products any more than I do? Nope. They are the best! And this is the perfect example as to why!
Cassie found an old frame she already owned, popped a calendar inside and paired it with her new Target find!
Ultimately, she is still using the same system, but now it has style AND functionality!
Cassie actually put the glass behind the frame so she can still write directly on to her calendar printout. She uses the two pockets below for current month, and next. After that, the bills are filed away!
The best part {I think we all agree, is no more accordion sticking out of the bedroom wall!}. Let's compare shall we?

Thanks Cassie for letting me share your awesome solution and system today!
