Tidy up, mama: The top 10 organizing hacks from Pinterest

I was watching Marie Kondo's new Netflix show the other night, and halfway through episode three, I went over to my bedroom closet and dumped all the clothes on the floor to start determining what brought me "joy." It sparked a tidying and organizing frenzy that currently has my house looking like it's been turned upside down, but will hopefully be worth it when I put everything back neat and clutter-free (that's the plan, at least). And apparently, I'm not alone. My Instagram feed has started to fill with pictures of parents Kondoing their homes, too.

While I do love the look of all those neat rows of clothes in the dresser drawers, it takes a lot of time—something that is in short supply between managing work, my almost 3-year-old and all of the other facets of #momlife.

Enter: Pinterest.

I spoke to them about the top 10 organizing hacks that will leave my home looking like I Kondo'd it up and down, but with less time. Here's what they shared:

Sorry, you can’t meet our baby yet

In just over three weeks, we will become parents. From then on, our hearts will live outside of our bodies. We will finally understand what everyone tells you about bringing a child into the world.

Lately, the range of emotions and hormones has left me feeling nothing short of my new favorite mom word, "hormotional." I'm sure that's normal though, and something most people start to feel as everything suddenly becomes real.

Our bags are mostly packed, diaper bag ready, and birth plan in place. Now it's essentially a waiting game. We're finishing up our online childbirth classes which I must say are quite informational and sometimes entertaining. But in between the waiting and the classes, we've had to think about how we're going to handle life after baby's birth.

Naya Rivera’s last action was to save her 4-year-old son, says sheriff

As mamas we want our babies to be safe, and that's what makes what happened to Glee actress Naya Rivera and her 4-year-old son Josey so heartbreaking.

On July 13, the Ventura County Sheriff's Department announced the 33-year-old mother's body was found at Lake Piru, five days after her son was found floating alone on a rented boat. According to Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub, Rivera's last action was to save her son.

"We know from speaking with her son that he and Naya swam in the lake together at some point in her journey. It was at that time that her son described being helped into the boat by Naya, who boosted him onto the deck from behind. He told investigators that he looked back and saw her disappear under the surface of the water," Ayub explained, adding that Rivera's son was wearing his life vest, but the adult life vest was left on the unanchored boat.
