Organizing Mail Supplies

Hello!  Sorry for my absence around here lately!  With summer ending and school beginning, we have been in go-go-go mode!!  I'm so happy to be back here sharing with you today though! 

Something that seems to get spread all over the place in houses are mailing supplies.  So today I am going to give you a quick peek at how I keep everything organized around here.

I have a drawer in my office that is devoted to mailing supplies.  It is so nice when I need to mail something that I know exactly where to go and don't have to dig through multiple drawers trying to find an envelope, card or stamp! 

At the front of the drawer I have two orange file folders.  The front one keeps our return address labels and stamps.  The second one holds my address book-not that it needs a folder, but it just keeps it from flopping open in the drawer and keeps it right up front for easy access.

I used a cheap little basket that I have had for years to put bulk cards in.

And I absolutely love my card organizer that I got from The Container Store several years ago!

On the right I have a box of regular business envelopes and some bigger mailing envelopes as well. 

Simple enough, right?  But such a time saver (and headache saver) when I need to get something in the mail quickly! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Chicken Scampi

Here is a quick and easy weeknight version of Chicken Scampi!

I originally found this recipe from Campbell's a few years ago, but have made a couple tweaks along the way to make it just right for our family.  Here's how I put it together:

You will need:

2 tablespoons butter

4 small chicken breasts (or 2 larger breasts cut in half)

1 can (10 3/4oz) Cream of Chicken soup

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons garlic powder 

1 package angel hair or spaghetti pasta

Directions:

1. Boil water and begin cooking pasta according to the directions on the box

2. Melt the butter in a 12 inch skillet over medium heat

3.  Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on both sides, then remove and set aside

4.  Add the soup, water, lemon juice and garlic powder into the skillet and mix well.  Once the mixture is boiling add the chicken back in to coat.  

5. Take the drained pasta and toss it in the sauce mixture until coated before plating 

ENJOY!
