Happy Monday, my organization-loving friends!

It’s been quiet around here because there’s a lot going on behind the scenes. Mostly good stuff, with only a few downers (you’ll see one big downer below). If you follow me on Instagram, Friday I shared a quick video recap of my week. Busiest week ever – both with clients and blog stuff.  And, of course, I’m a mother with a house to run…so there’s that. I’m also on the planning committee for our regional NAPO conference here in SF. The conference is happening in a few weeks and I’ll be sharing a bit about that here too. More good news – my website is almost done and my logo is finalized (yippee!). The site has a few tweaks left before it launches in a few days. So excited to share it with you! As well as share an update in my blogger-to-wordpress series. And I have some fun blog posts to post too!

But because it’s Monday – let’s kick off a new week with a giveaway!

I love Schlage…and I’m not just saying that because they buddied up with me for this giveaway. If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you recall almost 2 years ago I replaced all of the door hardware around the house with Schlage products. They didn’t send me those products, I purchased every last knob myself. I fell in love with their hardware and am still loving on it to this day. The previous door hardware was not only falling apart, it was brass which, no offense to anyone, isn’t my personal taste…

I went with their Georgian Satin Nickel and it’s held up beautifully to 3 kids…and all of their rambunctious friends coming and going!…

2 years ago, all of the knobs were replaced with the exception the door to the garage coming in from the backyard…

That is until last week when I updated it with a new Schlage Touch lock…

And why did I replace it finally, you ask? Not only because my friends at Schlage sent this to me, but because someone broke into the house a couple weeks ago…using this door as their entry point.

I know, yuck! I hate the feeling – hate knowing someone not only stole items from our garage (things that belong to my children!!), but can’t stand the feeling of someone coming onto my property and into my home. It’s a gross, violating feeling. Without giving away too much, I have a unique property that overlooks a regional trail. This sorta makes us a prime target as people can easily get on and off…

However, what gave me chills more than anything was knowing the thieves planned this in advance. How do I know? They knew I park right here. In this spot. Every day. Instead of just walking onto the property, they cut through the deer fence directly behind my truck…

And came around to the back door to access the garage. #chills Once I shook it off, I quickly got to work with the police, the fence company, our home insurance company, I replaced the stolen items, added cameras around the entire property…

…and of course, finally replaced this door hardware! Good chance getting in now dudes! 😉

It was easy to install The Schlage Touch…

Similar to all of the interior door hardware, I love how pretty and clean this set is…

Even from the other side of the door it’s pretty…

But what I love most is the features!

The Schlage Touch lock provides the ability to store 19 unique access codes to provide you with exceptional convenience…without the need for a home automation system. You’ll no longer have to worry about misplacing keys or creating duplicates for each visitor. The Schlage Touch screen works in the rain, as well as with gloves, and features dedicated icons to signal low battery and programming modes.
