Oh my gosh!! I am totally in love with Knock Knock. I can’t tell you how many note pads I have laying around the house despite the fact that I have at least 3 to-do/organization programs on my mac to help me stay organized! Ha Ha! Can you say “ADHD poster girl”?
We recently had a few home projects to plan and organize and between Tim and I there were about a dozen sheets of paper laying around the house with roofer’s phone numbers, terminology, ratings, etc.. I finally broke down because I didn’t know where to begin. At the time that we were planning things, I could only dream of one place to keep all of the roofer’s phone numbers, phone notes, and swirly doodles I drew while on the phone with potential roofers. Knock Knock’s Home Maintenance Organizer would have been a lifesaver – and will be in the future!
Knock Knock makes it easy for me to let Tim know what he can MUST do to make me happy with the Things You Must Do To Make Me Happy notepad. That cracks me up! A few of my favorites on the checklist are “wake up”, “remember what you tell me”, and “get it yourself”.
The most useful Knock Knock item for me is the Information Central Paper Mousepad. I am at the computer many many many hours a day and while I’m working, naturally, a million random thoughts are going through my head. Being able to jot the ideas and thoughts down on my mousepad is so cool! I love it!
Especially for new parents, the Postpartum Bundle of Joy kit comes complete with a New Parent Checklist for leaving the house, a book straight from Knock Knock’s Self Hurt series titled “How to Traumatize Your Children”, and a voucher booklet for new parents.
GIVEAWAY!

I have one clean surface in my house. I cleared all the clutter off a counter in my kitchen, and put sticky notes all over it telling the kids not to put anything there. They took this as a challenge, and left me some sticky notes back….Anyway, long story short, I need to do the same thing in a lot more places! 🙂
My whole family gets into my desk and then everything gets lost. I need to find a solution to this.
I lost our tickets to our home team’s homecoming game. It was sold out. My husband and his best buddy were planning on going. I had lost it in all my work paperwork. After searching furiously we found them with about 20 minutes to get to the game.
I forgot some work I had to do yesterday so I missed out on earning some extra money because I was so busy.
I forgot a doctor’s appointment because I had to plug my cell phone in and didn’t have the calendar on my cell with me for that day.
we just missed a dentist appointment because when they gave us the appt in december 08 i hadnt gotten an 09 calendar yet..and i forgot where i put the card 🙁
For a few years I was having a tough time remmebering birthdays other than immediate family’s. I had a PDA and that was great… until the PDA died and all that info with it. I having Lightning which works in conjunction with Mozilla Thunderbird, and updated all the birthdays to be recurring, on the calendar. So it reminds me a week before the occasion so I have time to buy cards, write a note, mail it and have it arrive on time!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m very unorganized i have no idea where most things are unless they are in my purse,With 3 kids, a dog ,and a spouse i am pulling my hair out most days trying to find things,I haven’t always been this way but after the kids i just cant seem to get a grip on the organization .I’m hoping i will win and them be able to put some organization back in my like.
Maybe if I had this I would B more organized LOL
I am constantly trying to be organized but rarely manage it. I have had to ask my mom for my brother’s number at least 4 times because every time I ask her for it I write it on the closest piece of paper which is usually the back of a receipt. Then I end up forgetting the number is there and throw out the receipt. I forget birthdays anniversary and so on because I have at least 3 different systems going at the same time and somehow none ever works for me….I am sure that if I won these tools i could put them to very good use! Thanks
My biggest problem is a lack of organization to all the papers that come into our home. From school notices to bills. Things get lost and forgotten in the shuffle.
Thanks for the chance to win this great prize!!
I always lose coupons and grocery list
I try to be organised .. but often I fail and I find myself looking hi-and-lo for things that I have packed away in a safe place.
My desk is so disorganized. I clean it up and it doesnt take long just maybe 3 or 4 days before its back to what it was with papers all over, books coupons, pens all over the place.

I can’t seem to keep up with kids doctors and dentist appointments. I realized a week too late that I had missed a doctors appointment.
My fiance is so disorganized it drives me nuts. I have to hold on to all of the important papers in the house or else they’re lost forever.
I lose my keys so often my husband made a back up set because he had to leave work to come home and lock the house up and take me to the Doctors appointment I forgot I had until the last minute. I htought the doc was the next week and my keys turned up in the liner of my purse. Oh, I got a new purse too!
Thanks so much for the chance to win. I need all the help I can get!
Organized? Lol. The most organized thing in this house is babies changing table. I don’t want to go digging for diapers when he has that rare diaperless moment to pee on Mommy. Everything else around here is organized, organized chaos that is.
My whole life is a disorganization problem!!!!! I have lost checks! (yes, checks!) I’ve lost important papers I need to sign for my kids school. I’ve lost bills. I’ve forgotten doctor’s appts. Well I should stop before I’m totally embarrassed.
I am usually very organized, but could use some help in the coupon area !!!
my entire family forgot my sister’s birthday one time. My parents, and all my 4 other siblings all forgot! and we all live in different cities. 🙂
When I was about 14 I completely forgot I needed to do a class presentation – it is tough to talk with no preparation on a subject you know nothing about…..
I never hsve my coupons when I shop because they are all over the place
Need something like this for home and family.
we lost my hubby’s birth certificate and social security card at some point before he changed jobs. of course we needed one or the other to do his i9 form for his new job. what a pain and a nail-biter it was getting a new certified copy of the birth certificat and new card! thankfully everything came in on time.
I always lose my keys, and I’m late quite often because of that. They are always in obvious but hidden places, like in the couch!
I lost my sons birth certificate just before we went on a cruise where he needed it to get on the ship. I had to drive 300 miles to the dept. of records and get a copy 2 days before we left. ugh!!!!
Whenever I am about to leave the house, it is chaos, where is my eyeglasses? Where’s my purse? Have anyone seen my shoes? While at home: where is my pen? Same with my boyfriend, he can’t find anything either!
I’m forever losing important things and forget important dates!
GREAT SITE….I REALLY NEED TO GET ORGANIZED SO THIS CONTEST WOULD BE A PERFECT WIN…THANKS FOR THE GREAT CONTESTS.
organization could always use improvement
I am so disorganized. I can’t ever find anything. Once I was looking for the calculator. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Later I was looking for something else in my filing cabinet. I couldn’t find it but guess what I did find …. my calculator. LOL I had filed it.
I have stacks of paper piled up and all these empty folders to put it in but never can seem to get around to doing it.
I try to be organized and I always manage to remember when events are, but tend to forget to bring things. We just went on a vacation and I forgot my pajamas and my deodorant. Not good!
I went to the dentist on the wrong day because I didnt write it down, I just thought I had it in my head.
I forgot a hair appointment last weekend and I always need a list or I forget everything I need to do or buy!
Thanks
To stay organized on the go with important dates, thoughts, or ideas, i carry a small notebook. I always know to look in there for anything.
I forgot to show up to chaparone a dance. I could not believe I forgot. I need to get organized
I run a foster home for disabled adults and this would be great to keep me organized
I am constantly losing keys, important paperwork and forgetting dates! I am the most unorganized person I know! I am like the poster above me – a nurse. I can keep my work life straight but my home life is in shambles! lol
I lose everything! sometimes I write noes to myself so I wont forget where I put things and then I lose the nostes
I am so disorganized right now that I panicked yesterday when I saw something about Father’s Day coming soon. I ran right out, bought a card, filled it out, and brought it to the post office. It wasn’t until today that I looked at the calendar and noticed that Fathers Day is still a few weeks away – oops!
I have dreams where I forgot my kids at home and don’t realize it until hours later. No, I’m not that bad in real life, but it’s something that stresses me out anyway!
I am very organized at work (I’m a nurse!), but at home? Oh my! I could use this!
My dis-organization is centered on keeping my sweepstakes bloggers entry qualifications organized. I write down each bloggers name by alphabet then put a Y ,G,F,TW.FB after each for the qualifications. Is there an easier way to organize.
I constantly forget my keys places even though they are the most important things I should be remembering. My mind is just so forward focused those auto-pilot things get neglected. One day I was headed to my first day of class and I decided to leave me car running while I ran in to the get the book I needed. As soon as I locked and shut the door, it dawned on me that my spare car key was at home (in another town!). I waited three hours for help to unlock my car and completely missed my class!
are you kidding, i forget everything, i forget my brothers birthday on the 1st, i know loser. i just cant keep up with anything.
Being a writer, my husband’s natural inclination is to write things on slips of paper as he thinks of them, and then leave them all over the house (no where around when he’s at the computer). The mouse you can write on would be awesome for organization and productivity, not to mention convenience. I love it!
every single christmas i have to call people for their address because i can never seem to remember to write them all in one place for the next year!
I can use anything that helps me organize. Thanks for the chance.

I am so disorganized when it comes to my dest. I am alwys coming up with idea when I am on the computer so I have post it’s of all colors and sizes all over my computer and desk. It’s a mess really. I could definitely use this!

I remember one place I worked my bosses desk was so disorganized could not find and thing if you tryed, funny thing is you could ask her for something she would know were it was even tho her desk was a mess unorganized she always knew where everything was on her desk
I try to get better at organizing every day. Once I missed a plane because I forgot to put that on DH’s calendar.
Just yesterday I was looking for my purse and thought I had locked it in the car. Well after calling my wonderful husband thinking my son would be late for his baseball game and me and the kids went on a house hunt for my purse. There is was on the kitchen table. Uggh..I am so happy that we found it before my son was late but to think I had lost it when it was somewhere very obvious. thank you for the chance

We lost a $100 gift from a family member because instead of being put away immediately it was put in a shallow pocket and while that would be a big deal now this was when my hubby was a graduate student and we were so PO we could not afford the OR in POOR.
My organization story is that whenever someone who comes to visit wants something to borrow or use, I always know where it is.
My desk is pretty organized, but not my girlfriend…she can use this.
I only forgot my mom’s birthday because I wrote the date on paper that I lost. I needed to have a daily planner book.
