Everything seems different in the summer. The weather’s hot, the kids are out of school, and we all want a bit of a break from the regular grind. Even if there’s organizing to be done, we tend to focus on different projects than the rest of the year. This month’s Blog Carnival covers all of these topics, with posts from organizing experts.

Please get to know everyone who contributed posts this month! As you read their posts, grow your network by leaving comments and/or connecting with the bloggers on social media.
