Great organization is the key to a happy home — I swear by this. If my home is messy and cluttered, my mind feels the same way. Sometimes this happens because life gets busy, but most of the time it’s because my items simply don’t have a designated place. Either my drawers can’t handle everything I own, or my cabinets are overflowing. And let’s face it: Living in a small apartment doesn’t help. One thing I’ve learned to appreciate over the years is the value of a great organizer. Whether for your closet, kitchen, or office, I appreciate the help a good organizer provides. One of my favorites — and the most versatile — is a storage cart.

I’m no stranger to Target’s Bullseye’s Playground. In fact, I look around the section for sweet, cheap deals practically every time I go to shop at the store in person (and, hey, sometimes I check out their online offerings, too.) But one of the cutest rattan gems might currently be hiding in plain sight at your local Bullseye’s Playground — if only you know where to look.

One of the most beloved Hollywood stars in the history of television, in particular, was actress Frances Bavier, who died in 1989 at age 85. The likable actress became best known for her compassionate and nurturing role as Aunt Bee on The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-1968).

I love macaroni salads, and this is truly a special one. It's got something for all of the tastebuds and textures. Soft, crunchy, chewy, sweet, savory, tart, creamy, and oh so fresh! Here's what you'll need to make 8-10 side servings:

If you like piña coladas — cue the song — then I have a sneaking suspicion that you are also going to love this new viral drink. Sure, a frozen piña colada is great on a hot summer day, but what if you don’t have a blender? Better yet, what if you’re at the beach or a park with friends and you’re craving this drink but can’t exactly get your hands on one? Thankfully, with this viral recipe, all you need is a bottle of Corona.

I’m not a person who waits until the night before I leave for vacation to start packing. My nervous energy forces me to make lists, piles, and frequent trips to the store for weeks in advance to help me sort out all that is swirling in my mind. The goal is to get to my vacation destination, breathe, and finally relax. You’d think with all my planning that once I’m out the door that I go into an instant state of bliss. I wish!

Knowing her love of gardening, it’s no surprise that Martha Stewart takes any opportunity she can get to bring a bit of the outdoors inside. And in an entryway in her home in Maine, she uses a nearly 200-year-old method to do so. It’s called faux bois — French for “false wood” — and it’s sculptural concrete that’s crafted in a way to look like petrified wood.

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday. They also connected about 1,700 people to medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.

Apartment Therapy received compensation for this post, which was written and edited independently by our editorial team. In my house, a sleeper sofa is a must. Not only do I have a big family, but people also often visit from out of town. And even though we have a guest bedroom, having extra options for seating and sleeping is always valuable. In the past, we’ve had sleeper sofas with woven upholstery and the traditional pull-out design, but they were a hassle to set up and the fabric didn’t exactly match the leather furniture we were slowly transitioning toward. I thought all sleeper sofas were made the same, but then I tried one from Apt2B that showed me that convertible furniture can be better! Courtesy of the luxe furniture brand, I had the opportunity to test out a pick from the new Sonnelino Collection. It’s an instant upgrade from our decades-old living room seating and a sleeper sofa fabric I’d never considered before.

Made famous in 2000 by former First Lady Laura Bush, these cowboy cookies are an updated twist on a traditional oatmeal cookie, trading raisins for chocolate chips, pecans, and shredded coconut. (We've swapped out the shortening as well!) To take it a step further, you can also toast the coconut and pecans for enhanced nuttiness. Here's what you'll need for about 18 cookies:

One item I never seem to have enough of is pants hangers. They all seem to disappear right around moving season, at which point I find myself scrambling to buy more. In fact, I’m facing the same predicament right now, having moved apartments just a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been draping my pants and skirts off of shirt hangers — which, for some reason, I have in abundance — as an alternative. Needless to say, it’s not working out so great.

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

Years ago, I visted Amish country on a family trip back east. It was such a great experience to see such vastly different places from what I was accustomed to. I loved all the street markets where we could sample and buy all sorts of incredible foods. This was one that stuck with me. Here's what you'll need to make your own 9" deep dish shoofly pie:
