I get Tracy's weekly post in pictures.

I love getting it.
My husband says she has an incredible eye for photography. I also forward it on to my kids. My older two are overtly artistic. My youngest is too, in different ways. But I do not think you have to be artistic to enjoy Tracy.
She lives a very unique life (she only has one kid, her work is art, she travels, she lives in San Francisco area).
When her recipe food posts hit my inbox, I delete them without opening. I can tell by the title that it is a recipe.
Her food pictures (in her week in review) do not bother me. She takes pictures of food for a living. She also cooks things separately and cooks ahead. I have learned a lot from her about sorting, storing, labeling. So I look at her food pictures from an organization viewpoint.
So, for example, I did not look at what food she served for thanksgiving. I looked at how she did her table. I look at how she packages her pre cooking as she preps and puts it in the refrigerator too. Etc.
Alcohol is in a lot of her pictures, that does not bother me either, I just ignore it. But I just wanted to forewarn.
Blue painters tape now lives in my studio, kitchen and computer room because of Tracy. I label a lot of things. Dates, content, owners names. (When we were at our friends over xmas, I realized how much I use blue tape when she did not have any in her kitchen. Drove me a little nuts.)
She used to write another column for Homefries on organization.

There are some good posts there.
This post started because I was thinking about how Tracy rotates her clothes.
I had to look to remember what she calls it - capsule wardrobe.
I searched the word "capsule" on her blog

And you can see past posts on that topic.
I am not suggesting following her fashion trends.
I am suggesting looking at how she thinks about her closet.
I look at all her organizational posts this way - the labeling and the sorting,
but not necessarily the content.
