January Declutter Calendar Coming Soon!
Hey everyone! I’m working on a January Declutter Challenge calendar! My goal is to share a calendar with you for daily items to declutter in about 15-minutes per day! These will be items that most everyone will be able to get rid of at least a few items daily! I am working through it right now with a friend of mine as the guineapig! Drop your email address in the subscribe information at the bottom and I’ll be sure to get you more information about it! I plan to share photos, directions, ideas on what to do with the clutter, and YouTube videos to work through this together! See if…

Minimal Packing for a Family Trip: Less Stuff and More Fun
Minimal Packing for a Family Trip: Less Stuff and More Fun I used to be a chronic over packer! I can remember lines at the airport where I was unzipping my overly stuffed suitcase and taking items out just to jam them into an already full carry-on bag. All of this to try and get the weight on my suitcase to an acceptable level! The first time I flew with my husband we were headed to Mexico for an all-inclusive 7-day trip, and I had over 55 pounds of stuff with me! Just me! Not me and him! I can remember getting a little nervous as we got to the…

Still Getting Hung-Up Decluttering? It Happens!
As far as I’ve come, I still get hung up…I guess I’m saying this to make sure that we are all giving ourselves grace and asking the right questions to weed out the hard stuff. I have gotten rid of thousands of items, literally thousands, but this past weekend I got hung up by a 12-year-old pair of shorts. Yep! A 12-year-old pair of shorts. These shorts are still cute (to me), they are a classic look, they still fit, and are still in good shape. As a matter of fact, I have two pairs of these shorts. One black pair and one blue pair. I love the blue pair. …

The More of Less By Joshua Becker
Mid-April has arrived, and the weather has started to warm up! Things are starting to turn green or at least think about it and I find myself still quarantined while enjoying the easy going days of nowhere to be and nothing to buy! I know that some are starting to think about Spring Cleaning and that people across the country are using this quarantine time to finish projects and clean things out! So I thought, what better time to share with you one of the books I’m currently reading? The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own by Joshua Becker. I am still reading this one, but I’m…

Crap Baskets: Family Organization
Our family of five lives in a home that is spread over three smaller levels. Two of the kids downstairs, my husband and I on the main level, and our youngest daughter upstairs. This makes for strong legs and many trips up and down or sometimes launching stuff that’s been abandoned to the end of the stairs and praying someone else will pick it up when they walk by…the launch and pray rarely works here! Enter life changing “Crap Baskets.” You may want to come up with a better name. I will admit that I regretted naming these crap baskets when our children also started calling them crap baskets. The concept of a crap basket…
