This week is like a repeat of last week, unless you have more than 3 bedrooms. If you’re doing more than one room this week, I suggest sticking to the specified task and do more rooms simultaneously. If that is the case for you, you may need to set aside more time this week. This […]
Week 8 – Bedroom #2 {91 Day Declutter Challenge}
Personally, I’ve been waiting for this week. My son is 7 and is finally starting to understand a little more about decluttering! I still have my work cut out for me, because he is definitely still in training. I know from experience that kids do so much better in their room without all the clutter. […]
Week 7 – Bathrooms {91 Day Declutter Challenge}
If you’re lucky this week, you don’t store much in your bathrooms and this can be a really easy week. If you do store a lot of stuff in your bathroom, keep reminding yourself how much easier it will be to CLEAN your bathroom without all the stuff in the way! If you have stockpiles […]
The Drama of Procrastination
More than 10 years ago I watched a movie He’s Just Not That Into You. The thing that has continued to stick with me from the movie all these years later has nothing to do with the dysfunctional romances depicted.

Week 6 – Craft Room {91 Day Declutter Challenge}
My craft room doubles as the kids craft room. So, not only do I create planners in there, but my kids come in and do all of their school projects. With 4 kids, at least 1 child has some kind of school project to make every single week. We also do painting together regularly. Also, […]
You deserve a home, not a storage unit.
Sometimes you will declutter something you eventually wish you hadn’t. Declutter anyway. I wrote Your Junk or Your Life almost 8 years ago, and the advice continues to ring true. There may be declutter casualties, but the benefits of decluttering outweigh the casualties exponentially. Yeah, you may have to re-buy something later. But how much […]
Awesome Banana Muffins (GF friendly!)
My friend Aimee shared this recipe with me about 15 years ago, when we both had preschoolers and babies crawling around. She brought it to a playgroup at my house, and if our friendship wasn’t already cemented, it was after I tasted her banana muffins. Now that we are gluten free over here, we’ve been […]
Week 5 – Office {91 Day Declutter Challenge}
The idea of decluttering the office may sound intimidating. Go into this week repeating to yourself “progress not perfection.” And I think this is also a good time for a reminder – this challenge is about DECLUTTERING, not ORGANIZING. You’ll get there, but it won’t all happen in a week. It is a process. Focus […]
