A good morning routine doesn’t guarantee a good day, but it sure makes it more likely! I know there are elaborate morning routines out there, and for anyone who successfully manages a complicated sequence of morning tasks: you don’t need to read this. No need to fix what isn’t broken.

The Living Room {Home Tour}
My living room. It shows up in a lot of random posts on the blog, but I realize I’ve never actually shown you the entire room in one post. I’m remedying that right now and showing you the second most frequently used room in my house (it is a close second to the kitchen). A […]

That sounds really nice in theory, but in actuality, the shelves were giant dust and clutter […]

An organized laundry room is important. I consider the laundry room to be the “command center of housekeeping”, so it makes sense for it to be in order. Of course, making it a pleasant place to be helps too! Choose carefully what you store in the laundry room. In an effort to keep “like with […]
This Powerful Question will help you Declutter
The clutter is standing in your way of getting organized, so you are working through it. You are making a ton of progress and finally getting rid of junk, when suddenly you catch sight of it. There it is. That box of pens that you haven’t really touched in years except to add more pens that […]
