One of the most common places people hire me to organize is the home office mostly because of paper clutter. Once you […]

Grandma Bins (How I keep my favorite toys as my kids grow …)

I’m hopefully not very close to becoming a Grandma since my oldest girls are just 12, but I’ve been collecting items in a Grandma Bin since my twins were toddlers. When my 4th baby and son was born, I allowed myself a second bin. When people have a tough time getting rid of toys as […]

You’re Not Helping Your Child By Keeping All Their Stuff

I see it happen all the time. Parents love their children so much, they don’t want to force them to part with a single thing. So for every birthday and holiday, the children get more and more. Toys and plastic start taking over the whole house, but these parents think: “What’s there to do? This […]

Let Them Try

The picture above is of my third daughter Izzy organizing and cataloging her stuffed animals last summer. If you remember from her “help” with my living room, Izzy is often organizing and decorating differently than I would. And I’ve really learned to love it. For the declutter challenge, we’ve started into the bedrooms, which means […]

Take It 15 Minutes At A Time

I know that many home decor and organizing blogs out there are full of these incredible before and after photos, which I LOVE as much as you do. And sometimes, we attack a project with one big gigantic effort to start and finish it in a short amount of time. This is an intense way […]

Cut the Strings! {Declutter to feel better.}

As I’ve said before: “Clutter is a weight that has built on top of you so gradually, you don’t even realize anymore that it is holding you down. It is harmed relationships, depression, and anxiety. It is giving power to our stuff, sometimes our really nice stuff, to control our lives.” Recently I was asked by a […]

Guide Children to Declutter – FREE Ebook!

Last night I was going through graded schoolwork and tests that my school-aged kids have brought back home. I was created a big recycle-pile next to me, but I still check in with my kids once in a while to make sure they know we are getting rid of things. One of my 12 year […]
