5 Minutes Well Spent

5 Minutes was all it took to change how I felt as I walked in my room and looked at my nightstand. Sometimes you just really need a win to start the momentum for more winning. Last night I needed a little escape from my overwhelmingly long To Do list. While my husband was putting the […]

Mini Declutter: Get Rid of NICE THINGS!!

Today is the final day of our mini-declutter. It is so awesome to read and see the pictures of people participating in our Facebook Group. I feel so inspired!!

Stop Telling Your Child To Clean Their Room IF …

Right now many of you are de-cluttering your children’s room as a part of our 91 Day De-Clutter Challenge. While we are working in our children’s spaces during this challenge, I am reminded of a topic I’ve meant to share for a long time.

Your JUNK or Your LIFE
