Room Declutter Checklist (for Teens & Young Adults)

Teens and young adults have unique needs to help them declutter. My advice is to suggest their room may need a Deep Cleaning or a Decluttering, and then offer to help. Some teens may feel comfortable having you in their room helping, and some may really need that help, but they still may want some […]

Little Boy Bedroom Tour

Today I’ll be sharing my only boy bedroom tour. Brian is 7 years old and extremely strong-willed. If you think I placed things “just so” for these pictures, you’ll see the truth in the video. Important: I did NOT clean, organize, or tweak this bedroom at all before taking the video and photos of any of […]

Tween Girl Bedroom Tour

The first kids’ bedroom tour in our new home begins with Izzy’s room. Izzy is 12.5, still a tween but almost a teenager. Important: I did NOT clean, organize, or tweak this bedroom at all before taking the video and photos. I took the pictures on a Saturday after the kids each cleaned their rooms […]

Let Them Be Little – Embrace the Treasures and Create Collections

When Brian was a toddler, he came home from every outing with a pocketful of “treasures.” They were so important to him. He’d name them, play with them, and remember each and every one. I knew I needed a plan to deal with them before they took over all the clean surfaces of his room. […]

Kids Can Declutter (Teach them!)

You’re reading this because you already get that decluttering is so important. I really think kids need to learn how to declutter for themselves. You are not doing your child any favors by keeping all their stuff. I think parents doing sneak-attacks of decluttering backfires and causes some kids to latch on even harder to […]

B’s Room – It’s About Progress

Brian’s birthday was in January – right after Christmas and right in the middle of our family tragedy. It is safe to say I’ve let his room go wild for a couple of months. It got bad. This may be shocking to see because many people assumes my house is organized 100% of the time, […]

Room Cleaning Checklist (for tweens, teens, and young adults)

I was lying in bed last night trying to go to sleep, but instead I was thinking about the week ahead. My kids are home for another week of break (yay!) and I was thinking about what I want to do with them. They got frozen yogurt gift cards in their stockings and I want […]

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 […]
