Keeping my home clutter free NEVER happens. Part of it is due to the fact that I have children and part of it is just ME. I have a very hard time keeping our home decluttered. I have many, MANY excuses for this (some of them more valid than others), but at the end of the day, in every room of our home, there is some form of clutter. And YES, it drives my husband nuts (which I feel terrible about)! This is why I am making 2015 the year of DECLUTTERING our home! It is a HUGE job and … Continue reading →

I think I was born a “pack rat” because for as long as I can remember, I have collected things, I’ve had a cluttered living space and I’ve had a difficult time letting items go.

As many of you know, I am participating in a challenge this month called 40 Bags in 40 Days. I have been spending as much time as I can organizing, decluttering and purging items in my home. As I mentioned in my first decluttering post, one of my main cluttered areas is my basement. We have an unfinished basement where I store many, MANY things. Almost 10 years ago, I taught Kindergarten. As a teacher, and specifically, a Kindergarten teacher, I always kept things for my classrooms. When I had my daughter, I left my teaching career in order to … Continue reading →

Well, yes, I can share that I am feeling lighter! It is truly amazing just how much clutter weighs you down.

I view January as the opportunity for a fresh start. It is a chance to reflect on our life the way it is now and make any changes that would benefit us. These changes are often things like changes for our health and wellbeing, our routines, home decor and organization and more. This year, I will be participating in a “challenge” called 40 Bags in 40 Days because what I have decided to tackle this new year is my home. I have a lot of things, not necessarily valuable things, but “stuff”. My husband and I are opposites in many … Continue reading →
