Summa summa summatime...summatime. Yall. It's almost summer. I don't know how that happened. But it's starting to get a little, shall we say..tropical? in our part of the woods. Here are a few little diddies to get that summer launched right. 1) That bug bite thing My mom used to tell me that mosquitoes liked me best because I had sweet skin. I guess it made me feel better when I was covered head to toe in "welps" aka giant red raised itchy welts. You know what would have mad

"Friends, acquaintances, and strangers" is a tactic I use to help clients de-clutter their spaces, especially their closets. It wo

Today's 3 things: A tip, a task, and tool. 1) Tip: The "walk block" Don't get too excited - this is not a dating tip. This is de-cluttering tip I use in my own home as well as with many of my clients. If I am de-cluttering or organizing or just plain cleaning a room, and I come across an object that does not belong in said room, I put it right smack dab in the doorway exiting that room. This way, when I leave the room, it blocks my exit. Then I have to either walk over the it

So this may or may not be my 4th post about Spring. I can't help myself - it's my favorite season. New beginnings, getting rid of stuff, spring cleaning, getting rid of stuff, organizing, getting rid of stuff. You get it, right? Here are 3 things to toss today - Go! 1) Broken or outdated electronics Technology is moving too fast for you to save these items. And if it's broken, by the time you send it away to be fixed or find someone who can fix the item, the technology will l

A Tisket, a Tasket, an organizing basket! In honor of Spring and Easter, I'm highlighting some of my fave storage baskets. I'll happily share with the Easter Bunny...as long as he labels them... ;) 1) Chalkboard label bin Y'all know I love a good chalkboard label. So what could be better than chalkboard labels flanking a nice sturdy bin? Pantry, hall closet, under the sink, or your bedroom closet - it works great anywhere and looks cute. 2) Onion/apple/potato basket all up i

Many of you are experiencing some sort of Spring Break. Well, I have 3 ways to de-clutter whether you are having a stay-cation, a vacation, or are preparing to get away. 1) Stay-cation! Time to get out those Spring clothes! Locate all of those swimsuit, flip-flops, Birks, shorts, tanks, and cover ups - times however many you have in your family.

3 bad clutter habits explained and how to fix them!

Did y'all like last week's new Three Things Thursday format? A tip, a task, and a tool? I liked it so much I'm doing it again. Enjoy! 1) Tip So we just started house hunting ( I know - eeee!!!). And whilst viewing homes I kept thinking about staging and how one's home looks while being shown and how one's home REALLY looks. An un-cluttered home is preferred to pretty much everyone, no? So why do we have clutter laying about? Here's my tip - always treat your home like you

Y'all. I love a alliteration. Obvi I have a "T" thing going on with Three Things Thursday. Today takes the tomato. Today's Three things tells a tip, a task, and a tool! Please say that 3 times fast and send me a video. 1) Tip Clutter is the result of every day life. But how to keep it in check without taking too much time picking up? Try to never leave a room empty handed. One of the kids leave a toy in the kitchen? pick it up on your way to another room. If the toys are

Hello there you tidy people! A friend of mine recently asked me for 3 tips on de-cluttering and organizing. And I was like GAH - JUST 3? Ironically, I happen to have this blog segment where I focus on 3 things each week, so cultivating 3 of my favorite organizing mantras was not really so much of a stretch for me. Also, I happen to say the same things over and over again to clients because THEY WORK. (Clients, if you are reading this, you can attest to my repetition.) 1)

But I love the idea of a book/blog/life full of feel-good rando stories of kindness to lift you up. I also like soup. Talk about your WIN -WIN people. Anyhoodle.. my point is that kindness helps to clear mind clutter. All of your synapses get going and before you know it you are all in a

Does your desktop look like a crazy scattered mess (see below for reference of said crazy scattered mess)? If yes, then, please, please, read this blog post. 1) Stop saving stuff to your desktop. Stop saving stuff to your desktop. If your computer crashes, the stuff on your desktop is the least likely to be recovered. It only takes one more step to save that cat meme to your "cat meme" folder on your hard drive. Don't be lazy (leave that to your cats)! I repeat, Stop savin

Did you know that Monday was National Clean your Desk Day? Yeah..I missed it too. But the week ain't over yet. THERE IS STILL TIME TO CLEAN YOUR DESK. Here are 3 tips on how to tackle the biggest desk clutter nemesis: PAPER. 1) Employ T.I.O.: Touch it once. Try to touch every piece of paper only once EVER.
