Declutter Your Way To A Happy Home

In the seemingly never ending quest to reduce clutter and simplify our lives it’s just hard to let go sometimes.

A few key questions and a clear vision of where you want to be can certainly help keep you going in the right direction.

Toys – Less Can Be More

Now that Christmas has settled I am going through and organizing the kids’ playroom and bedroom. I have always known that they have a lot of stuff, but I am realizing more and more just how much they have. There are a lot of toys! Bins were overflowing, cubes were stuffed, and shelves were filled up. My goal recently was to go through their toys, and declutter everything I could get away with.

Get Organized by Breaking it Down

As I was rummaging through my medicine “cabinet” yesterday (which consisted of Rubbermaid bins stuffed full of expired medicines), it occurred to me that I really needed to do some reorganizing. I know that at some point I had my linen closet (and my medicines) organized, but after a while it just became a mess in there.

Want to be a Good Host? – Make Your Guests Feel Welcome!

In my busy life, I need to do whatever I can to make life easier. One thing that I find helpful is multi tasking, something that I seem to do more and more as life goes on.

What to Do With Leftover Halloween Candy – Great Ideas

Now that Halloween is over, we are left with more than enough leftover candy. Between trick-or-treating, the Halloween preschool party, and candy from grandparents, we have quite a bit in our pantry right now. I don’t feel too bad about munching on it for a couple of days, but after a while I really need to get rid of some of that stuff. But what am I going to do with it all?

Create A Play Area That Fits

If you have children then you know all too well that they come with toys. Many MANY toys. Those toys seem to multiply every week. Some toys are great they can spark imagination, creativity and a sense of wonder in little ones. They can help pass a rainy afternoon and even provide valuable insight into our child’s world.

Start Planning Your Christmas Shopping – And Start Clearing Out Old Toys

Not only is it time to start thinking about Christmas gifts for the kids, but it’s also time to start thinking about Christmas purging.
