It keeps happening. My feed reader gets away from me. I try to purge feeds, but I keep adding more and more new ones. I can’t help it. The lists of unread blog posts grows faster than I can keep up. They multiply exponentially, I’m certain, because it takes no time at all to have [...]

Here is my reoccurring organizing/clutter delima. The landing zone. It’s this little piece of counter between my fridge and my stove. This is where everything that comes into my house lands first. Usually, the stuff gets moved to where it actually belongs, but often stuff just stays here. It drives me crazy! This is how [...]

This is a re-post from last September. I started to write on this topic today and looked back at this. It still says what I am thinking right now! Enjoy! The more I think about it, the more I believe that most of the stress and busyness in women’s lives comes from clutter. I’m not [...]

Enjoy this post from the past as I am on vacation mode this week! The more I think about it, the more I believe that most of the stress and busyness in women’s lives comes from clutter. I’m not just talking about the extra junk lying around the house (although that can be a huge [...]
