It seems like people are always asking me recommendation storage boxes and bins that will fit nicely in the storage units most towns have. Usually, there are just too many factors to take into account to have a “go to” solution: size, material, cost, aesthetics. My one exception are Samsill’s POPn’ Store Storage Boxes. I’m […]
Last week was one of those where every client work day involved books. One client purged more than a half dozen boxes of books without a second thought. Another wanted to keep everything (even duplicates) because “every old book has value” and yet another wanted them organized by color of binding (that was a first for me!). […]
Happy New Year! The first full weekend in January has now passed and you *should* be addressing much needed Christmas storage. People often debate about the exact time to “un-decorate.” I can’t get on board with taking down decorations on Boxing Day (December 26th); it’s still Christmas! But when should they come down? It’s a […]
It’s that time of year again, time to start holiday decorating! I’ve always been “old school,” meaning the tree goes up Thanksgiving weekend and not a moment sooner.

A year ago, I posted about the Bullet Journal. All things considered, a bullet journal is just a grid notebook. You can create daily, weekly, monthly, and/or annual calendars and to-do lists, keep notes from meetings, as a diary, and more. Buying a pre-printed planner is tough. You can love the color scheme but hate […]
At this moment, I am not a mom. Well, I am but it’s to two cats. Sometimes when I go to friends’ homes and, not going to lie, the sheer amount of kids things overwhelms me. Until I get a glass of wine, all I see is kid clutter. Disclaimer: I’m not being judgmental; my […]
Do you have wonder how some people always seem to have neat, organized homes? It’s really quite simple: they’ve made a habit of getting and keeping it that way. It takes time to make a habit stick. According to James Clear, The 3 R’s of Habit Change are Reminder, Routine, and Reward. Try implementing these over […]
Let’s get your stuff SOLD. If you’ve been reading my blog the past few months, you have probably already purged some of your home. If you haven’t, look here and here for some tips. eBay is a great way to turn these unwanted items into extra cash. Their site says, “Selling on eBay is as […]
Oy vey. How many times have you heard that before from your husband/kids/roommate/stranger living in your home? Okay, maybe its time for a grocery run or maybe you’re like me and don’t want any junk in the house and the healthy options don’t “sound” good. Or MAYBE there is plenty in the pantry and refrigerator […]
Today finds many of us making New Year’s resolutions of one kind or another. Some of us want to lose weight, others want to quit smoking, still more want to get their finances in order. Take a look around yourself: how cluttered is your environment? Are you still surrounded by Christmas gifts because you do […]
