Decluttering Holiday Items and Storage Areas {NetZero Decluttering Challenge 2018}




Do you feel overwhelmed during the month of December with all the stuff that enters your home? It makes it hard to enjoy this festive time of year.

I've found that when I declutter it really helps me feel less overwhelmed and I can enjoy the holidays so much more.  Will you join me in the Net Zero Decluttering Challenge this year?

Last week was a big week for items coming into our homes and you might be feeling overwhelmed now as you step over and around all the new gifts and empty boxes. If you've been decluttering all month, you should have space to put those items away into their new "homes". But even if you haven't decluttered earlier in the month, there's still time to do some decluttering to make room for all the new stuff :)

Today I'm sharing tips for decluttering your post-holiday items and storage areas.

Merry Christmas 2018!




Merry Christmas! There's always so much prep and then the big day is here... whether we're ready for it or not. With several busy days ahead with family and friends, I wanted to pop in now and wish you all a wonderful Christmas. It's late on Christmas Eve and I'm taking advantage of a few quiet moments :)

We celebrated with my family yesterday and will be celebrating with my husband's family on Christmas Day. Then I'm hosting an extended family celebration on Boxing Day.

Decluttering Living Areas {NetZero Decluttering Challenge 2018}




Do you feel overwhelmed during the month of December with all the stuff that enters your home? It makes it hard to enjoy this festive time of year.

I've found that when I declutter throughout the month it really helps me feel less overwhelmed and I can enjoy Christmas much more.  Will you join me in the Net Zero Decluttering Challenge this year?

If you're entertaining at all over the holidays you'll want your main living areas to be clutter-free so you have space for your guests to enjoy themselves. Rooms like your living room, family room, dining room, and entry / hallway.  If you're having guests stay with you during the holidays, this would be a good time to declutter the guest room too.

Decluttering Christmas Items {Net Zero Clutter Challenge 2018}




It's December! And you know what that means... clutter! For most of us, more items enter our homes this month than any other time of year. And we're so much more aware of the clutter in our homes because we tend to entertain more this month than other times of the year as well.

Besides all that, December can feel so overwhelming... there are so many extra tasks to do, places to go, and people to see.

All of these factors make it hard to enjoy this otherwise wonderful time of year!

Whenever I feel overwhelmed I've learned that I will usually feel better if I declutter (at any time of year... it's really a stress reliever!). But over the last several years I've found that the single most important thing I can do to help me feel less overwhelmed in December is to declutter throughout the month.

Once I reduce that overwhelm, I can enjoy Christmas much more! So this year I will be decluttering again :)

For the last three years, I've hosted the #NetZeroClutter challenge and many of you joined in and decluttered in December. Will you join the Net Zero Decluttering Challenge this year?

Peek Inside Professional Organizers' Homes!




Once again, I'm so excited to be included in this month's Professional Organizers Blog Carnival!

What is the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival?  It's a monthly blog post that professional organizers contribute to.  Each month is a different theme and includes posts related to that topic from several professional organizers.  It's a great place to find advice, ideas, and tips for the theme of the month.

This month is all about pulling back the curtain and seeing what happens inside professional organizers' homes! Find out our dirty little secrets ... kind of like when Toto pulls back the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. Yep... we're just human beings like you... not magical wizards. BUT... we love to organize and in these posts you'll find lots of tips to help you organize your homes!.
