The #1 Rule To Stay Clutter Free

  I’ve been working hard on staying balanced and mental and physical breaks are a big part of the equation.  Freeing yourself mentally is just as important as removing physical clutter in your life.  It helps you re-focus and regain your energy.   Just got back from the sandy white beaches of Destin, Fl.  We…

Find Out My Everyday “Must Do”

      Guess who’s bursting with excitement? I’m in the process of overhauling my office and converting it an office/studio combo.  One of the many changes that are coming up in the next few weeks and months as I’m giving a facelift to my whole business. But one thing that will stay the same…

Break The Clutter Habit!

      School’s back in session after a long holiday break. And mama’s feeling pretty good right now. It was getting hard to keep the boys busy those last few days. There’s a point where Lego’s, Wii, reading and even football just get plain ole’ old. And as if keeping them entertained isn’t hard…

Organized Junk Drawers. Seriously?

    It’s crunch time.  Even though we’re not hosting Thanksgiving, the pressure’s on to get my work done by this evening.  Not the world’s worst problem to have.  I need to shorten my work week so I can indulge in food coma by a warm fire.  Yeah, it could be worse. But even still…

How To Decide What To Keep

    Today marks my second day with both kids at school.  That makes this mama very happy.  Luckily I was able to celebrate my first day of freedom with girlfriends over mimosas and chocolate-covered pretzels.  What would a girl do without her posse?! But before school started I had this anxious “nesting” feeling.  Like…

The Age-Old Strategy That Saves Money and Eliminates Clutter

  Back from vacation and back to reality.  Ever notice how it takes just as many days to catch up as the number of days you were away?!  As soon as we got back from vacay I was busy planning our baby’s birthday.  Well, not really a baby anymore.  Six years old!  I know, ridiculous!…
