Simple Organizing Challenge

As the days get warmer and I see those first long-awaited signs of spring, I begin to feel the urge to do some decluttering, spring cleaning and sprucing up of my home. What felt warm and cozy (and “hyggelig“) during the cold, dark days of winter begins to feel a bit cluttered. That’s when I…

Things I Need After Watching Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners

September 23, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 11 Comments

I love the British series, Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners. I like it even better than How Clean is Your House? and that was a favorite.

I’m about to embark on a decluttering and organizing challenge of my…
