I’m sure I’m not the only one who dreams of a perfectly organized home. Beautifully designed storage areas, everything in its place, “nothing that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” While I’m not a minimalist, I DO want my belongings to be purposefully chosen and well-organized.

A Weekly Planning Session
I promised you a month of posts about organization and time management and then sort of dropped off the map. Sorry about that! I’ve been battling a stubborn asthma attack since the end of December and just haven’t had the mental band width to write coherently. I finally gave in and started steroids last night…
Organization Videos – A Few of My Favorites
I LOVE to watch cleaning, decluttering and organizing videos. I also enjoy the occasional episode of Hoarders or Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners. Okay, maybe more than “occasional”. 😉 I find these interesting and often inspiring. And I’ve learned some good tips from watching them. I’m about to embark on a decluttering and organizing challenge of my…

If the purchase of books made one an expert, I could teach courses in time management. I have been reading time management books since the early years of our marriage. Do I have it all together? Nope. Have I learned some helpful methods for managing my time? Yes, I have. Take a look. Maybe there…
Organizing With Bankers Boxes
Christmas decorations, out-of-season clothes, sentimental mementos, and any number of other items not in daily use need a dedicated spot in our homes if we want to keep things neat, orderly, and easy to locate. By organizing with bankers boxes you’ll have an easy and inexpensive way to store items in your home. This post…
Dee’s Week in Review ~ February 6, 2016
While putting together this week’s review post I decided to use “decluttering” as a focus of sorts. On Tuesday I posted about my Decluttering Challenge so that’s been on my brain this week. By the way, feel free to jump in and join me on this. Take a look at the post for more information….
Decluttering Challenge
During the month of January I participated in a decluttering challenge group on Facebook. The idea is that you get rid of one item on Day 1, two items on Day 2, three items on Day 3, etc. By the end of the 31 days, your house is 496 items lighter. Did I actually get…
