Hey Friends,
Today's Tip of the Week- Would I Rebuy This?
Do you need help with clutter and deciding what to keep or eliminate? We've all been there. For many people, decluttering brings up emotions like guilt or fear that can cloud your judgment when deciding whether an item is helpful in our lives.
We tend to hold onto things because of the memories they evoke, even if they no longer serve a practical purpose.

Hey Friends,
Today's Tip of the Week- take a break..from social media.
Before thoughts of FOMO set in, I’m not suggesting a permanent break, think of this more of a reset.
Freeing up even 30 minutes per day allows you to be intentional in other areas of your life. I suggest having a specific “thing” to replace your scrolling. Whether reading, going for a walk, going to the gym, or dare I say it…organizing a space.

Today we’re talking about homework. Giving your kids a "Homework Hub" a designated area where your child does his/her homework on a regular basis. It can be anywhere from a desk in their room, a home office, or the kitchen table.
For us, it made the most sense to use our breakfast bar in our kitchen as the girls' hub. There is plenty of room for them to spread out to do their work, they have a designated area to store their supplies...

Today’s tip of the week is the 2 minute rule: If you can do something in 2 minutes or less, do it rather than procrastinating.
Simple tasks like opening the mail, putting the dishes in the dishwasher, hanging up your coat, folding the blanket on the couch-are little wins that have a larger impact.
We underestimate the negative impact on our mood or stress levels from neglecting to do these simple tasks.
So the next time you are about...

Knowing what to do, or how to do it, can be overwhelming, but today’s guest is going to break it down for us.
