🚚 Three Projects in a Trench Coat: Your Moving Day Survival Guide
The truck is finally here!
After talking through why you're moving, whether it's time, what comes with you, and how to make those decisions without losing your mind, Julie and Janis tackle the big day itself.
As Janis puts it, a move after 60 isn't one project. It's three projects wearing a trench coat, pretending to be one. ...
⏱️ Knowing What to Keep vs. Actually Doing the Sorting: Two Very Different Skills
Episode 4 of the Right-Sizing series shifts from what to keep to how on earth you actually get through the sorting process without collapsing around hour three.
Julie and Janis open with the classic mistake: pulling everything out of a closet at once, turning a manageable afternoon into a bed-floor-and-hallway disaster, and s...
📦 Turns Out You Own Enough to Furnish 3 Houses
Episode 3 of the Right-Sizing series tackles the question that hits the moment a floor plan starts looking real: okay, but what actually comes with me?
Julie and Janis flip the whole mindset here — instead of starting with "what do I have to get rid of" (hello, deprivation mode), start with "what do I want to take with me."
Same ...
🏡 Spoiler: Granite Countertops Should Not Be Making Your Life Decisions
Episode 2 of the Right-Sizing series picks up where Episode 1 left off, and it's time to talk about the M-word: moving.
Not because a TV show said everyone over 60 needs a condo, and not because a granite countertop is judging you (though Julie has notes about vinegar and granite).
Julie and Janis walk through 10 genuinely ...

You've done the mindset work, survived the purge, built a closet you love, and installed the systems to keep it that way. So why do this whole thing again in two years?
Julie and Janis say the answer is simple: the closet monster doesn't grow from what's already in there, it grows from what keeps walking in the door.
Today's finale goes straight...

The verdict from the ex...

Confession time: your car is basically a mobile junk drawer with a steering wheel. Coffee cups multiplying in the cup holders, receipts fossilizing in the door pocket, and somewhere back there are 14 reusable shopping bags breeding like rabbits.
Julie and Janis are calling it out (lovingly) and giving you the system to fix it before road trip season hits full swing.

🚗 Your Car Called. It Wants to Come Home.
You did it. You sorted, you purged, you wrestled with the hazardous materials, and you made the tough calls. Now you're standing in your garage wondering, "Okay… now what?"
That's exactly where Part 2 picks up!
Julie and Janis are back to walk you through turning that sorted-but-still-chaotic space into a genuinely functional garage - one where y...
The garage. Where good intentions go to die, bicycles go to gather dust, and projects go to silently judge you every time you walk past. 👀
This is Part 1 of The JJs' two-part garage series — and today is ALL about sorting and letting go BEFORE any organizing begins. Because organizing stuff you don't need is just neatly arranged clutter. Sound familiar?
Why Garages Are Differen...
You know that narrow strip between your house and the fence?
The one where broken pots go to retire, garden hoses go to tangle, and old lawn chairs go when you feel too guilty to throw them away? 👀
That's your side yard ~ and it's basically the junk drawer of your outdoor spaces.
Today, Julie and Janis are helping you reclaim it AND your whole yard, so it becomes a place you actually WANT to spend ...
Your backyard is calling — and it's asking you to please remove the empty pots, tangled hoses, and dead planters that have been haunting the porch since last October. 🌿

Fur tumbleweeds. Mystery smells. Slobbery toys. Pet beds that have somehow collected half the outdoors.
Sound familiar? 🐾
If you share your home with a pet, you already know they bring us boundless joy, companionship, and entertainment. They also bring chaos, sticky leashes, and enough scattered toys to twist an ankle on at 2am. (Don't ask. Just turn on a light.)
Julie & Janis are...
