Time to post a brag picture to Pinterest! But how often have you kicked clutter to the curb only to find [...]

Here’s a hard truth to swallow. If you live with other family members in your house, but you are the only one attempting to get organized, you will never get the house as organized as you would like it to be. You won’t achieve that goal, because you will be outnumbered by the number of [...]

If you are as anti-clutter as I am, the idea of giving a holiday gift that will just sit and take up space in the recipent’s home is abhorrent (I’m talking about YOU, figurines and so-called “collectables”!)

? Yes, you can take labeling too far. ?Do you cringe seeing labels on bins and shelves in other people’s homes? Do you instantly assume that homeowner is uptight, rigid and perfectionistic?
