We’re always talking about clutter here. How to beat clutter, get rid of it, minimize the disorder, and so on. But, here’s the deal; clutter is like beauty, sort of in the eye of the beholder. I’m a minimal type myself. If I can’t use it, don’t like it, or don’t honestly need it, an [...]

Organizing a move is a lot of work. Trust me, last month I found out I had to move within the span of a month, and it was no picnic. If you’re moving the best thing to have is time, not move on the spur of the moment like I just did. That said, no [...]

In the previous post we looked at, how to get your kids to clean and organize. I left one tip out. My reasoning for leaving this tip off the original list was because I think it’s one of the most important kid tips around - especially when it comes to chores, so I figured we’d [...]

Getting your kids in line with cleaning and organizing is not as hard as you might think. Here are some ideas…
