Spring is a perfect time to put some love into your home and get some spring cleaning tackled. Spring cleaning is about confronting nature and cleaning away the dust and dirt that may have accumulated in your home over the winter months, while tidying (as Marie Kondo puts it) is confronting yourself and tackling the accumulation of belongings in your home.

As a certified KonMari® Consultant and Professional Organizer, I know first hand how it can be overwhelming in knowing where to start your home organizing efforts. There is so much information out there! It is no wonder more than 1 out of 4 Americans would like to be better organized according to the National Association of Productivity & Organizing. So here are three tips to get you started:

Before you declutter it is helpful to think about your goals and the life you envision. Often times when working on “envisioning you future space” it is helpful to have images to focus on. I thought compiling some images from my own home over time could be helpful to see what a clutter free home looks like for us.

Once you have done the work to fully declutter your whole home, then comes the inner work of living more intentionally.

With the holidays quickly approaching, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to find the right gifts for little ones especially if you are an aspiring minimalist or in the process of decluttering your home. First of all it is important to remember the purpose of the holidays for your family. For many, the holiday season is truly about gratitude and spending quality time together.

With holiday season quickly approaching, you might be thinking, “How can I prepare my home for all those holiday gifts… especially the toys?” Having a plan in place may make it less stressful and wont derail your efforts to simplify or declutter your space. If you are like many parents out there and struggling with getting the toys under control, then this is for you.

Our holiday was full of joy, game nights, outdoor time, group bowling, and even group yoga at my nearby studio. While this was not a waste free holiday, it was a huge improvement from past years. For me it is not about perfection as I can only control me and I was only 1 person out of a group of 10 people. But I have noticed others enjoying some of the switches we have made in our home.

It all began with coming home from my son’s 3rd birthday and unloading the presents. We are so fortunate to have many friends and a large extended family that care about our son… and who together gave him A LOT of presents. The reality of seeing the amount of stuff brought into our home all at once was eye opening.

A 10 day trip to Europe with no checked bags? You can do it! If you are interested in packing lighter on your next trip, I highly encourage it. We did not check any bags, and even with that, I would bring less on our next trip. The key is to pack clothing that you really love wearing and find comfortable.
