Paper is the #1 source of clutter between work, kids’ school and artwork, and those warranties and other important papers people think they should keep. How do you deal with paper clutter in your space?
Not a believer in buying ‘for now’ so I waited years to find the exact night table we needed - finally showed up this week and I’m in love! No space to hide clutter so we’re accountable to keep it tidy, space for books and bedside essentials, and clear so it disappears in my small space. ❤️❤️❤️

Said no one ever. Most houses don’t seem to be designed with real life in mind - kitty litter, vacuums, kitchen recycling, etc. Where do you keep these ‘no good place’ items?
Is there anything more satisfying than checking items off a to-do list?! #tadalist
This session on July 10th is for people who are hoarding to learn about how to deal with the clutter, community supports, legal implications, and more. Register online; space is limited.
What are your fav magazines? What do you do with them when you’re done reading?
If you or a loved one is struggling with hoarding, get in touch for help with assessment, hands-on interventions, as well as information and support.
Sooo I’m a firm believer in working on yourself and growing; no fixed mindsets up in here. But I’m pretty over the ‘your best self’ movement that hones in on your insecurities to convince you that unless you’re Instagram-level organized, super fit, taking the latest and greatest approach to parenting, eating whatever the latest food revolution is, or are Jedi-level mindful that you’re not your best self. Yesterday my best self lost a pair of earrings, swore, ate junk food at the movies (which I didn’t practice ‘good sleep hygiene’ to see - why are movies so late?!), didn’t make my bed, and ignored the tumbleweeds of cat fur rolling around. Be YOUR best self in whatever form that takes - organized or not. And screw buying something to transform into someone else’s version of ‘your best self’.
Last night my husband and I went on a spontaneous movie date and I realized I couldn’t find a pair of earrings he’d bought me on a trip to Italy a couple years ago. They weren’t in their place so I searched the typical spots I might temporarily put them and NOTHING. I then took a @chaptersindigo /late movie break (searching in panic never goes well) and came home with a new game plan. I could loosely recall (after obsessively thinking about the earrings 😳) the last time I’d worn them so I started going through my photos to confirm. By looking through pics, I realized I’d worn them again on a Valentine’s excursion to @theinnbymallardcottage annnnd - had a pic of my husband carrying my overnight bag (while actually trying to snag a pic of their gorgeous stairs 😜) which I hadn’t used since. I hopped up, went to my luggage spot and - voila, there they were! This is the second time recently that I thought I’d lost something important to me and both times it threw me because I always put stuff in the same place to avoid this exact situation. Both times replaying my steps helped but this time the photo was the clue I needed. How often do you misplace or lose stuff? How do you find items you’ve lost?
Yeah sure I’ll store my sandals, raincoats, down coat and summer jackets in the one closet. No worries June.
