This picture is from my walk on Christmas day.
Those classic holidays were great and all, but one of my favorite holidays is coming up: Galentines Day! ❤️ Feb 13 💜

Celebrate your girlfriends. Buy them gifts. Make them food. Hug them and do stuff together. I can't wait!

Being prepared is part of being organized. It also makes your life easier.

Organizing with family members can be dangerous. ...

Organizing with family members can be dangerous. Luckily, I'm a professional. So working on my husband Jeff's closet turned out pretty great.
Also, he's in love with me. So that helped.

Listen to his testimonial. It's pretty cute.

"We’re not destined to destroy everything ...

"We’re not destined to destroy everything we love. If we can forgive ourselves for failing to become perfect, for still wanting what we want in spite of our efforts to want less, then we can feel more. We can awaken to our fears and our passions, breathe in the violent wind, and savor the dirty corners of our awful personalities.

Knowing who you are is magic. You hypnotize the barbarians
by merely
holding your ground."

My #1 kitchen assistant, Marvin, asked me today, "Do you have any organizing routines you do in the morning which help our home stay more organized?"

🐕🏡

Wow Marv! Thanks for asking. In fact I do! Every morning ASAP I empty our dishwasher. This sets us up for a cleaner kitchen all day.

🐕🏡

But Marvin already knew that because he helps every morning.

What mistake do people make most often when organizing?

People give up on an organizing system or technique because they fall behind a little. Don't give up!
If it has worked for you before, it works for you. Simplify it or just give yourself some grace about falling behind. Keep going, Friend.
