Being Cluttered Is Emptying Your Bank Account



Clutter is expensive! Being cluttered can empty out your wallet or pocketbook. How?  Let me give an example:

I go outside and I need to replace the bulbs in my motion sensor lights. If I am organized, then I know exactly where to go and find the replacement bulbs. If I'm a cluttered, unorganized person, then I  won't know where they are! It may be too full in the spaces to even go through the piles of stuff to find them. So what would happen is that I go out and buy bulbs.  I just spent unnecessary money.

Times are tough. I know that I'm counting EVERY penny! Being organized saves me money! Another reason to declutter and get organized!

Crock Pots Are Good For Busy Lives!


 You're busy! Or you're not the greatest cook.  I recommend the Crock Pot! Crock Pots and Slow Cookers are great! They range in price and size. I got mine from Big Lots for $20 bucks! I remember when I was a kid and my mom would pull out the big, heavy crock pot during the winter time and make stews and soups. Recently I decided to get one myself and I am so glad I did! It reminds me of my childhood and the wonderful smell of whatever is cooking.

You can make all kinds of stuff in a Crock Pot and the best part is that you do very little. You get the ingredients of whatever you are making and throw it in and let it slow cook all day. After you are done, you have food for days.  You can focus on other things while its cooking, like organizing a closet. hehe...

Being Thankful Every Day!




Sometimes it may be hard to remember to be thankful. There are times when its hard to find the way to feel thankful. I live in gratitude everyday. I am thankful every day. It took me over 40 years to get here. It was a long road but I am here. I am glad to be...here!

I invite all of you to every day think of ONE thing to be thankful for. IT could be ANYTHING. Thankful you woke up. Thankful for the coffee. Thankful for your children. Thankful for the jeans you're wearing. It doesn't matter. There is no restriction.

Another thing I am thankful for.....all of you who read my blogs! Thank You!

Dreams Can Become Realities!




I really like this quote! I find it educational. Its great to dream and have a dream. But to turn a dream into reality you have to create a plan to make it happen. The same applies to decluttering a space.  Create a list or step by step plan and it keeps you organized and the dream becomes attainable. It becomes real!

Organization Does Not Equal Perfection








THIS is a great quote by Christina Scalise! I COMPLETELY agree! Perfection is NEVER the goal but it is unattainable. You will drive yourself crazy trying to reach it! Organization is about finding efficient ways to do things that HELP your life run smoother!
