This Christmas my husband and I have really been talking about how we look at Christmas, what our priorities are and how we want to change things quite a bit.  This year we have really been workings towards minimalism.  It’s quite contagious.  Once you start getting rid of things and really taking a [...]

Too Much Stuff

On September 1, 2010 By

I meet a lot of people that look at minimalism as something negative.   They see it as having to do without too much.  They see it as unnecessary.  They see it as sacrifice.  It is a sacrifice, but don’t we have to sacrifice when we need to make room [...]

Living With Less

On July 1, 2010 By

I’ve been cleaning out pretty regularly lately.  I’m continuing to weed out those things that we do not use or do not love.  It’s an ongoing process.  I recently helped an organizing client clear out the clutter in their house.  Each time we had a session, I left their house with a car load [...]

Checking Off To-Do's

On November 12, 2009 By

If you are like me, you have one or two tasks that you continuously put off and add to the next day or next week’s list.  You know what I’m talking about.  There are always a few items on our lists that we just do not want to do, but when we finally do them they usually only take a [...]

Focus On One Thing At A Time

On November 4, 2009 By

If you are anything like me, you sometimes focus on too many things at once.  When you focus on too many things at once, usually nothing gets completed all the way through.   There will usually be a trail of unfinished projects if we continue on this way.
