Post Holiday Checklist
Start the new year getting organized, that includes organizing all the holiday decorations...
Post Holiday Checklist:
- Update your holiday card list and address book from cards received
- If you haven’t photographed your decorated spaces and taped the pictures to the front of your storage containers, do so before you pack things up.
- Each of my holiday décor storage tubs contains the items needed to create the scene that is taped to the box. It’s so simple and cuts down on the amount of decisions I need to contemplate. After all, it’s actually the millions of holiday decisions that wipe us out. Take those photos and give your brain a break next year.
- Throw away/ Recycle:
- Lights that don’t work
- Broken ornaments
- Excess left over holiday cards you sent
- Holiday books you don’t read
- Donate:
- Gifts that you don’t want
- Holiday décor that did not get put up
- Excess wrapping paper that you won’t use
New Beginnings, Fresh Routines & Letting Go
July is the perfect time for a mid-summer reset. You don't have to organize your entire home in one weekend—small, intentional projects can make a big difference and help you enjoy the rest of the season. 01 Refresh the Entryway Put away winter leftovers, donate shoes no one is wearing, and create a convenient place for sunscreen, bug spray, hats, and beach bags. 02 Tackle the Garage Group similar items together, remove broken or unused equipment, and create designated storage zones with labeled bins and shelving. 03 Refresh Your Pantry Check expiration dates, organize snacks, and create grab-and-go stations to make summer meals and outings easier. 04 Simplify Kids' Spaces Donate outgrown clothes, rotate toys, and clear away school papers to prepare for a fresh start in the fall. 05 Prepare for Fall Early Whether you're planning a move, downsizing, helping aging parents, or getting your home ready to sell, a little preparation now will make fall much less stressful.
Summer is finally here! With school ending, vacations beginning, graduation celebrations, and more time spent at home, June is the perfect month to create a calmer, more organized space. A little planning now can make your entire summer feel less stressful and more enjoyable. 01 Declutter Before Summer Activities Begin Focus on entryways, mudrooms, kitchen counters, playrooms, and garages. 02 Create a Summer Command Center Keep calendars, camp schedules, vacation plans, and important contacts in one place. 03 Prepare Guest Spaces Clear clutter, refresh linens, and create a welcoming space for summer visitors. 04 Tackle One Small Project at a Time Choose one space such as a pantry, linen closet, or bathroom cabinet and finish it completely. 05 Plan Ahead for Upcoming Moves Summer is one of the busiest moving seasons. Early planning reduces stress and saves time.
