Last week, I told you how clutter stresses me out and takes time away from my life. I also promised you some tips for decluttering your house. Here goes . . .
1. Commit to change - I said last week that getting organized and decluttering is like losing weight. Really, it is. You have to be […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again . . . clutter is a major problem at my house. I watch shows like “Clean House” and “Clean Sweep” and I think ‘Geez. If I just had them come to my house, I could get this done.’ Honestly though, I’m too embarrassed to be video taped with […]

My husband has been complaining about our very expensive canister vacuum since we got it about 6 years ago (FYI - we bought it used). I liked the vacuum cleaner because it was good on carpet and hardwood floors. This past year my husband has been talking to me about getting a Dyson vacuum cleaner. […]
Well, it’s a new week. Don’t forget to make this week’s cleaning list, to help you stay focused.
