Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 50Dear Reader, When my boys learned they actually had a FULL day of school yesterday (instead of a snow day or 2-hour delay), this was their response: Meanwhile, my mom friends and I were: On the PodcastOne of the benefits of the kids being back in school is that they aren't leaving their stuff (what my organizer friend Lisa Lizotte lovingly calls "droppings") all over the house. This week's podcast episode was inspired by someone in the Facebook group: “I’m fighting so hard for a peaceful home that is clear of clutter. My mind can’t handle the mess.

Between bone broth and tea, I am white knuckling my way through, but it is causing some interesting cravings. This week's guest, Jess Przulj from the Habit Stacking Mom Podcast, is talking all things habits and habit stacking.
