Hack Your Habits for Decluttering Success!
Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 47Dear Reader, Happy New Year! ๐ So grateful to hang out with you every Friday in your inbox, and looking forward to providing you with tons of decluttering and simplifying tips in 2025! On New Year's Eve I was able to stay up for part of the Penn State/Boise State game (Let's go State!) and then I crashed. My husband and two boys managed to stay up for the ball drop at midnight. It was the first time the boys stayed up past like 9:00 PM. So needless to say, New Year's Day was...interesting. I'm excited to kick off 2025 with a new decluttering challenge in the Facebook group starting Monday, January 6. I'd love to see you there so we can make room for what matters most! On the PodcastI am a self-proclaimed habits geek. My favorite habits books include: โ Atomic Habits by James Clearโ โTiny Habits by BJ Foggโ โBetter Than Before by Gretchen Rubinโ We know that making habits small makes them sustainable, but how else can we effectively leverage habit strategy as busy moms? In this week's episode, Emily Nichols from Habit Hack Your Health and I chat about just that! Make sure to check out the episode, as well as Emily's Training for Life App!

I was shocked. ๐ฎ Now mind you, this has been several years...
Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, My youngest son Sean just learned how to ride his bike. When he started, we ran beside him, holding onto one handlebar as well as the back of his neck to keep him steady, and helping him get started again with a gentle push. Eventually, he didn't need us to hold the handlebar. Then, he didn't need us to hold the back of his neck. Then, he was able to start on his own. I'll always remember when he said, "It's OK. You can let go." Little does he know...
Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, While I'm known for my poetry writing skills, I've NEVER been known for my artistic or crafting abilities. I can draw a stick figure with the best of them, and can maneuver a hot glue gun if required, but that's the extent of my skills. My "special set" does NOT include crafting! So when someone in my Facebook community requested an episode about decluttering and organizing crafting and hobby rooms, I felt out of my element...but up to the challenge!...
