Decluttering Tips and Support Weekly Newsletter Vol. 54Dear Reader, Most of us grew up with this mantra about rest planted firmly in our heads: Or perhaps you see rest as a reward when EVERYTHING is done...except here's the thing - it's never all done. ๐ On the PodcastThis week on the podcast I had the pleasure of speaking to Courtney Carver from Be More with Less about her new book Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want. Specifically, we dive into: Things I'm Loving Right Nowโจ One of my favorite tools to stay organized is my scanner! I love ScanSnap and try to scan important documents at least once a week. I also use the Notes app on my iPhone which can easily scan documents as well! โจ My decluttering/organizing resource of the week is the The Modern Momโs Simple Home Reimagined Summit coming up on March 1st and hosted by Mia Danielle. It's a free 3-day event that will help you master simple systems, streamline your routines, and enjoy a calm space that aligns with your roles and needs. Register here! โจ My favorite meal of the week (although my kids were less impressed this time around ๐) is this super simple slow cooker chicken curry. Bold but not spicy! What are some things you're loving right now? Hit reply and let me know. On the journey with you, Emily P.S. Skipped to the end? No problem! I had the pleasure of speaking to Courtney Carver about how to rest more, stress less, and embrace the gentler you. *Note: affiliate links may be included, which means I get a small commission if you use my link - thanks! |

Decluttering Tips and Support Dear Reader, Recently my oldest son called out to me right before he was about to go to bed: "Mom! I need you! I think I decluttered too much!" My initial thought... He showed me an Amazon box full of trinkets he had decluttered from his "treasure box" - a shoe box that is the physical boundary for all the small knick-knacks he gets from school, birthday parties, etc. He had decluttered WITHOUT prompting! 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!...
