Summer always seems to fly by, and before we know it, we're packing away swimsuits, beach gear, and backyard essentials. The tricky part? Deciding what’s worth keeping and what’s ready to go. Too often, people toss something in September only to regret it when the warm weather rolls around again. A little strategy goes a long way in saving time, money, and stress from one season to the next.
Read MoreSpring is in the air, we’ve spent time decluttering, and now we must decide what to do with all of our unwanted items. Maybe during your decluttering process, you’ve sold a few items and donated others. But if your collection of unwanted items is large, trying to offload pieces one by one can be very time consuming. Enter the yard sale!

If we’re being honest, it’s probably where all our junk goes after we complete a decluttering project inside our home. Did you know that an estimated 25% of homeowners do not store their cars in their garage? What?!?! Yes, it’s true. People have so much stuff that they often can’t park their cars in their garage! And what’s more, the garage often gets so full of items that the homeowners can’t even find (or remember!) what they have saved.
Read MoreSummer is a time for fun in the sun, BBQs, family gatherings, beach trips and lots of sunscreen. When the fun winds down, the kids go back to school, and we get back to a more scheduled daily routine, it’s a good time to edit out summer items that have seen better days. This is a great list to get your started on your decluttering and organizing journey!
