Your home is a hot mess, what shall I do.

Overwhelmed with organizing

You have this wonderful picture in your mind of this perfect home, that is organized, very neat that your mother can do the white glove treatment.  Then all of a sudden everything changes a bit.

Life gets crazy, your move so many times, Children came along, may I say more.  You start to get overwhelmed with everything, You turn to your spouse and say, you don't know where to begin, Or you don't know how to do this.  Where did all those come from, a lot of them are sentimental you and her family a lot of the memories,  of your parents much more. 

Asked your family fairy godmother what to do.    Or consult a professional organizer for help. 

There is no such thing as a perfect home. Simplifying your home is where you should be. It is ok if you are not there yet.

There are some simple tips that I would like to share.

1.  Choose a room that needs a little love.
2.  Create zones to see all the stuff you have.
3.  DeClutter,  letting go of things that don't fit in the space.
4.  Creating a space that is more functional for everyone.

Choosing a room that needs a little love.

You might have a room that you throw everything into it,   You staying to yourself  I will get to it one day.  Well, today is your day.    Start setting up your zones,  Begin places items in those boxes in the zone area. 

Take a step back and see all those items there just sitting collecting dust.  Asked yourself why do you need a thousand books, that you haven't had time to read just one.  Do your kids need all those extra toys, much more.

Creating Zones to see all the stuff you have.

Seeing all through items in there, you're wondering how did they get there.  Someday you might want to use some of those things.   The reality sets in, you're not going to, and its time to let go of it.

Decluttering Letting things go that does not fit into space,

You find this step of the process a difficult one,  you have a sentimental feeling for some of the items you an emotional attachment to them in some way.

When you take the first item and place it in the giveaway pile it is so freeing and giving you the clarity that you will be able to let extra things go,  to move forward in organizing the space into a fictional and healthy space that your family will enjoy.

Creating a space that is more functional for everyone,

Congratulations you did it!  Seeing the space of your choice organized and functional for a family, for entertaining friends and family,  even for a birthday party.   You have a sense of joy happiness, feeling on top of the world for reaching that goal.

Of having a well-organized home,  that your family would be happy to live in for many years.
