whatcha gon' do with all that junk?
Hey Reader,
Right now, there are so many of you who just want to get your houses back in order to prep for the new school year.
My kids don't start school until well after Labor Day, but I know many of your kids start in just a couple of weeks. Wild!
So maybe you have kid summer toys or legos everywhere, and it's just time to put everything back in its place.
With the incoming school year, it's a good idea to de-clutter the old to make space for the new.
We know that decluttering can be a daunting task, but we promise it's totally doable (and even kind of fun, once you get into it).
To help you get started, we've rounded up a few of our favorite decluttering tips and tricks below.

Set a timer. Pick a room or area to declutter, and set a timer for 15-30 minutes. This will help you stay focused and motivated, and you'll be amazed at how much you can accomplish in just a short amount of time.
Make it a game. Turn decluttering into a competition with your family or friends. Who can get rid of the most clutter in a certain amount of time? The winner gets to choose the movie for movie night (or the pizza toppings! Yum!)
Don't let sentimental items hold you back. We get it – it's tough to get rid of things that have sentimental value. But if you're holding onto something just because it holds a special memory, consider taking a picture of it and then letting it go. You can keep the memory without cluttering up your home.
Get rid of duplicates. Do you have multiple coffee makers, toasters, or other appliances taking up space in your kitchen? Keep one, and get rid of the rest. You'll be amazed at how much more open and spacious your kitchen will feel.
Donate or sell items you no longer need. Instead of tossing items in the trash, consider donating them to a local charity or selling them online or at a garage sale. This will not only help declutter your home, but it will also help those in need and potentially bring in some extra cash.
Hope this helps! We're rooting for you,
Cat (& Andrew)

Hey Reader, I was asking my kids in the car this morning about their favorite Thanksgiving foods. They, of course, gave me favorite Thanksgiving food combos. My daughter said she loves gravy, turkey, and mashed potatoes. My son said he loves turkey, cornbread, and cranberry sauce. I, personally, prefer leftovers. There's nothing better than a hot turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce on a bun! Of course, the holidays are more than cooking up a secret family recipe. They're also about spending...
Hey Reader, Last night, I was almost asleep in my bed when something made me get up and recheck the house. It's not uncommon for me to check and re-check the locks and the lights after everyone is in bed. I'd already closed the house down, though, but I still felt like I needed to check it again. Call it instinct, but once I got downstairs, I smelled something burning. I checked the basement, the oven, and then the dishwasher. I couldn't find anything, but just to be safe, I left the...
Hey Reader, Yesterday, I sent an email sharing how much I was enjoying renting and how I feel so much less stressed. I don't think many of us take the time to consider how much homeownership affects our mental health. This can mean a positive correlation, of course. Home is where the heart is, after all. Your home can be a place of comfort, a respite from the outside world. It can be the place you curl up with a book or play with your kids. It can be the setting for family movie night and the...
