November is here and this is the month that many from my secret group Marilyn’s Way focus on the kitchen. It is a great time because the holidays are upon us and it makes it easier to do holiday cooking and baking. More importantly it helps one to get dinner on the table and easy […]
It seems our homes, offices and lives are more cluttered than ever before. A recent UCLA study revealed that American families are overwhelmed by their stuff. Advertisers seem to have sold the idea that our things will save us time and money all while making our lives easier. Instead the truth is our stuff is […]
Are you a SHE? SHE stands for Sidetracked Home Executive in which the ‘Slob Sisters’ coined the phrase. Today many will use this phrase when it comes to explaining different styles of organizing.
