Welcome back to the show my Friend!Welcome to November! We are approaching the start of the Christmas Season, and with that starts to creep in thoughts of needing to do some decluttering.
It is always a good idea to have control of the clutter, but especially in anticipation of the kids accumulating new toys, games, books and more at Christmas Time.
With everything, I think it is important to break things down into systems to help us understand what needs to be done, and when.

By understanding the 3 phases of how clutter accumulates in our homes, we can better be equipped to manage each of these phases by creating a system around it.
So today, I am going to help you do just that by showing you the 3 part system for managing your clutter in the home, along with some questions and considerations to keep in mind as you think about ways of creating a system around each part.

Welcome back to the show my Friend!
In last week's episode I gave you a permisison slip to START SMALL when it comes to getting organized, and tackling all those little organizing projects around your home or in your life.
Building on that...I don't want you running straight to the dollar store with credit card out throwing any cheap organizing product you can find into your cart.
We need to answer the question, are dollar store products worth it?
If we are starting SMALL when it comes to getting organized, then isn't the dollar store an acceptable place to shop for some of the tools you may need to organize your closet, cupboard, bedroom etc?
In this episode today, we will talk about...I want to give you 3 SIMPLE TIPS to keep in mind when you are out shopping at the dollar store....or ANY place where you can find organizing products for 'less' to help you determine
Is this worth it?Am I actually paying more than I mean too for this?Is the quality going to stand up?Is it wiser to invest in something else that is sized better for my space?We don't want to fall into the trap of thinking that organizing products have to cost a bunch of money...no. I am not here for that. BUT we DO have to be careful and strategic about what we are buying and where from.
So keep these little tips in your back pocket next time you head out.
Happy organizing friends, and all the best!
