Everything In Place

As much as I love celebrating my kids, I don’t love buying the same things over and over again. 🎈

With four kids, birthdays seem to happen on a loop around here, so I’ve gotten into the habit of reusing our foil balloons year after year. It’s a simple way to save money, cut down on waste, and avoid accumulating more party supplies than we actually need.

Most people don’t realize you can deflate foil balloons through the valve instead of popping them. It takes a little patience the first time, but once you learn how, it’s a game changer.

Do you reuse party decorations, or are you team one-and-done?

New game 👉🏻 Take a shot every time I say “corner cabinet” 😂😂😂
But srsly the key to organizing ANY area is to make sure you’re maximizing and optimizing your space. As a pro organizer who has worked in hundreds of homes these shelf risers are a great tool for that and are almost always in my trunk when I go declutter and organize my clients!

🚫 No instructions
🚫 No precooked meals
🚫 No babysitters booked
🚫 No schedules made

Looking forward to my next trip this summer where I will once again simply walk out the door and leave it in his hands 🙌🏻

Work with your kids, not against them. 💜

As a professional organizer, I’ve never walked into a family home that didn’t have an overflowing stuffed animal collection. 😂

The thing is, stuffies aren’t usually just clutter. They’re comfort items, bedtime buddies, souvenirs, and little pieces of childhood. Which is why forcing kids to get rid of them before they’re ready often creates more stress than solutions.

Instead, I love finding ways to work with my kids, not against them. For us, that meant using a bean bag chair cover to store all the stuffies. It keeps them contained, gives them a home, and doubles as extra seating for reading or lounging.

Sometimes getting organized isn’t about getting rid of more. It’s about creating systems that work for your family. 💜

🚫🔋 No Power? No Problem 🔌
Just kidding, I find it really annoying when we lose power because of a strong breeze 🙄

Here is what I have in my No Power Box:
✔️ Battery operated candles
✔️Fairy lights
✔️ Flashlights
✔️ Telephone
✔️ Candles & lighter

What should we add to this?
