Create More Space By De-Cluttering Your Home

Carol 14 Comments

1. Creating space starts with decluttering

For the last few months I have re-evaluated each room and its furnishings as I packed up everything for the new floor.  This week I want to talk about our “stuff.” I have found that I love being in a room with less furniture and decorations. I have given away and thrown away lots of  “stuff”.  If you feel like your home is cluttered, disorganized, or has too many unwanted items, then it’s time to clean it out. A home that feels spacious and minimal makes for a more comfortable, less stressful environment.  Decluttering can also be a somewhat therapeutic process, helping you eliminate things you no longer need from your life and start again. You should aim to declutter regularly to help keep your living spaces clear and your drawers and  closets organized. Use a checklist to help you declutter every room of your home and be prepared to get ruthless with your decisions over what to throw out and what to keep. I’ve made a basic De-Clutter Checklist by room – fill free to update with other rooms and types of items. It is available as a PDF for you to download and print.

Kindness Is Like Snow Inspirational Printable

Carol 9 Comments

As I explained last week, I like to do inspirational prints.  I find it helps me stay focused on what is important in life when things get crazy. The last few weeks for me have seemed crazy with the irrational way people have been acting.  I try to stay positive and centered and I wish the same for you.  Today’s quote on one of my favorite topics, Kindness,  is from Kahil Gibran, a Lebanese-American writer, artist and I believe philosopher although he rejected that title. His book, The Prophet,  was first published in the United States in 1923 and has since become one of the best-selling books of all time, having been translated into more than 100 languages.

Brown Sugar & Oatmeal Body Scrub

Carol 7 Comments

This is a natural, easy, recipe to exfoliate your body. If you are avoiding chemicals and want to save money, this simple DIY beauty treatment is for you.  I like using organic olive oil but coconut, avocado, jojoba, almond, or grapeseed oils also work well.  The added honey and oatmeal will nourish your skin while the sugar will exfoliate it.  Use once a week on your body. Rinse well after use, and pat dry.

Choose To Be Grateful Printable

Carol 25 Comments

We are in the season of gratitude.  I believe the end of October through November is a time to prepare for the November holiday of Thanksgiving, and I don’t mean just planning a menu.  All too often, we seem to lose sight of what is important.  Holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter become days of excess instead of times to remember our blessings and thank God.
