The impact of disorganization
October is Mental Health Month, and I don’t know about you, but I could sure use a refresher on how to stay clear-headed during these times! 
We’re also heading into the holidays (what???), which can be super stressful, so now is the time to take stock of your mental state (how are you truly feeling?), and the state of your surroundings (is the clutter bringing you down?), and take action! Yes! You can do it! Just setting a timer for 30-60 min, and doing some decluttering every day is all it takes! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a clear mind so you can enjoy yourself, your family, and your home?

Got 15 minutes?
Who would have thought that we’d still be working from home and that our kids would still be schooling from home? With everyone in the house, the clutter is probably starting to accumulate, right? Well, let’s get it under control before it gets too overwhelming! 🙂 Set a timer for 15-30 minutes and start small. A drawer here, a cabinet there… you’ll be surprised at how little time and effort it will take, and how big an impact it will make! 🙂

While the average person gains only 1 pound over the holidays, research shows that most of us never lose that pound. So by the time we’re in our 40s or 50s, we may weigh a lot more than we like. Holiday weight gain, sadly, is like getting a really bad present with no gift receipt.

Is your pantry ready for the holidays?
Are you as excited as I am that the holidays are almost here?? ? I know it’s not even Halloween yet, but now is the perfect time to begin thinking about holiday family get-togethers and parties you may host. And the one area of the kitchen that is most neglected is the Pantry. Am I right? Bulk food is bought and never used, snacks are bought and thrown in haphazardly, and it’s almost impossible to find what you’re actually looking for, so you go out and buy more! I really like this article on Pantry Organization, and it includes some products that will make organizing your pantry easier. Call me if you need help!
