One of the things I talked about at the home show on Sunday was the importance of not leaving a bunch of stuff for your family or friends to have to go through if something would happen to you. It is better to let the stuff go now, then to leave it for others to have to deal with it. Family members call me all the time and are overwhelmed with having to deal with it all. Here is an article that explains the items that most family members do not want. If you have any of these items, check with family and see if they are interested in any of the items, and if not, check with antique dealers or coin collectors etc. to see if you can sell those items. Can you relate to having to go through your parents items???

Happy International Women's Day. One of the problems I often see among women is that we are responsible for a lot of household work, taking care of the children and working long hours. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are a lot of men that have a lot on their plates as well, but I see it most often with women. Maybe because I hang out with more women. To make it easier for both women and men, I did a podcast on Productivity - How to Become More Productive - 7 Easy Steps. Feel free to check it out and as an added BONUS you will find my Productivity Action Plan (pdf) which you can print off and use. I hope it helps you work towards your goals, without feeling so overwhelmed. Do you find it hard to keep up with your daily tasks?

Even in homes where getting by is a bit of a struggle, Christmas is generally a time of indulgence in Australia. We max out our credit cards buying ‘stuff’, eat more than we should, eat fancier than normal and generally over-do it financially (and in other ways). At the same time that we spoil o...Fill in the Blank…

10 years ago i would have loved it... Today, I find I'm more fond of the clear nothing on the counter look.
It looks pretty but I too prefer minimal stuff on my counters.
Looks like the items I use to stage my bathrooms! Adding softer, organic textures to spaces that have many hard surfaces, helps create balance & warms up the space.
I like the colours but I don’t like anything on my counters, and I don’t like the sinks on top of the counters but that’s me. When I do Home Staging I do not use any dried flowers at all, nor do I have them in my home, they’re dust collectors, again my opinion. Fresh flowers fine.
I like the colors, but I don't like extra stuff on the counter like that (jus the candle, or the flowers)
It's pretty but tge glass mirror tray would need alot of extra cleaning
I love the high end and elegant look too.
Love this
Love it
L♥️VE!
Love!
Love it
Very pretty!
Friday Funny. Actually, this is a really good idea and we do it often. Cleaning companies don't always tidy and organize before they clean, so we will come in and tidy everything up and put everything away in a timely and functional manner, which makes it easier for the cleaning company to come in and clean.
We work with reputable cleaning companies, so if you need both organizing and cleaning, we can help you out with the organizing, and have a cleaning company come in and clean. It's a win-win situation!
Are you ready to tackle 2019? I have been doing some planning but needed something that I could view every month. I like to plan ahead so I thought I would share with you my new wall calendar. I bought it off of Amazon and I am now ready to start filling it in. This will make it much easier for me to plan. Yay! Sometimes it is the smallest things (although this is not small lol) that makes me happy. 😊
