Why I love the KonMari Method
Marie Kondo, the creator of the Konmari Method, got my attention with her starting questions for her clients, "What do you want your lifestyle to look like?" Followed by, "What sparks joy?"
In this blog, I get to share my connection of the KonMari method to a lifestyle that matches and enhances my values and SPARK!
Why Creative Juices Run Dry
Filling my schedule and day with to-do lists can cloud my creativity and, therefore, my organization. When I get to my Values, my creative juices run wild into simplicity.
This blog is about shifting our mindset from the busyness that can dry us out and keep us unorganized; to having more energy to simplify what matters most, you!
How Boundaries Keep Me Organized
Are you struggling with your spouse or roommate when it comes to keeping your home tidy and organized? Let me tell you, this can become a huge struggle in my relationship with my husband.
This blog is about how setting clear boundaries for myself has kept my focus on my side of the field and how it has shown me grace and compassion.
Productive Desk Set-Up
You love to feel productive and want to be more focused. Or you’re sick and tired of your messy desk. I got you!
This blog is about setting up your workspace to meet your lifestyle and flow without distractions.
Celebrate with Less Things
We can get caught up in the shopping frenzy of "I should buy XYZ." You only know what it's essential for you, your family, and your clients. This Blog is about being more intentional with fewer things and more actively creating memories for the event you're hosting this holiday season.
Heaven on Earth in your home
It's been more than two years since rediscovering the meaning of "Heaven and Earth" in the Bible. And without geeking out, I want to share how I approach life these days as I shift into my present. This blog is about maintaining gratitude for today, right now, and around you, particularly in your very own home. Let's open some curtains and windows to be more content in your space, now.
Living in My Office for a Month
The one space I called my haven and my private room turned into a place for my husband, puppy, and me. This blog is about our story of scarifying a one-bedroom apartment for a tiny office. This month has tested minimalism, organization, character, and imagination!
Less Things - Less Cleaning
Jimmy and I have been experimenting with different methods of cleaning our Air BnB apartment. We want to create systems for when we hire a cleaning team. So far, with our four guests' experiences, the game changer is in the title of this blog! This blog is about one aspect of minimalism that makes it very practical for me. The fewer things we own, the less cleaning, and the less stress.
How to Maintain Neat & Clear Drawers
Do you have a “Junk” Drawer(s)? My mom used to call it “Varios” (various in English) and of course, I thought it was the norm! Everyone has a junk drawer, right? Wrong, and when my drawers lack maintenance, it brings more stress into my life. This blog is about maintaining neat and clear drawers by having a home for your items. The time you spend looking for items and buying new ones will cut your time & money by more than half.
Upgrading my Life by Downsizing
So I’ve moved more than 20 times in my life; 2 countries, 3 states, and more than 15 neighborhoods in the USA. Moving can be difficult and I have also found that it creates new opportunities to reassess and ask myself better questions about what I want my lifestyle and home to feel like.
Tidy-up Your Home 15 minutes at a time
I know it really drags to take your weekend to clean your house. I know when I was cleaning on the weekends and doing laundry it will take at least 3-4 hours all in. I worked full-time 6 days a week and got home way too tired to do anything.
