July 5, 2022 by not your average mom 2 Comments

My front entryway closet has been an unorganized eyesore since we moved to our house about 18 months ago. It just wasn’t an area I prioritized organizing. Then we got a dog and things really got out of hand because she’s got a thing for shoes so everything had to go up really high and […]

How many of you vowed to declutter your house and get your sh*t organized on January 1st, only to find yourself too overwhelmed to begin? Or you had one bad day and a temporary derailment turned into a permanent one? How many of you have watched that Marie Kondo show on Netflix and say to […]
