Unless someone has lived in a home for a short amount of time, I find that most clients fill any extra storage space they have with stuff. It’s not always stuff they need, but since they have space, it’s easy to keep in storage, and it’s likely to be forgotten. If your storage is always full, over time, it will begin to overflow, and it quickly becomes hard to manage. Some statistics show that 36% of Americans have so much clutter in their garages, they cannot use it to park a car.

Now that we are three days into 2024, how are your resolutions feeling? I’ve never been great at resolutions because, to be honest, the idea of a resolution sets us up for failure.

I’m just not in the right mode for planting seeds and making changes. I want to hibernate. I want to nourish myself. I want to make some space and find clarity to manifest what I’ll plant in the spring, when everything feels renewed and fertile.

Christmas was always my favorite holiday. I loved the lights, the cheer, the music. I really loved getting presents. I loved giving presents. Then I had kids. And then I discovered, after too many years of not being able to slow down and enjoy the season, the job of Santa Mom is probably the most draining of all the hats a mom can wear. Can we all agree on something? The Santa Claus that teaches materialism was a patriarchal invention.
