Currently {My Life in February}

Well Hello 2016! I’m SO happy you’re here (even if I am in shock at how quickly you came)!

The new year is all about organization, simplifying and of course, setting goals for the year to come. And, just one month in, I’ve been working hard at each of these…

I started the year off sharing my resolution to live life with more intention in 2016. For someone who literally thrives on being busy every minute of the day, this is a pretty lofty goal so, I’ve decided to break it down each month into more manageable steps and plan to check in each month to help keep myself accountable.

In an effort to simplify and declutter our lives, hubs and I worked hard to tidy our entire house last Fall, following the principles of this book. We did however, leave one area that was just too overwhelming at the time. Though luckily, looking to start the year with a clean slate, we were able to find the motivation to take that on this month

Because sometimes you can't just get rid of everything, I'm sharing our process for decluttering and organizing basement storage using the KonMari Method, so you'll have the tools to take on your own storage.
 

In an effort to stay on top of things, I shared my top 10 tips to getting & staying organized in 2016…

Which is good, because we’ve certainly got a ton planned for the year to come…
