From the desk of Laura

On Clutter-Free Holiday Gifting

11/12/2020

 


​"Give experiences, not things."
"Give them the gift of less stuff."
"Connection over consumption."
​
​

I've been seeing this message everywhere lately, and it could not be more timely. At no time in human history has there ever been more stuff for us to acquire and accumulate. But do any of us really need more items, objects, or things?

Today's blog post is written by guest author, Kammy Lee, certified KonMari Consultant and professional home organizer.

Part 2:  Your Home is Not a Storage Unit: Are You Storing Other People's Items in Your Home?

11/2/2020

 
Are you storing other people’s items in your home?  People who don’t actually live there? 
… a grown child’s toys and memorabilia
… your brother’s furniture that doesn’t fit in his current home
… clothes or tools you borrowed from a friend
… items you inherited from deceased family members
… your great aunt’s furniture that you really don’t like
 
Working as a professional organizer, I find that many people do have other people’s belongings stored in their home.  The reasons are vast and varied.   (Link to Part 1: Your Home is Not a Storage Unit.)

Marie Kondo's method is not about Minimalism

3/14/2020

 
Sun streaming in on white couch, lamp, mug, journalWhat does your ideal home look like?
Some people mistakenly believe that Marie Kondo's method is about Minimalism... about living with only the bare essentials... about getting rid of as many items as possible.  That's not the case!  Her method is about living with things that bring you joy.  Yes, you may get rid of many items initially if you were living with many items that did NOT bring you joy, but that's ok.  Focus on what you are keeping.  

The KonMari Method™ is about deciding how you want to live.  It's personal.  It's an inner reflection and time of getting to know yourself.  Your home can be filled with items or have only a few... it's up to you and what makes you happy.
