For me, keeping an organized, clean and de-cluttered home keeps my mind organized and de-cluttered ( though maybe not so clean )

Keeping up on your home saves time, energy and sanity. Letting things pile up and fill your "to do list" to overflowing is overwhelming, stressful  and depressing. While walking into a house that is orderly and  clean can bring  peace and comfort and a sense of well-being ( and as an A+++ personality, having my house in order gives me sense of control in an out-of-control world.)

If you would like to find more comfort in your home and less insanity, let's venture together. 
I will share some of my tips that help me to not have to say,   "Now where in the (blank) did I put that
(blankity-blankity-blankity-blank-blank?)" and that creates an atmosphere where upon walking in you can exhale and softly say "Ah, I'm home" 

I have been an avid organizer and cleaner since I was young. After school, walking into a room where the bed was made, clothes weren't scattered all over the floor, and things were in their place at least gave me comfort, no matter how bad the day was. 

 I even worked many cleaning  jobs while my son was young and I was going to college.  Hey, I was even  "Housekeeper of the Month" several times when I worked as a hotel housekeeper and I  got high marks when I worked early mornings as a cleaning lady at a restaurant (until the day I walked in and what I thought was rice all over the floor, started to move.  That was it, I quit. Haha.  Needless- to- say they are now out of business. )
I also have enjoyed helping friends learn how to get organized and keep a clean, healthy home.

Your home should be a place of peace and comfort, not a place you enter with dread. It should be your oasis. It doesn't matter the size.  I once made a home for  four of us in a one bedroom apartment (and where my bedroom was in the living room.) and it doesn't matter how simple or fancy. 
All that matters is you create an atmosphere where you and your family can escape the world. 

And it doesn't have to be difficult or stressful. The goal is to tackle the small piles while they are still small and do a little at a time. But if you have big piles,don't get discouraged. It's just taking it bit by bit, and we can all do a little bit.  Like a healthy life-style - small changes reap big rewards.

And remember, a house is to be lived in, enjoyed by the hearts that fill that home.  So relax. Though we want to keep our homes orderly, we aren't talking sterile, here.  Enjoy the toys scattered about as the kids have their fun ( Just remind them to pick them up and put them away when they are done ) and the way the kitchen looks after a wonderful home-cooked  meal ( Just ask everyone to pitch in with the cleaning) Life is to be lived and your home to be lived-in. So live! 

I hope the tips I share will help you to both live and enjoy your home and make keeping  home simple and easy- maybe even a little fun!

And if you have some tips, oh, please share.  I love learning new ways to keep home and keep it together!
