The kids are back in school and while we miss them greatly and are savoring the last bits of summer, it is time to reclaim our home! Out with all of the junk from the many trips to Dave & Buster’s and in with the organizational systems! Let’s put the NO back in no-mess drawer! Cut the clutter and put your organizing systems back in place! Back to School Organization, here we come!

I could talk all day about the aesthetic systems you should use but for now let’s focus on the most basic step to get us moving and motivated: decluttering! *Back to School Organization Style*

Here is my #1 top favorite thing to do to make my home feel like it belongs to me and not the “junk” and to make myself go “ahhhh” when I look around instead of “AHHHH!!”

Walk through your home with a black trash bag and ruthlessly gather all items that serve no purpose in your home! If they don’t spark your joy or fill a requirement, they are G-O-N-E! Trash, recycle, donate, list on your neighborhood site, text your friends, either way, set a deadline and make sure these items are out of your home on that day or sooner!! Your kids will thank you! And listen, if they don’t, tell them that they are welcome to pay for their share of rent and then can then keep whatever they would like!

I will soon be releasing my 30 day Challenge that is ideal for this Back to School Organization season and will keep you rolling the organizational ball! With your skills and my knowledge, we can make this the best Back to School Organizational Season yet!
