According to Venice Kichura, “De-cluttering your house could be the first step to shedding unwanted body fat.”
If your house is full of clutter, chances are you have not seen the top of your kitchen table in some time. If that is the case, well-thought out structured meals probably is not a part of your daily routine. This chaotic system leads to choosing fast and easy meals over healthy meals. Unfortunately, many fast and easy meals are full of fat, sodium, sugar and syrups. This combination often leads to obesity.

Spring organizing and cleaning tricks
I have started some of my spring cleaning and organizing. It always feel good to get some of that done. We are having new tile installed in our master bathroom and new tile in our shower. It has been a long process, but it is almost complete!
The newness of the project spurs motivation to clean up other areas of my home. I haven't mentioned it to my husband, but I think our master bedroom could use some updating too...maybe that will be our next project??
For some great tips on Spring Organizing and Cleaning, check out my article here at

Criteria for Keeping Something
We work with a variety of clients and it is not uncommon for us to unveil strange and unique items. Sometimes the items discovered are pieces that go to something else. If you no longer have the item the pieces go to, get rid of the piece.
If the piece is broken or damaged, it should probably be tossed.
Occasionally, we come across items or pieces of items that the client does not recognize nor knows what it is or what it belongs to. In this case, discard of the piece.
Our rule when working with clients is "If you don't know what it is, get rid of it!"

Go with your gut when it comes to organizing
I met with a new client today for a consultation. We focused on setting up systems to manage and streamline her paperwork in her home office.
She had several items that did not have "homes" created for them. One of the challenges for most folks is determining not only "where" away will be for items, but what to name/label the items.
For instance, she had a copy of her son's immunization record that was recently needed for enrollment into school. She wasn't sure what to do with it. Through our discussion, she did conclude it would be nice to keep it on hand for future reference. The question then was where and how.
I asked her "what do you think of when you look at this?" Her response "medical." So, we created a file folder and she named it "medical."
I always say to go with your gut feeling. Traditionally the gut instinct you initially have is the same gut instinct you will probably have in the future.
So, go with your gut!
