What realistic organizing looks like…

by Filed Under: Organization

My house is a mess, Kathryn.  I have three kids.  It’s overwhelming.  How do you keep everything so tidy all the time?  I’ve gotten more messages like this recently than I ever have before.  My answer: I don’t.  Real organizing isn’t a Pinterest board or unrealistic images in your head of everything in its place.  You are making memories in your home.  Let your family make them.  Let things be out of place.  In this video I explain what REAL organizing looks like and how you can start small to be more organized.  What will you tackle this week?
