Welcome to all who are weary of overstuffed closets, dangerously jam packed attics and garages that will no longer hold a car.

What if I could help you have a home where you only kept things you regularly used plus treasured objects that you want to pass down to your children and grandchildren?

I have a plan to achieve this in my own home. So if that is something you’re seeking, here’s where to start.

Right off I need to tell you that I’m not an organizational or decluttering expert. 

Instead, my expertise is in collecting and curating personal and family memories.

Personal story. A few years ago I joined my family to clear out our family home after my mother died. During that grueling and emotional process, I discovered a particular struggle to this dreaded family task.

The reason why we agonize over getting rid of certain possessions that our loved ones leave behind is not that the objects themselves are all that special. The real reason it’s difficult is because of the memories connected to those objects.

Even though I don’t specialize in home organization, I think you’ll find that I am someone who’s pretty good with designing processes and solutions for common problems.

Back to what I was saying about clearing out my mother’s home after death. Even though the process was exhausting and emotional, I also found a great deal of joy when I came across some things that I hadn’t seen in decades.

For example, just looking through my dad’s toolbox took me right back to being in elementary school. I loved watching my dad tinkering with his woodworking and building radio controlled airplanes in his workshop. The memories! 

So, of course when I found them in Mom’s garage I brought Dad’s tools back to my house. But the truth is I don’t need another hammer or 10 more screwdrivers. 

I also brought home the large print Word Search puzzle book Mom had been working on when she died that July afternoon. Guess where it is now? Stuffed into a closet.

So, what is the solution to curating the memories our stuff holds but letting go of it?

It’s a simple plan really. 

And it starts with you working through specific areas in your home that need decluttering. 

Over the next 8 weeks I’ll guide you to work through your books, paper ephemera and memorabilia, kitchen stuff, linens, clothes and jewelry. 

I’ll be showing you how to develop a routine to manage the things you keep in your home that will ensure memories are curated but you have the freedom to let go.

I’m starting off with books.
