How to overcome Perfection Paralysis – Podcast
In this podcast I get tough on how you can overcome your need for perfection and finally start achieving all of those amazing goals you have set for yourself.
How to Wash your Walls and Windows – HYH – Week 10
Urgh…Up until now, the Hug Your Home Challenge has been all fun and organizing and making things pretty… but this week, well the fun stops here. It’s big girl pants time.
How can your home sparkle and shine when it’s covered in grime? I just made up that little ditty, what do you think? In all seriousness, it’ important that we occasional care for the bones of our home.
Cleaning your walls and windows doesn’t have to be some huge undertaking! In fact, it should be something you can accomplish in one afternoon and thankfully it only has to be a bi-yearly occurrence.
So as much as you don’t want to, it’s time to make your windows sparkle and get rid of the dust and smudges on your walls and baseboards. This is just part of that adulting crap that we all hate to do, but the act of maintaining and caring for your home will also make you love your home even more at the same time.
So roll up your sleeves and hug your home this week! You can download this checklist HERE.

Organize and Declutter Your Paper – Hug Your Home Challenge – Week Nine!
Paper is one of the biggest clutter issues facing families today. Mail, bills, letters from school, schedules and junk mail pile and scatter over surfaces making them messy and nonfunctional. I can’t tell you how many people dream of more usable counter space, only to be wasting what they have on paper clutter. If you struggle with endless piles of paper, you are not alone!
For this week’s #hugyourhome challenge, we are setting up some simple paper organizing systems that will eliminate paper clutter for good.
There are 4 systems that EVERY home needs when dealing with paper. Watch my latest video to learn more about these systems and how they can help you maintain your paper for good. Download your free printable checklist HERE:
I also made you a printable so that you can easily see the difference between a SHORT and a LONG TERM paper filing system and you know exactly what papers you can discard! Download your free paperwork printable HERE.
Every year at tax time, I sort through my short term file folder and purge and shred anything that I no longer need. Only those papers I am keeping for seven years or longer are stored in my LONG TERM filing system.
We are a family of five, running TWO businesses and ALL of our Long Term files (including taxes, contracts, mortgage papers, insurance, vehicle information and more) fit into one small filing drawer. Here is the truth: You are keeping WAY more paper than you need to!
So let’s make a pact, a paper minimalism pact. Commit to only keeping really important papers in your Long Term paper system and keep your other paper in accordian file folders, baskets or binders…with the promise to go through and purge them once a year.
