School Day Checklist
Back-to-School is just eleven days away, and yes, I’m counting them down!
My kids are amazing little humans, but every year, the transition back-to-school is rough on them..and me. When they finally drag themselves off the bus after six hours at school, they act as though they’ve been doing hard labour all day.
Exhausted, whinny and starving – this is how my kids come home from school. So instead of fighting them, I give them each an hour to rest and recharge their battery before they have to do any after school homework or chores.
Instead of nagging my kids, I’ve made a checklist. They have to complete everything on the checklist, before bed, but I let them manage their own time. Sometimes this backfires and they don’t get it all done, which usually means they are grounded from screens for the next 24 hours. No screen time is the worst punishment I could give in our house, so my kids usually complete the list to make sure this never happens.
Want to try this school day checklist for your family? I’ve made a few different colours for you to choose from!

Are you Overthinking Organization?
This past weekend was my nephews birthday party and we celebrated with a BBQ at my sister-in-law’s new, beautiful home. Being the super obnoxious person that I am, I peeked inside her many cabinets and closets and I could not get over the insane amount of storage in her home!
I also couldn’t get over the fact that her HUGE and pretty pantry was filled...not with food…but with unused kitchen appliances and oversized pots.
I was like “What the deuce Heather? I would KILL for this pantry and you’re wasting it on crockpots that you haven’t used in years!”
I then proceeded to completely reorganize her kitchen while she silently cursed me under her breath. Yes, it probably overstepped but seriously…she had a FULL SIZE PANTRY being wasted.
In the end, she loved the quick updates I made and she also caught the organizing bug herself! Listen to my latest podcast to hear about Heather’s transformation from over-thinker to organizing-superstar!

4 Organizing Tips – The B’s of Organization
Here are my top 4 Organizing Tips! These tips will help you save time and get your home organized fast. In this video, I cover the FOUR B’s of Organization!
BEDROOM – Start in your bedroom! It’s the first thing you see when you wake up and the last thing you see when you go to bed. A clean and organized bedroom will set the tone for your entire day and motivate you to keep organizing.
BASKETS & BINS – Use them everywhere. Not only do they contain your items and stop them from spreading, but it makes tidying up and finding things easier!
BALANCE – Cleaning and organizing sucks. Balance out the crappy with some fun. Listen to an audiobook or reward yourself each time you purge. You need to motivate and reward yourself for your hard work in order to keep up the momentum. Here is a link to my awesome headphones: https://amzn.to/2uL8DEX
BEDTIME ROUTINE – If you do nothing else, start a bedtime routine. It is life changing. Get a copy of my FREE PRINTABLE HERE: http://clutterbug.me/2018/07/bedtime-cleaning-routine.html
