Pinterest Worthy Organized

Hey there friend!

I'm so happy you're here. Let me guess, you've stumbled across this blog because you're looking for the secret on keeping your house Pinterest worthy organized. Am I right? Well, you've come to the right place to find tips, practical steps and insight on how to maintain an organized home.

Does your house feel overwhelming, full of "stuff" and feels like you're constantly picking up? Or maybe everywhere you look there's just things that don't have a home. I get it, I've been there. Shoot, sometimes I am there. I have four boys. Boys, ya'll. They are messy, dirty, collect all the things and generally just create mess after mess. Don't get me wrong, they are wonderful, creative and all those things too, but this isn't an art blog. I'm just keeping it real. I spend a lot of my day navigating Lego towers and trying my hardest to not throw away Pokémon cards I find on the floor. But with that said, we have a home for everything. So even though they create messes, they know where the mess goes when they're done. Labeling is everything. It can be overwhelming and even suck the joy out of your day to just see piles and piles of toys, papers, clothes and just plain old clutter. What's the solution? How can we get past this state? I'm glad you asked.

There's a big word that comes to mind when I think about lack of organization, anxiety. I know that might be a strong word but I can bet you've felt this way at one point or another. Long before I became a professional organizer, I would let the anxiety consume me. Sometimes I just wouldn't start a project because I just didn't know what to do or where to start, I was stuck. That's how the clutter begins. There's many hats we wear as moms, and just women in general. I know we can't always escape feeling anxious when it comes to our kids, our jobs, our finances, but we shouldn't feel that way when we're in our home, our safe space.

There is such a sense of peace when everything is in its place. And let me tell you, the less you have, the less time you spend picking up and putting away. Seems simple, I know. Living as a minimalist isn't for everyone nor practical for everyone, but it's something I've tried to live by the last several years. Less is more. More time to spend with your family, more time cooking a meal, more time taking walks, you name it.

The Gracefully Nested team has been described as magical fairies. No really, we were called that a few times. You may laugh but we try our hardest to leave all the fairy dust we can to help motivate you after we leave. We want to help you create a functional system, one your kids and spouse can live by. A system that sticks around. We do this by decluttering what you don't need, categorizing like items, using products like bins, turn tables and baskets and lastly, labeling.

Peace in the home is achievable. It can be your reality. You don't have to be jumping over a pile of clothes to get to the bathroom. Girl, we'll help you see the floor. Sometimes that's the most exciting part. Stick around, we've got lots to chat about!

Thank you for stopping by. We look forward to seeing you again.

So much love from the Gracefully Nested
