My nightstand is a disaster area, with me battling every night to find a clear surface to wedge my water glass into. The living room looks like a toy factory had a G.I. bug. The kitchen always needs to be cleaned from the last meal before I can prepare the current meal.
What I didn’t know was that I was that I was actually living in C.H.A.O.S.: Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome. How did this happen? I try so hard every day to at least make a dent in this clutter and go to bed every night feeling like a failure. I go over to friends’ homes and they say “Excuse the mess!” as they gesture towards an unfolded blanket on the sofa and a book on the floor. Why do I struggle so hard to accomplish what everyone else seems to do so naturally?

A cluttered house makes for a cluttered mind. At least that’s the consensus. The truth is, if you want to start to declutter your home, motivation to do so is necessary.
While most people tend to have a little clutter somewhere in their homes, there are those that have rooms stuffed to the brim with things they think they might use someday, things they never use or stuff they are hesitant to discard. This leaves whole areas of their houses unusable for what they are intended for.
Clutter on any level can be extremely overwhelming, causing stress. While you may think this would be enough to get anyone motivated to start getting rid of the clutter, the truth is, many people don’t know how to get started, and end up discouraged.

Why do my kids think it is hysterical to smell their shin guards after practice? The kids in the carpool all make each other smell them to see whose is the worst.
With twin 9-year-old boys we are drowning in smelly sports gear so I was thrilled when FunkAway wanted to partner with Fennell Seeds to help remove the smell. My kids store all their sports equipment in our garage which is not the best for airing out the smell.
I love seeing how other people actually live in their homes. If you stay with them you can see how they really organize their kitchens, if they use different spices while cooking or even how they handle laundry. Recently we stayed at my sister’s house and when I walked into her laundry room I saw her messy laundry detergent cups on the counter. Hi Jenny! I bet you love me sharing this on the internet. 🙂 I actually was just shown in the past year by another friend how to keep the laundry detergent cup clean so I was happy to share it with her. We are both shocked we hadn’t figured this out years ago.
