The tradition lives on! 🙌

As my daughter gets older, she’s outgrowing some of our traditions, but after 4.5 hours at Kusterman’s Farm this weekend with her cousins (and my sister and I having to end the fun before they were ready), I’m happy to say this one is alive and well!  

This is year 9 of our Kusterman’s Pumpkin Day with the cousins (swipe to the end to see a then and now comparison of us), and while the weather has varied greatly over the years, Saturday was a perfect fall day to be there! ☀️🍂

This year’s highlights include:

🎯Hitting a bullseye in the axe-throwing (inflatable)

🌽Hitting the car with the corn cannon

🌀The new Cyclone playground equipment

🎃And of course, finding the perfect pumpkin, which you can also see at the end!

Do you have a favourite fall tradition or activity?  Let me know below.

The 3 keys to organized spices:

1️⃣ Visibility

2️⃣ Accessibility

3️⃣ Containment

While decanting into matching labelled jars is ONE way to achieve this trifecta, it is absolutely not the only way.

It can also be achieved by leaving the spices in the jars or bags they came in and storing them in a basket or in a drawer with dividers.

Or in a turntable.

Or on a tiered riser.

Or a combination of any of the above.

Each of these solutions neatly contains the spices, improves visibility, and provides easy access to all of them at once.

No more shuffling bottles or bags in the cupboard, drawer, or pantry to find what you need.

✨BONUS TIP 1: If you keep them in a basket or standing in a drawer, label the tops of the bottles (you can just use a sharpie) to make it even faster and easier to find the spice you’re looking for (like in slides 6, 8 and 9).

✨BONUS TIP 2: For bagged spices, write the name on a clothespin and clip it to the bag (like in the last slide).

For 25 ways you can store your spices, check out BirchTree’s Blog, linked in my stories and saved to the Blog Highlights.

20 minutes, big payoff!

✨Seeing all your food – faster planning.

✨Easier access to everything – less shuffling and scrambling.

You can’t keep it all!

So, here are 4 questions to ask to help decide what to keep and what to let go of:
 
1) Consider the creativity and effort. 

✨Is it a stock art project the whole class did or did the piece require a lot of creativity and effort? 

✨Does it showcase your child’s style and personality?
 
2) Does it hold sentimental value? 

✨Is there hand, foot or fingerprints. 

✨Does it contain a special message? 

✨Does it remind you or your child of a specific time or event that is meaningful?
 
3) Is it a representation of your child’s best work? 

✨Prioritize keeping items that showcase a significant achievement, milestone, development, skill, or their best work.

✨For example, one printing or writing example from the start of the year and one from the end of the year is enough to demonstrate their development/progress.
 
4) Does it take up too much space? 

✨ Science projects and 3-D art creations take up a lot of space and can contribute to clutter.  If they’re meaningful, consider taking photos of these items and storing them digitally.

Remember, keeping too much makes it difficult and overwhelming to enjoy any of it and often impedes your enjoyment of your space as well.

When you focus on keeping only the best, most meaningful and favourite items, it’s so much easier to enjoy the memories they represent, which is the whole point, right?

Tell me, how do you manage school papers and art?

Here’s the good news👇

You can get from NOT chic to chic!
 
You don’t need a perfect home, you just need fewer things competing for your attention and simple systems that work for the life you actually live.
 
And I can help with that! In fact, I’ve helped so many people do just this over the last 7 years.
 
So, hit follow and let’s take back your space, time, and energy together!
 
Tell me, which “not chic” thing from above do you relate to the most?

Special Preview👇

✨Dreamed of being a criminal lawyer since I was 8-years-old and first watched Matlock.

✨Majored in Criminology at U of T.

✨Loved Queen’s Law and won the Criminal Law Award at graduation.

✨Enjoyed articling as a clerk at the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto.

✨Landed my “dream” job as a Crown Attorney at the Guns and Gangs Task Force.

✨Quickly discovered I did not like the actual practice of criminal law, like at all.

✨Spent the next 12 years in a career I did not enjoy.

✨Motivated by setting an example for my young daughter, finally left law and pursued my passion of helping busy and overwhelmed people make their every day lives easier through decluttering and organization.

✨Learned for the first time what it’s like to actually love going to work everyday!

✨Of course, there were LOTS of ups and downs on my journey.  If you can’t wait for the documentary to drop, check out the blog post it’s based on, linked in my stories.

You can’t take it with you!

Keeping everything isn’t less wasteful and it isn’t financially or environmentally responsible.

It’s avoidance and delaying the inevitable.

One day it all gets cleared out.

Most often by someone who didn’t choose it and probably doesn’t want it.

So why choose to continue to live with the clutter and pass the decluttering burden on to a loved one in the future?

Let me repeat: You’re NOT reducing waste by holding on to everything.

You reduce waste by changing what you bring in.

So, let it go!
