🌿 Make Space for Quiet Moments

Nº 05 - July 1, 2025 Hello Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. This week, I’m inviting you to take a quiet pause to look at the spaces in your home that nourish your spirit. Sometimes, the simplest change—like rearranging a corner or repurposing a piece of furniture—can open up space not just on the floor but in our minds and hearts. This Week's Reset I needed a home for my Bibles,...

🌿 Simplify by Saying No

Nº 04 – June 24, 2025 Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. As summer begins, everything feels a little more open—longer days, lighter schedules, and space to exhale. It’s also a good time to notice what’s filling that space, and whether it’s helping or hindering your peace. Sometimes, the biggest shift doesn’t come from what we remove from our homes, but from what we stop bringing in....

🌿 Refresh your Freezer

Nº 03 – June 17, 2025 Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. There’s something about opening a drawer and knowing exactly what’s inside—and exactly where to find it. No digging, no guessing, just ease. This week, that drawer was my freezer. And it brought more relief than I expected. This Week's Reset After too many months of bags-on-bags and wasted food, I finally organized our freezer...

🌿 Simple, Not Empty

Nº 02 – June 10, 2025 Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. One good thing that came from my season of grief was learning to embrace less. I stopped trying to keep up with the trends. I let go of the pressure to decorate every corner. And little by little, I began to minimize — not just my stuff, but the noise in my home and heart. Whether you’re in a season of healing or just craving a...

🌿 Start Fresh: How Letting Go Brings True Organization

Nº 01 – June 3, 2025 Hi Reader, Welcome to the very first edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. I hope this becomes a soft landing place for you — no pressure, no overwhelm. Just one thoughtful idea, a bit of beauty, and something useful for your home and heart. For this first edition, I thought we’d begin where most resets do — with letting go. Letting go is often the first — and kindest — step toward feeling more...

🐈 Under the Stairs Closet Organization

Hello Reader, It's been a hot minute since my last organization project. I took a much-needed break from organization projects and focused on boring stuff like marketing and accounting. In fact, I completed the project I am sharing with you today last November (on a whim and without before pictures!). Still, after almost six months of implementing the systems in this storage room, I decided it was worth documenting on the blog. Under the Stairs Storage Closet Ideas to organize a tricky space....

🩵 🍞 Baking Supplies Organization

Hello Reader, I hope you are having a great week, and the Fall air is starting to appear in your days! It feels like we still have a long way to go here in SoFlo. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the nearly 3,000 lives lost 23 years ago in the terror attack on September 11, 2001. If this tragedy has touched you or your family, know that I am thinking of you. Never forgotten! TL;DR I organized my baking supplies cabinet and went from chaos to function in a few hours!

🧽 Cleaning Supplies Organization

Hello Reader, Happy almost Friday! Summer break can really throw a wrench in your routine. At least mine has been so.out.of.whack! But I finally managed to publish on the blog. Last weekend we went to visit family in Washington DC, and we came back to celebrate both my husband’s and my son’s birthdays. First day of high school is approaching fast but we still have a couple of summer plans and activities to wrap up! Cleaning Supplies Organization Grab the free labels template! Read Article I...

🍋 Don't forget to clean that!

Hello Reader, Happy Summer! I hope all of you, my friends in the US, had a great and safe 4th of July! With the 'lazy days of summer' upon us, I have been catching up on long-overdue cleaning tasks... Like cleaning the oh-so-gross drum and rubber gasket of my (front-loader) washing machine 😬. I'm anal about having my appliances clean, inside and out, especially the impossible-to-reach parts in the coffee maker, garbage disposal, and washing machine. Even if I can't see it, my neat and tidy...
