🌿 Making Open Storage Look Pretty
Nº 23 – November 4, 2025 Sponsored by HubSpot 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. This week, I’ve been resetting a small corner between our kitchen, dining, and family room — a gold-and-glass shelving unit I brought in for extra storage. At first, I assumed it was just another space I’d need to style and maintain, and I nearly dismissed it. But it’s turned out to be so practical—and...

🩵 Making Room for What Awaits Us
Read on the web ↗ Making Room for What Awaits Us By Flavia Andrews We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. - Joseph Campbell It was shortly after I read this quote that I finally found the courage to donate my one and only child’s baby crib. He was almost seven at the time. I had been holding on to the hope of bringing another child into the world. When a friend announced she was expecting her fourth, I had two choices: to sit in...
🌿 A Simple Jewelry Drawer
Nº 22 – October 28, 2025 Sponsored by Superhuman 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.

Last Saturday, I decided to finally give it purpose. Special thanks to Superhuman for sponsoring this edition. This Week's Reset...

🩵 Hurricanes, Storms, and Simplicity
Read on the web ↗ Hurricanes, Storms, and Simplicity By Flavia Andrews Hurricane Melissa is Caribbean Sea bound, and Jamaica may take the worst of it. Still, living in Southeast Florida always stirs that familiar unease—the quiet wondering of what if it turns? My heart aches for those already in its path. Having lived through many storms, I know the fear that builds before the first wind even arrives—the waiting, the praying, the hoping it passes quickly. This week, I’m holding the people of...
🌿 One Thing at a Time
Nº 21 – October 21, 2025 Sponsored by 1440 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. Lately, I’ve been reminded that real progress—at home and in life—rarely comes from doing everything at once. It comes from doing one thing at a time. One drawer, one corner, one habit, one day. When we focus on the next small, right thing, momentum follows naturally. Special thanks to 1440 for sponsoring...

🩵 Taking Care of the Task at Hand
Read on the web ↗ Taking Care of the Task at Hand By Flavia Andrews This one’s a short one, friends. It’s been a week of juggling family things—one of those stretches that reminds you how plans can unravel, and how life asks for flexibility more than perfection. So, I’ve been thinking a lot about the value of simply taking care of the task at hand. For years, Saturdays were laundry day. Always Saturday. It was neat and predictable—until my teenager’s clothes started fitting like adult ones....
🌿 Family Room Refresh Ideas
Nº 20 – October 14, 2025 Sponsored by The Deep View 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 the season shifts, I’ve found myself noticing our family room more. This is the space where we gather, unwind, and live most fully. It’s where we have conversations after dinner, watch our favorite TV shows, and where quiet moments settle in at the end of the day next to our precious cat. For...

Read on the web ↗ 10 Things for Time, Space & Spirit By Flavia Andrews There’s peace in doing the same small things over and over.

🌿 Remove the Resistance
Nº 19 – October 7, 2025 Sponsored by HubSpot 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. Sometimes, what makes life feel heavy isn’t the big things—it’s the small frictions that add up. The drawer that sticks. The cluttered counter that makes wiping it down a chore. The extra step in your morning routine that steals two minutes you don’t have. When we reduce friction, we create flow. Tasks stop...

🩵 Quiet Offerings
Read on the web ↗ Quiet Offerings By Flavia Andrews Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to give—of our time, our energy, our attention. Not in the grand gestures, but in the quiet, ordinary moments that fill our days. Maybe it’s because this week felt like a mix of peace and noise. Moments of stillness I didn’t want to end, and moments of overwhelm I couldn’t wait to escape. Somewhere in between, I started to notice how much life mirrors our faith: it’s the small, faithful...
