15 a day

Work full time outside of the house?  Parent of an active child? Manage all the people, places and things at home?  

If you answered 'yes' to any of these please know,  YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! I'm there with you and if I can do it,  so can you.  At Hoping for Homemade I'll encourage small steps.  That's honestly all I have time for some days.  If you are just getting into #hopingswaps begin with tossing 15 items a day.  Decluttering is the starting point to swapping habits toward less-stress.  Grab a trash bag or donate box and let go of 15 items that don't serve purpose in your current life.  This could be clothes that don't fit, toys that have been out grown or simply trash that never made it to the bin.  Pick one room that you want to toss from, snap some before pictures and GO!! 

Already moved thru the Declutter stage and not sure where/how to start organizing?  Pick a small space.  I nearly always start in the kitchen or my bedroom. Personally,  the purpose I have for these two spaces are the most when viewing the whole home.  The kitchen serves as one of our Homes main hubs- dumping ground, gathering/meals, office, paperwork, homework the general Home Management location.  My bedroom is my sanity space.  Where I can go to find the calm and recharge a bit.  When you determine your starting room- start small!!!  One drawer in the kitchen or one category of the closet, set the timer and just make some progress.  Progress over Perfection with #hopingswaps.
