The Ultimate Guide To Organizing This New Year - Part 1

Wow! It’s crazy to think we're already two weeks into 2023. I don't know about you all, but this year for me is all about new beginnings. Last month I graduated from Queen’s University after a 4.5-year Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree and for the first time in my whole entire life, I don't have any academic obligations, exams, or deadlines. So what a more perfect time than the first month of 2023 to start implementing healthy habits, routines and intentions. Around this time of year, many of us take the time to make “New Year's Resolutions” or as I like to call them, “New Year's Intentions”, to implement positive changes in our lives for the new year.  One of the best “intentions” you can set for the new year is to be organized. I know it seems broad, but it not only is simple and allows for flexibility and adaptation, but it also encourages continuity and maintenance. From organizing various rooms and spaces in your home to organizing your goals, finances and schedules, this two-part blog series covers Organization-Specific New Years Intentions you can implement to be more organized in 2023, as well as a How-To Guide on Maintaining Your Organizational New Year's Intentions.

It’s also become a tradition in my family to “prepare the house” for the holidays. Unfortunately, I don’t mean putting up the lights and decorations, I mean decluttering and organizing the house to prepare space for the influx of gifts, people and parties. In this blog post, you'll find 5 quick tips on how to declutter your kid's toys before Christmas as well as an additional 5 kitchen hacks to prepare for holiday hosting success.
