Ever find yourself packing away Easter bunnies in June? I sure did, and that's when I realized seasonal decorating just wasn't for me. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey of trying to keep up with every holiday and season, only to find it more stressful than joyful. From living in a tiny house with limited storage to my impulsive shopping habits, it was a recipe for chaos. Eventually, I decided to let go of the pressure and embrace a timeless, seasonally-neutral home—except for Christmas, of course. 🎄

But here’s the thing—seasonal decorating might be your thing, and if it is, you deserve a system that helps you manage it without stress. I’ll walk you through how to figure out if seasonal decorating fits your lifestyle and share 5 tips to organize your decor like a pro as we transition from summer to fall. Plus, we’ll chat about holiday prep, because let’s face it, the winter holidays (and holiday shopping!) are right around the corner. Tune in to learn how you can keep the fun and lose the clutter this season! 🎧

DYMO LABEL MAKER

Think of this one as old faithful. The one I grab when I just need something labeled right.this.instant. Another great part, it's availability. You can grab the label tape refills in your next Walmart pick up order.

BROTHER P-TOUCH CUBE

She's my big fancy. The one I grab when I want something to look great and professional. Obvs my clients get the most use out of this one. I really like having so many different font and size options when I use this one.

CRICUT JOY

If you want the black vinyl letters without the background. This is a really nice way to get things looking Pinterest worthy.

FIREPROOF BOX

In case you don't have a place to keep your important items, here's what I am currently using. Just make sure you remember where you put things when you let your elementary school counselor borrow it for an escape room activity. (wink, wink)

Hello, June! So Happy to see you!

In this episode I'm talking about what you can do in your home to make the transition from school year routines to summer time rhythms more smooth.

Starting with the inside - high traffic areas - like your closets, kitchens, and entry ways and then heading outside where we are going to talk about how to make running off to sports, swimming, and outside play time an easier pill to swallow.
