Yep! But will you actually do it? Or are you too tired? Personally, I’m too tired, I’m always tired. But the thought of a well organized non chaotic area brings me immediate joy…especially when its pretty. It’s so easy to lose control of your home, of a room, or even a table top. Chaos and clutter will do its absolute best to slither its way all the way through your world. It happens so quickly and before you know it you’re overwhelmed with emails, paperwork, computer and phone cords, just STUFF that has to be dealt with. When my daughters were young we taught them “clean up pick up put away, clean up everyday.” It was a little jingle from the Daniel Tiger cartoon. 9 and 11 years later I’m still annoying them with that song.
So can clutter that ultimately leads to chaos be cured? I think that all things are possible. You just have to be good stewards of your belongings. Be cognizant of the inventory you keep and managing it becomes manageable. Throughout this blog I’ll be on a mission of managing my chaos because its a constant creeper even in my life. My girls and I are learning way more than we ever knew we would have to learn about being good stewards of our lives, our finances and our home. With each step, we hope to make our house feel just a little bit lighter, brighter and a new version of home.
