How to make your everyday life MAGIC
Does your home fill you with peace, or does it create unnecessary anxiety? Are there socks in the kitchen, papers in the pantry, and stacks of junk mail on the kitchen table? If you took a peek behind my front door on any typical day, you’d find my home a bit like that. You’d find stacks of papers, toys that have gone awry, and handfuls of items begging for a permanent home. And you know what they say about clutter, or at least what my guest Mattie James says, clutter equals mess, and mess equals stress.
Mattie is the author of Everyday MAGIC: The Joy of Not Being Everything and Still Being More Than Enough, and she is the queen of helping women eliminate the overwhelm of every day, which includes the things in your home, how you manage them, and your mental state surrounding it all.
Listen in as Mattie and I get honest about motherhood, managing a home, and how to make everyday Magic.
Make sure to stick around until the end when Mattie shares her ultimate tips on decluttering your home with a few of her proven decluttering methods. Let’s get to it!
