So I know peeling an onion is not necessarily the first thing you think of when you think about de-cluttering your home but just go with me on this! Layers...lots of them. When you start the process and lifestyle of clutter free living, you will work through layers. It's not a one off event. You … Continue reading De-cluttering – Like Peeling An onion
Where do I start?
Have you started the new year with as much clutter or more than last year? I always approach Christmas thinking I must have a quick clear out before the kids fill their rooms with more 'stuff' but invariable Christmas comes and Christmas goes and 'stuff' is added to the clutter.
Detox Your Home
About a year ago a friend introduced me to essential oils. My understanding up to this point was limited. I just thought they smelt nice and were mainly used by massage therapists! I had no idea there were so many health benefits when used consistently. I decided to invest some time researching and eventually purchased … Continue reading Detox Your Home
Mind Clutter
Confused. Anxious. Overwhelmed. These are just some of the words that I would use to describe a mind that has too much clutter. We can all be subject to this.

Disciplined Living = A Simplified Life

“I Want To See My Jars!”
Vision is everything. We all need vision. Without it we don't know where we're going. Quite often we don't even realise that it's a vision that is motivating us forward but if you stop and think about it, you will realise that without vision there would be no motivation. You have a vision of that holiday … Continue reading “I Want To See My Jars!”
The Power of Two
We're not designed to do life completely alone. We all instinctively know this to be true. Through life we've all experienced times when sharing a problem with someone has brought relief, walking into a room of people with a friend has increased confidence or tackling a task with someone has been more efficient.
