2018 is almost here – can you believe it? 2017 seems to have gone by in a flash. I thought this would be a good time to look back on the past year, and share some favorite posts from Organizing Moms in 2017.
This year, Organizing Moms got a new tagline: Realistic. Easy. Less Stress. Less Mess. So, I decided to put the favorite posts into categories, based on different parts of the tagline:
- Realistic – No complicated systems here. Stuff that real humans with busy lives can do to get organized.
- Easy – Quick wins, shortcuts, and smart ideas.
- Less Stress – When you're feeling overwhelmed, these tips can make things feel more manageable.
- Less Mess – For when the path you cleared through your home got just a little bit too narrow.
