Key takeaways 

• Moms are inundated with having so much to do and we feel like we need to be doing more all the time, which doesn't leave a lot of time to maintain order in our lives (9:18) 
• Incorporating the decluttering mindset into her household early on. When you have regular conversations about only keeping what fits in the house, it becomes easier for kids because they don’t get attached as easily (12:08)
• Saving kids art and projects for the entire year: put everything in a box and go through it at the end of the year picking favorites to keep  (16:00)
• To implement systems and order for kids, you need to make it easy for them - low hooks, drawers, etc. so it’s easily accessible (20:48)
• We waste so much time thinking about how to start getting organized, what we need and wanting it perfect and that stops us from starting (32:23)
