It’s that time again, Spring Cleaning is officially upon us. This is generally the time of year when people start to Spring Clean. I read online that people start on the fourth Sunday in March, just in time for the good weather to arrive.Even though I love the idea of Spring Cleaning what I love more is Spring Organizing. I think it’s a great time to setup new systems in your house. Take stock of what is working and which areas you are slacking. I am in no way a neat freak, or have my home perfectly organized at all times BUT what I do have are systems in place so that when my house does become undone, (because lets face it , it happens to the best of us ) these systems will be in place to make my life easier.

I challenge you all to organize just ONE area of your home this week. Make sure to take a photo of before and after and tag me at www.instagram.com/prettyambitiouspodcast Pretty Ambitious Podcast on Instagram! I would love to see it.

Organizing Areas you will hear in this episode: Coat Closet Area, Kitchen Pantry, Laundry Room, Home Office, Kids Room and Bathroom Storage.

YouTube Channel I mention in this episode: Home Organizing by alejandra.tv To me she is the queen of Organizing. When I discovered her channel I was obsessed! Check out all of her videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcvu0uB6SzugED_5FEC7Z0Q

Thank you for listening!!

In this weeks episode I am talking to Edwina Gramuska and Alexis Frank.

We are talking about the hard stuff: Creating A Healthy Legacy by pre-planning funeral arrangements for a loved one. (while they are still living)

It is such an important conversation to have. It’s a conversation that needs to happen but many families don’t talk about these things until it’s too late.

I loved talking to Edwina and her daughter Alexis, you will learn so much from their experience. I am hoping this conversation will spark families to get together and plan for the hard things.

Her son Everette couldn’t make it to record with us but he was kind enough to send me his perspective on the entire process and I get to share it with you on today’s show.

This episode is full of humor, useful information and most of all, an abundance of love. Edwina is creating a beautiful legacy for her family which is extremely evident in the way she raised her two children.

What we discuss in this episode:

Resources:

The company Edwina used was Funeral Directors Life.

In honor of Women’s History Month I am celebrating by having a fun conversation with my two childhood besties Sharon Singh and Diana Rodriguez.

This episode was created to encourage you to connect with the special women in your life. We are putting each other in the hot seat. We all submitted some questions and had some fun answering them. Some will be funny, some a little more serious but we hope you enjoy us laughing and just reminiscing on growing up together.
