Have you found yourself watching home organizing shows on Netflix? I love watching them, but I typically walk away with this vision in my head of what an organized home is supposed to be - perfection. Wonderful decor, all matching, fitting in the allotted spaces. The work they do on those shows is great, but I’ve found for myself and my clients, it ultimately demotivates most moms. It’s just not realistic to think that our homes will look like what they do on those shows. I mean it can, but then we can’t live life in our homes. We can’t play with our kids, we can’t let them paint in our kitchens, or build forts in our living rooms. Real life dictates that our homes will look lived in because they are!

As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right?  In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.

Instead of looking to others on TV shows, Pinterest or other social platforms for motivation, you can take pictures of your own home organizing journey. In this episode I’ll share with you what pictures to take, why you need to do so and how to manage them in order to optimize their effect.

You can dive deeper into taking and managing your home organizing pictures with me by your side. Sign up for The Secrets to Lasting Home Organization at www.homeorganizingforbeginners.com.
