For most of us, the holidays come with many parties and family get-togethers that always involve yummy food. You may be the beneficiary, or you throw the big party. Either way, you are doing more baking and cooking than usual. ​

October is World Mental Health Month, so we thought we’d spend a little time discussing how clutter in our homes could affect our mental health. Have you ever walked into your home or a space in your home that was overflowing with stuff, and it automatically made your stress level rise? I have! All you can see is a to-do list; you don’t want to do it, you don’t know how to do it, and it's too overwhelming. ​

​Parenthood is full of decisions. One of the earliest includes designing a nursery, but not long after you’ve made the space beautiful and stylish, toys begin to take over! Even with the most creative organization solutions, every area of your home can start to look like a daycare!

Your kitchen is the heart of your home.  It's a high-traffic area with multiple uses. It's not just for cooking your family's meals. It's where you pack lunches, eat late-night snacks, have hurried breakfasts, do homework at the kitchen island, host family game night, and eat ice cream after a tough loss, break up, or bad day. Sometimes kitchens serve as command centers. Other times they double as dining spaces. Without a doubt, every home needs a functional kitchen. ​
