Fab Freebie: A Simplified New Year

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down for special discount and to see who won!***

If the words “simplify,” “organize,” “declutter” or “make more time for [blank]” will be showing up on your resolution list this year, boy do we have the giveaway for you. Simplify 101 provides all sorts of fun interactive tips and online workshops to help you achieve those goals, and this week a trio of you will win TWO free workshops.

Simpify 101 Giveaway

Our three winners can choose from any of the following workshops being held early next year: “Quick + Simple Clutter Control,” “How To Achieve Your Goals And Create A Life You Love,” “Organizing 101” and “It’s About Time: How To Have More Fun and Get More Done.” Oh and all of you can get a taste of Simplify 101’s helpful advice by downloading their free “How To Create A Command Central Binder” guide. We’ve also got a special discount ready to announce on Thursday, so check back for that in a few days. But enough chatter, here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: Your choice of any two Simplify 101 workshops being held in January or February.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SIMPLIFY ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us how you’re looking to simplify, organize, declutter, or streamline your life in 2011. We’d love some great ideas for our own list of 2011 resolutions.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 29th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three!
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

Before we announce our trio of winner, know that Simplify 101 is offering 15% off enrollment through January 3rd, 2011 with code SAVE15YHL at checkout. (Note: the “It’s About Time” workshop is currently offered at 20% Early Bird savings, so this 15% off can’t be combined with it)

On to our winners. The lucky three entrants that random.org chose are… Sarah Thimmes (who’s looking to organize her homeschool supplies and make more time for poetry writing), Kelsey R (who wants to really use her planner all year)and Tiffany (who just gave birth to baby girl on Christmas Eve. Wow!). Congrats!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Simplify 101.

    PLEASE Simplify ME! My husband and I bought our dream house just weeks before our first child (a little girl was born) – it is a three bedroom house. One for us, one for her and HMMMM??? An office/project/craft room? A guest retreat? A den? For nearly two years we have been tossing around ideas as to what this room should be, in the meantime we have been tossing JUNK into it and calling it storage. BUT FINALLY – we have made a decision! In the name of de-clutter-ifying we have decided on a PLAYROOM! Yes folks, you heard right! We are dedicating a whole second room to our one and ONLY child. Her toys are getting bigger and louder, SHE is getting bigger and louder (not to mention more curious!). My sanity needs a playroom, our living room is begging us for a playroom, my husband and I need our living room back! SO, to simplify my life this year I am creating a safe haven for my daughter to play – with a cozy chair for me to sit in while I watch her :)

    As a new mom, I’m re-learning what keeping a family organized really means. My primary organization goal for 2011 is to keep our family/dining room decluttered so we can relax and eat there but also make it baby-friendly so my daughter can play and enjoy it with the things she loves too.

    One of my New Year’s resolutions is to ‘do things the easy way’. That means minimizing the junk mail and spam, being organized enough to not run extra errands, determining when to spend a little more to save my sanity.
