    The areas of my life that can use un-complicating are the closets. Every closet in my apartment needs some help from the bedroom closet to the coat closet.

    I am working to simplify my clothing wardrobe, and my eating style this year. I am getting an old fashioned wardrobe (piece of furniture) for our master bedroom in the 100 year old cottage we live in, and I need to really simplify the clothing I wear. PLus, I’m just tired of eating junk. So back to unprocessed foods for us!

    KEEP IT SIMPLE – my life needs some major un-complication across the board. But I think the biggest area of need is that of ‘Stuff’ and the piles of things I’ve accumulated and don’t know how to organize. Especially in my room and basement.

    I could use some help when it comes to my daily schedule. I am a stay at home mom and I tend to over extend myself with obsessive house work, exercise classes and my girls activities. I know I could do all of this and be less frazzled, I just don’t know how!
