Now that winter is officially here in New Jersey, my family and I are doing what we can to stay warm! So today I am sharing my winter home!  Cozy Family Room When the weather gets cold, my kids and I love to snuggle up on our new microfiber sofa! The sofa is so plush and warm!

A House Full of Clutter: My Daily Struggle

written by Lauren

how to organize a home

An Organized Chaos The biggest problem in my house is that nobody (except for me) really wants to get rid of anything. While I’ve been dutifully emptying my unneeded stuff out of our home bit by bit, the other members of my family have been clinging to nearly every possession! My Continue reading...
