Clutter. This word conjures up visions of messy houses, disorganized piles or as I call it, horizontal filing systems, dishes loaded in the sink and utter chaos.

Welcome to Memorial Day weekend! Many view this as the official kickoff to summer, while others use this time to reflect on the cost to even have a holiday. Memorial Day is to honor those in military service who lost their lives to preserve our freedoms. To those veterans out there, thank you for…

I admit it, my life lacks focus. There is a tendency to rush from one thing to the next without much thought. The majority of my life feels like the logistics planning of a battlefield deployment for my family, with a few fire drills thrown into the mix. My husband and I sit down…
