7 Ways to Simplify Back-To-School
Fall is almost here and it is our goal to simplify fall 2021. What better place to start then with the family routines! A few intentional changes and you’ll see big results! The Graceful Spaces team got together to share our top 7 tips for inspiring a more simple fall season from the perspective of a professional organizer.
Celebrating with Intention
The Lee family Christmas is as festive as they come. Wrapping paper flying, holiday jammies, surprises from Santa that no one *truly* needed (gasp!). Christina is an advocate for simplicity and order, but she also loves the abundance of the holidays and all that they entail. How does she reconcile the two? For her family, it’s not about limiting, but rather being intentional with how they celebrate.
Giving with Intention
Katie has a talent for making everyone she meets feel heard and special, meaning she’s the perfect person to weigh in on giving gifts with intentionality. We asked Katie to share her ideas for gifting this season. Her thoughtful tips will be influencing our own lists, and we hope they’re helpful to you, too!
Connecting with Intention
Graceful Spaces’ Co-Founder Rebecka Jodeit is as passionate about organizing as she is about seeing families’ lives transformed by peace and order. As someone who prizes quality time and relationships, Rebecka considers organization essential to effortless hospitality—particularly at this time of year. We asked Rebecka to share her advice for making intentional connections this holiday season.
The Graceful Spaces Gift Guide
Whether you’re giving a splurge-worthy gift or a heartfelt note (arguably the most priceless present of all!), we hope this guide gives you plenty of ideas to share the love this holiday season.
When we gathered to put together our gift guide, we developed a criteria for the presents we picked: we wanted each item to serve a purpose, express a sincere sentiment and spark a smile.
How to Start Organizing Your Home: 12 Expert Tips
2020 has been a whirlwind of a year. Whether you live in Philadelphia, PA, or Portland, OR, you’ve suddenly found yourself spending almost all your time at home. Now you’re noticing just how messy your home has become. Because let’s face it, it’s easy to accumulate stuff over the years. But amidst the endless piles of laundry, dishes, and to-do lists, it can be nearly impossible to find the time to organize every room in your house.
To help get you started, we, along with other experts from across the country, shared some of our best tips and tricks with Redfin to help you start organizing your home. Check out what we had to say!
Organizing Ideas for a Play-Filled Playroom
A well-organized home is a gift that benefits the entire family—the smallest members included. Studies have found that kids with fewer toys are better able to focus and use their imaginations for longer periods of time than those who are overwhelmed by their options. The goal is for your kids to start learning a life skill and be able to participate in owning responsibility for their things and their space.
Helping Little Ones Let Go
Editing and donating is a daunting, often emotional, process for adults—so it’s no surprise that kids struggle with it, too. If you’ve found yourself loading up donations under the cover of darkness, hiding the “donate” bin or fabricating elaborate stories when an item that’s left your home is suddenly missed (“visiting family, I think!”), we hear you! And we’re here to help. These strategies have served our clients—and our own kids—well in the past and we hope they’ll ease the process for your family, too.
