Welcome to an our annual Home Organization Challenge. It’s 2025 and this year is our 14th year clearing the clutter from our homes together. I have changed things up a bit this year and we will begin the challenge in the home office or the place where you manage + keep your finances. We always seem to get stuck in kitchen week so I wanted to begin our focus in another area this year. The schedule is different, so make sure to write it in your planner and follow along with us.

The challenge begins on Saturday January 4th. If you would like to participate with our community, make sure to join my challenge Facebook group below.

The Challenge Kit: Print out the free challenge kit. You can print from Google Drive or Dropbox.

The Goal: Our goal for the challenge, is not only to help you organize, but to help you remove the things from your home that you don’t use or need. I don’t want you to organize all the things, just to take Instagram worthy pictures of color coded items you no longer have a need for. Don’t get me wrong, I love an organized home and I want your home to be organized. But we need to dig deeper into the challenge and ask ourselves why we have all of these things we keep re-organizing each year. Do we use everything or are we holding on to it “just in case”? Are we keeping it because we spent so much money on it or because it belonged to our beloved family member that has since passed away? Things don’t define us or control our memories. They are just inanimate objects. An open and free space and a peaceful mind is the goal, not rainbow colored rows of t-shirts or boxes of memories we will never use or see. When we remove the un-necessary, we make room for what really matters. 

The Process: This is a self guided challenge so you can go at your own pace. You can also refer back to the blog, for organizing inspiration and to see photos of my home for more guidance.
