AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE

There isn’t anything quite like a change in seasons to put you in a new mood. For some, when fall is in the air, it’s a time of celebration because it’s  Back to School and freedom. For others, fall conjures up thoughts of  a new wardrobe and pondering how soon is too soon to wear those new  kick butt boots. On the flip side, for some of us, just where to store those new kick butt  boots becomes the problem. So, for us, fall represents  feeling a bit unorganized and realizing the need to get reorganized and  back on track for the new season after falling out of our normal routine during the lazy summer months. So, if you fall into the latter category, no worries. Below is a crash course from organizational expert, Julie Morgenstern, who suggested while on the, Nate Berkus Show, featured on the OWN Network, establishing a clear function for each room in the home so that we’re always making the most out of our spaces.  The formula she uses consists of 5 easy steps…
