Editor's Picks

Hello Friends! When January rolls around, I feel the need to do whatever I can to “simplify” my life – especially in my home. How can I make things easier on myself at home after several weeks of holiday overload? Cleaning and organizing become my obsession as I pack away the decorations and redefi ne my space. While I always advocate to shop local, I wanted to share some of my favorite home hacks from Amazon that help me get my house in order after the last of the Christmas ornaments have been put to rest until the end of the year. I bet many of these are also available at your favorite local hardware store, too!
