Kathi is loving this series with her friend Kelly Wilbanks. This week they answer the question many of us have asked ourselves: should we buy a bigger house? After this last year of living in close quarters and doing life in unconventional ways, most of us are looking at our spaces with a different perspective. Kathi’s answer may surprise you. Listen in as they discuss how to determine the answer for your family, including:
- How to know when a gutting of your house is in order
- How to determine the right size home
- How your thinking may indicate the need for this assessment

The Clutter Free Home: Making Room for Your Life
THE CLUTTER FREE HOME
When it comes to your home, peace is possible…
Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home.
Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality. Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.
