We hold to our mantra: Clutter Free in 2015!

In the past few weeks, everyone has jumped on the clutter free bandwagon (no, really, there are more than 5,000 women signed up for the 21 day Clutter Free challenge). We are so excited about this, because we know how crippling clutter can be. But, as we’ve begun to declutter, many questions have come up:

– What sort of system works to start decluttering?
– How do you go about giving away and selling your items?
– How do you decide which items to get rid of?

Listen in as Kathi answers those questions and more and get started to be clutter free in 2015!
