That’s okay. In fact, it may be more ideal since learning happens everywhere, all the time - and our children want to be where we are! Families typically operate within just 400 sq ft of one another. Utilize your whole home to fully support you and your children as you learn and do life together. Observe your children as they learn, work, and interact in their home environment. Where are they most engaged? Do they like to lounge on a cozy couch when they’re reading? At the kitchen island when doing math? Puzzles on the living room rug? On the sunporch when creating art? Encourage your children to utilize different spaces in your home in ways best suited to their learning needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1692620061093-5UD8KMSZWY5EGJ2WHEH8/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Bringing Harmony to Your Homeschooling Journey: Organize + Prepare Your Home for the Year Ahead - There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. -Jane Austen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1692621205752-206LCW8B7XJPW0ZXY4H6/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Bringing Harmony to Your Homeschooling Journey: Organize + Prepare Your Home for the Year Ahead - To have a more effective home education, I realized I needed to abandon the trappings of school and harness the energy of home.” -Julie Bogart, The Brave Learner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1692467721575-ID36BH365ZS4DSJIMKG1/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Bringing Harmony to Your Homeschooling Journey: Organize + Prepare Your Home for the Year Ahead - Involve Children in Planning: Empower your learners to be part of the planning process.

Opting for the real deal over faux decor creates a festive aesthetic, smells lovely, and doesn’t require storage during those other eleven months of the year. But, it does require a little extra attention when it’s time to take down for the season. If you have garland, trees, and wreaths to recycle, research pick-up/drop-off options in your local community. Don’t be too quick to toss out the packaging from your gifts this season! You can reuse tissue paper to wrap ornaments and protect delicate figurines. Repurpose gift boxes for storage. https://www.refreshorganizing.com/blog/spring-cleaning-garage-project monthly 0.5 2021-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1618507221755-6FWDFVO7C88HNT6IFNYJ/Screen+Shot+2021-04-15+at+12.19.54+PM.png Blog - Spring Cleaning: 6 Steps to a Complete Garage Refresh - Step Three: Reduce Always declutter your belongings before ever thinking about storage + organizing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1618509366675-G88CB9L5P0N7X42AC34C/Screen+Shot+2021-04-15+at+12.31.53+PM.png Blog - Spring Cleaning: 6 Steps to a Complete Garage Refresh - Step Five: Organize Store like-items together and in a manner that allows you to see all you have at a glance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1618507705096-RL3CZVW9ALDH8AHBU903/julie-molliver-Z3vFp7szCAY-unsplash.jpg Blog - Spring Cleaning: 6 Steps to a Complete Garage Refresh - Step Four: Replenish Replace or repair any damaged or broken items you’d like to keep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1618505002482-6TS9ZYRCP71IGA9UEKOZ/Screen+Shot+2021-04-15+at+11.43.09+AM.png Blog - Spring Cleaning: 6 Steps to a Complete Garage Refresh Photo Source: The Container Store - Elfa System https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1618505837957-IN162UFAYMMCYGW23A0A/northfolk-b_Qt9f2egBM-unsplash.jpg Blog - Spring Cleaning: 6 Steps to a Complete Garage Refresh - Step One: Plan Make a commitment to yourself and stick to it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1618508311522-XDA3M7750IXEQ7L6LNRE/Screen+Shot+2021-04-15+at+12.38.12+PM.png Blog - Spring Cleaning: 6 Steps to a Complete Garage Refresh - Step Six: Style Bring a little JOY into your space!

But you can call me Katy. I’m the founder of Refresh Organizing, an interior organizing agency focused on helping you create free space in your home, your workplace, and in your life. After training directly under Marie Kondo, I became Southwest Missouri’s only professional organizer certified in this world renowned approach to home organization: The KonMari Method.® I work with clients in various life stages - including busy families, empty nesters, professionals, and those about to sell their homes. This one-time tidying journey results in a decluttered, refreshed space and state of mind. As a mother, I am well aware of the critical role our home plays in our overall quality of life. The more we own, the more we must manage — and I believe we were made for more than simply acquiring and managing our belongings. When working together, I guide you in cultivating a peaceful, supportive home environment that is sustainable long-term; therefore, allowing you to focus your time and energy on the people and passions that bring the most joy to your life. It is an honor to bring this internationally-renowned philosophy to the 417 community and to continue to help in creating simplified, beautiful, joy-filled homes. https://www.refreshorganizing.com/speaking-workshops daily 0.75 2025-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f662db5656e184136f7e538/1711483573294-0UQX8UMZIKGADHUIU3FC/image-asset.jpeg Speaking + Workshops - Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield: 2025 HBA Home & Outdoor Living Show Workshop: Design, Declutter, Delight: Creating Space with Purpose 11 AM | Saturday, April 12 It’s springtime in the Ozarks and what better way to cultivate inspiration for refreshing your home than to visit the HBA Home & Outdoor Living Show?

No different than clearing out your garden bed to make way for spring blooms, we will be talking about the power of decluttering as the first step in preparing for a new home build, remodel, or in simply transforming your existing home environment.
