Sort Your Clothing According to the Season
In places with variable weather — and especially those with four distinct seasons — one must adjust their wardrobe to match the atmospheric conditions.

The Gift of Your Time Is What Moms Want
The best thing to give #Mom on #Mother’s Day is your time. Take a bike ride together, visit other relatives, have a picnic in the park or go to a concert — getting out and doing something she likes is the best way to celebrate. Alternatively, take some to-dos off her plate by dedicating a day to #deep-cleaning her house or completing some handyman chores. “If it’s a big job, enlist the help of other family members or hire a service,” Today says. “While some folks don’t mind doing the work themselves, plenty would appreciate someone else doing the heavy lifting.” If you’re far away, don’t forget to call! #MothersDay
Give Mom a Journal to Record Her Memories
Want to know more about #Mom? One #Mother’s Day #gift that won’t take up much space and deliver mountains of memories is a journal. Journals such as Mom, I Want to Hear Your Story and Burn After Writing offer prompts to help Mom reflect on her own childhood and impart her knowledge, even if she isn’t a seasoned writer or storyteller. “Once mom starts filling out [a] journal book, you’ll be surprised by how much you don’t know about her life,” Wirecutter says. Another idea is a gift certificate for a framing service — which can cut the household #clutter by getting a few of those treasured family photos out of drawers and on display. #MothersDay
Give Mom a Gift That Won’t Create Clutter
Looking for the perfect #Mother’s Day #gift for the #mom who has everything — or maybe two of everything? Give a gift that won’t add to #clutter! These might include consumables such as chocolates, healthy snacks, wine and spirits, or a gourmet dinner in or out. Active moms might appreciate a fitness class, yoga session or massage; magazine subscriptions, apps and classes won’t add to the physical #stuff if you go all-digital. Better still, take mom on an excursion or make a #donation to a #charity in her name, Abundant Life With Less suggests. It’s the memories that matter most! #MothersDay
Observing National Get Organized Day 2025
National Get Organized Day is Saturday, April 26! It’s a great day to #declutter, #organize and generally improve your space and productivity. #Clutter and disorganization can undermine progress in all aspects of life, creating anxiety and stress. The average American spends about 8,700 hours of their lives looking for #things, the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) estimates, so you will save time and money by putting the things you need into their proper places. Get started today, and your #decluttering and #organization efforts will snowball until they become second-nature. #NationalGetOrganizedDay
