Make Room for What You Love!

My good friend, (and NYT Best Selling Author…ahem,) Melissa Michaels, has just released another new book!! YAY!

It is called Make Room for What You Love.   Isn’t that a great title?!

It seems to perfectly fit my life right now as we “make room for” another child into our family.

(If you are stopping by from another blog, NO, I am not pregnant. hee.hee. We are adopting an 8 year old little girl from another country, and she will be home with us very soon!)

I cannot tell you how many times we have said, “We need to get this done before she gets here,” or “We need to get rid of all of that stuff before she arrives.”

I feel like a pregnant mama who is “nesting.” But I tell you one thing, I am LOVING all of the little things we are getting done around the house to “make room for” our sweet little girl.

Why do we want to get all of these things done before she comes? Because we want to be fully present with her and our four boys, instead of trying to work on projects and clear up clutter. We desperately want to simplify, so our time with our kiddos will be multiplied. :)

When I was reading Melissa’s new book, I had to laugh at so many of the parts that sounded like me.  I have a tendency to have little piles of clutter all around my house because I can’t make the decision about what to do with them.

I love this quote from the book…

Yep! I’ve got piles full of indecisive moments all around my house! ha!

One space that I recently created to become more organized was my “home office” in our master bedroom. 

I needed a focused place in our home to work and keep our “home stuff” organized, so I bought a $2 desk at the Habitat store, gave it a makeover, and voila!  I made use of an un-used corner of our bedroom, and I cannot tell you how much I love this space!  

After reading Melissa’s book, I am more motivated to clear out the clutter and simplify my life. I love how her book has helped me change the way I think about my home and how I organize it. If you are someone who desperately needs encouragement and practical tips on how to simplify and organize your home…then you will love this book!
