For most of us, the biggest hindrance to hospitality is the, shall we call it, untidy state of our home.  Personally, I like to plan to have people over a couple times a month as it forces me to clean!  But, it would be a lot less stressful if we could just learn to manage the "stuff."  I found this great article on de-cluttering, so my next baby step is this -- start to de-clutter.  Pick a room.  Make it a public room.  You can always close your bedroom door if someone stops by!  So I liked this "5 box" idea.  Give it a try.

5 Boxes, a Bag, and a List

Sorry I haven't posted on this topic in a while.  I have more ideas, but we are moving at the end of August, and just finished up a week of VBS, so life is crazy.  Needless to say, I need to do some decluttering myself!

Blessings,
