The holidays are right around the corner — and that means your home is about to become a hub for laughter, leftovers, and (let’s be honest) a lot more shoes by the door.

Whether you’re hosting a cozy dinner, a big family gathering, or overnight guests, a little organizing now can make the season fee lighter, calmer, and way more enjoyable.

When you open your closet, do you brace yourself and prepare for impact?

If your closet is stuffed to the gills and feels more like an overflowing thrift shop than a calm boutique, you’re not alone. I work with people all the time who keep every single item they own jammed in one place, year-round—whether it’s a heavy parka in July or flip-flops in January. It’s what everyone does!

You know the feeling you get as Spring approaches? The giddiness youfeel as the sun comes out a little more, the buds on the trees begin growing, and little bits of color start popping up as flowers begin to bloom.
