****TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY-RANKED PODCAST**** Are you waking up exhausted and overwhelmed before the day even begins? Is your mind as disorganized as your house? Is the stress of the clutter, debt, and what to make for dinner…again, wreaking havoc on your health, parenting and marriage? Do you wish you had one authentic Catholic friend who understood your struggles? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast will teach you how to create a clutter-free, organized home that practically runs itself, with dinner on the table every night, enough money to stop living paycheck to paycheck and God at the center of it all! Hi, I’m Gina. A Catholic wife, mom and declutter coach. For twenty years, I made sure my home was organized and running efficiently; we ate healthy, homemade dinners, the laundry was done, and the bills were paid on time, yet, I still felt like something was missing. I thought if my home looked like it belonged in a magazine, my family dined on gourmet meals and I stayed out of debt, life would be peaceful and perfect. I finally realized that I was searching for fulfillment and validation from the outside world. Yes, I needed my home to run efficiently, but I felt a nagging in my heart that I was made for more. If I was going to have a full life with the peace that transcends human understanding, I needed to make God the center. I needed to put Him in charge instead of feeling like it was all up to me. I created a plan that fits ME. Simple routines to incorporate faith into my daily tasks. A lifestyle that’s allowing me to prosper into the woman God is calling me to be. And I’m ready to share it with you! If you are tired of waiting for motivation to strike and you are ready to do the work to declutter your home, plan meals your family will actually eat, break free from living paycheck to paycheck, learn to implement routines for a peaceful home that practically runs itself, AND make a new Catholic BFF who wants to share in your joys and struggles, - this podcast is for you! Grab your garden shears because you’re about to prune away the clutter of life so you can prosper into the woman God has called YOU to be!

Opening Bible Verse: Luke 4:20 Apparently even Jesus had paper to deal with! Oh the scrolls that seems to inundate us this time of year. Back to school is like a clean slate. Fresh crayons and new beginnings! This is the year to get it together. We are going to get organized and stay organized! Well...let's do our best. In today's episode I share my super easy method for not just back to school papers but my secret to running my home like a tight ship. You will need: 1 3-ring binder with a front and back pocket. Mine is only 1" thick for a family of 6 plus our dog. You may need a thicker binder for a larger family. 1 pack of clear page protectors. The box has about 50 so you can do this project with a friend or two to make it even cheaper. Each child will get one or two clear pages to contain all their necessary paperwork. First page for each of my kids contains: Birth certificate Social Security Card Latest physical forms and immunization record Boy Scout Health Forms A, B, C, D. If you are a Scout mom, you know what this is! Bank account number/password/reward card Passport or copy of passport with the original in a safe Baptismal certificate Clearances Work Permit Copy of front and back of insurance card Any other original paperwork that you find yourself needing again and again Second Page for each kid contains: Specifics for that child's homeroom, policies, Zoom links/passwords, class birthday invite list The front pocket of my binder is for temporary storage of: proposals for my home improvement projects Popcorn/fundraising order forms along with the money Permission slips with any checks attached or insurance card copy attached. Any other papers that you will only need for a short period of time and that you want easy access to. Back pocket of binder contains: For my home it is only our long term ski rental agreement. We will need this again in October when we renew our skies for the season. Additional tips for paper clutter: 1. Try to deal with incoming paper ASAP 2. Try to only touch it once. 3. RSVP as soon as invitations arrive and take a photo of the invitation, put the date on the calendar. 4. Make it a game of trying to get rid of each paper that enters your home. 5. Revisit front pocket every few weeks to see if you still need to keep it. 6. If you can quickly find the information online, you can recycle or shred. Don't keep it! Happy Back to school! It's going to be a great year!
