Time is a Valuable Commodity – Decluttering Our Schedule
Many books exist on decluttering our homes, getting rid of things. Nowadays we have the “luxury” of being burdened by having and owning too many things. Shelves are crowded and homes feel stuffy. Things take over and cramp our quality of life. The same goes for our schedules. Calendars are filled day after day, season […]

As children are starting a new school year, we all are hopeful of beginning the season with a clean slate.

They include the potential of having some fun, being creative and getting out of the same-old rut for a single day. It also has the potential […]
