When you get rid of the clutter in your home, you make a calmer space. That gives you better peace of mind and satisfaction. When you declutter your home, it will help you organize your thought and free you of distractions.
And once you get rid of all the extra “stuff,” you will not realize how little you really needed it, to begin with!
Anyone who has read DIY Home & Garden for a while knows that I love cleaning and organizing. I’ve shared many posts on how to clean and organize all around the house and the garden–just because I love a tidy space.

Despite freelancing to make a living, her love is "all things home."
Deborah grew up in a family that grew a large vegetable garden and a fruit orchard, helping her parents pull weeds and can home-grown foods as part of her childhood. In fact, she had no idea that she could purchase veggies and fruits in pre-packed steel cans until she went to college and made a food run.
Today, she lives in Bertie County, North Carolina, an agricultural rural area with more chickens than people. She lives with her husband and two rescue pets a sweet toy fox terrier and a cat who showed up one day and moved into the house. Together, they enjoy DIY projects, furniture refinishing, gardening, and canning.
This blog celebrates all things home.
