I am counting down the days to my 30th birthday, and I couldn’t be more excited! Truly! As I was brainstorming ways to celebrate here on the blog, I couldn’t help but think that 30 lists of {30} items would be just about perfect for my type-A, list-making self. Join me for the next month as I share the things I’ve learned in the past 30 years and my hopes for the future! See all 30 Days of {30} posts here.

I certainly don’t have this topic covered, but I’d love to share more of the little ideas that our family has to share rather than just focusing on the big, heavy topics. So look for more of those to come!

Since Life Your Way began as Organizing Your Way, I thought we’d dive right in with an organizing post next. As you know, I’m a huge advocate of decluttering your space to make time and room for the things that matter most. I’m not sure I’d call myself a minimalist just yet (although people who have been to my home do!), but I do believe that having less stuff is always better than having more!
