I love the start of a new year.  Living up north, it’s usually cold and puts me in the mood to nest. Once all of the Christmas decorations are put away, it’s time to assess my home and see what needs organizing.

First and foremost, it’s usually my clothes closet that needs immediate attention. It’s a great time to purge clothes, shoes and purses that are worn out or no longer in style. It’s also a great time to assess what I need for the coming year.
