Have the lazy days of summer become a little hazy because of all the clutter that has built up while you relaxed?  Does your house looks like the maid quit!

If you could just twinkle your nose like Samantha on Bewitched or fold your arms & nod your head like Jeannie in I Dream of Jeannie, your home would miraculously be back in order.  But alas……that won’t happen.

So, here are 5 ways to get you & the family motivated to declutter your home so you can start enjoying the lazy days of summer without the clutter haze.

1. Music:  Turn it on & up to set the fun atmosphere.

2. Blinds: Get them open to let the light shine in.

3. Pick: Everyone pick a room to tackle.

4. Game:  Pick the game like who is the “Fastest Organizer”, “Most Accurate” (helps keep kids from stashing under the bed), “Most Creative” for that new found way to organize/store something or “The Over Achiever” for those who do extra like cleaning out the bird cage or organizing another room.

5. Reward: A must after all of your hard work.
