Ep 155: Get Organized or Die Trying

Paige Killian — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 02:30:00 -0700

If you find yourself saying, you’ll “try” to do something more often than actually “committing” to it, this episode is for you.

This topic has been on my list for a while, and I’m always amazed at God’s timing of sending signs when the time is right!

From an Instagram reel with clarifying words, to sound advice from a coach and friend, and too many recent passings of young people, I feel like the message He’s sending is hard to ignore.

Join me for a conversation about committing to your desires and the urgency to do it.

(07:57) Commitment is more than “trying” to do something

Ep 153: Not Just Lip Service

Paige Killian — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 00:30:00 -0700

This week I’m reading an excerpt from my book, Chapter 5: Not Just Lip Service and discussing the benefits of writing down your goals.

So often we can become overwhelmed by all the stuff on our everyday to-do list or that lofty-goal list of things we want to accomplish. This chapter breaks down the 3 E’s Philosophy, the system I use for strategically writing down those thoughts in your head in order of importance so they become real and actionable. The written word has power, so don’t miss this episode if you’ve got some dreams in mind, but keep getting stuck in the overwhelm.

Ep 152: Live With It

Paige Killian — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:30:00 -0700

You shouldn’t settle when organizing and styling your space, but sometimes you should “live with it” until the time is right!

When making your house a home, it’s important to know when to be grateful for what you have, when to invest financially in changes you want to make, and when to live with the temporary solutions while focusing on other priorities.

There are lots of examples to consider on this episode of these ideas in my home and in the homes of my awesome clients if you’re unsure of when to move forward with your own transformations.

Highlights from this episode:

(01:03) It’s not always rainbows and butterflies

Ep 151: Busy vs Productive

Paige Killian — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 00:30:00 -0700

If you find yourself constantly saying that you're so busy but aren’t really feeling productive and getting things you want done, it may be time to make a conscious change.

Ask yourself these 3 questions to determine if your choices will make you feel busy or productive.

Essential: WHY- Is this worth my time?

If you’re wondering if you or your kids should take on one more thing, here are 3 ways to get clarity.

Essential: Communicate with your family.
Enhancement: Create a hard calendar.
Extra: Communicate with coaches/teachers.

This week I’m sharing how we were able to decide if and when to commit to a few new activities. We kept in mind that we need time for rest and want to make sure we are all showing up well for the things we put on our calendar.

See where the commitments overlap and if they are too much or only temporary. Don’t spread yourself too thin, and prioritize what you’re most passionate about.

(02:56) Anxiety can be crippling

(04:49) The season of trying new things

(08:10) How much is too much?

Ep 1: The 3 E’s Philosophy

I hope this episode encourages you to check in with family and those who’ll be involved in the activities you’re considering adding to your calendar. Find a way to be respectful of everyone’s time, while still finding ways to have new experiences. Don’t forget to factor in some downtime so you don’t feel overscheduled!

If you’re feeling the pressure of volunteering in your school or community, maybe this is the season you take a break.

Paige Killian — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 00:30:00 -0700

Not loving your space? Need better organization or some tweaking of an area that’s just not working well anymore? Or maybe it’s something in your schedule, with your kids, or even at work?

Don’t let frustration take over. Take a breath, prep ahead, communicate your needs, give yourself some grace, and redo it!

Ep 133: Morning Meltdown Reset

Paige Killian — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 23:30:19 -0700

Inspired by a morning meltdown of our own, I had to share a few suggestions to help reset and start your day off well.

What I’ve learned from countless meltdowns over the years, be it my elementary school students, my kids, or my own occasional outbursts, is that I can usually see it coming based on the environment, lack of planning, noise level of the room, lack of sleep, hormone changes, growth spurts, lack of food or physical activity, amount of screentime, too much or not enough sun, etc. and I need to take responsibility for my part in it.

Some things I’ve learned to get to that reset that might help if you are in this boat: validate the person’s feelings (even if you completely disagree with their thinking), consider their love language so you can truly reach their hearts, & so much more I’m sharing in this episode.

Highlights from this episode:

(06:08) Preparing for the unexpected

(11:07) Turning on the waterworks

(13:33) One of those mornings

(16:34) The difference between acknowledging and enabling

(19:32) Turning to God and praying for help

(23:22) The power of distraction

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 80: Back-to-School Routines

Ep 132: Not “Just a Mom”

Ep 132: Not “Just a Mom"

Paige Killian — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 09:11:39 -0700

It’s time to give yourself credit for all that you do, even the things that never make it on your endless to-do list!

Girlfriend, I’ve heard it a million times. I’m “just a mom” so I can’t… [insert whatever it is you wish you could do but don’t think you have the time, energy, creativity, skill set, etc.]. That ends now.

This phrase devalues your efforts in all that you do….which is a lot! You are a rockstar. If you have any doubt about that, this episode is for you.

(06:58) Take credit for everything you do

Ep 131: Clutter Steals Joy

Paige Killian — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 06:35:33 -0700

If your physical clutter is getting into your head, it may be robbing you of joy in your life!

I say it all the time. Let’s clear the clutter to see the blessings God has for us. Sometimes blessings are hard to see when that same stack of never-ending mail continues to grow on your desk, your drawers and closets are stuffed full but you feel like you have nothing to wear, your countertops are overrun with projects, your chairs or couches are collecting last week’s laundry, and it feels more like you have a constant toy explosion instead of a playroom.

You’re not alone in feeling stressed or frustrated by clutter. It happens to us all! Don’t worry, we can fix it.

If you’ve got a sunroom or any “fun room” in your home, this is the place to push boundaries and show your personality and style!

Ep 125: Closet Upgrade with Elfa Shelving

Paige Killian — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 04:30:49 -0700

If it’s time for a closet redo, here’s some inspo from my Dad’s with an assist from The Container Store’s Elfa shelving system.

I landed in Tennessee this summer and got the news that Dad’s closet shelves had collapsed! I got straight to work on rescuing it from an overflowing wardrobe, too many shoes, and keepsakes that were stashed deep beneath the crashed hanging rod and wire rack.

The new custom design with easy-to-mount shelving was a great solution for hanging his dressy and casual clothes, plus storing his dress shoes, sneakers, and accessories after a good purge of the items he was no longer wearing.

Highlights from this episode:

(01:01) Having fun in my Dad’s closet

(05:03) 3 simple steps

(08:55) Measure twice, go shopping once

(13:12) Customize your shelving

(17:00) How to hang high shelves and keep it functional

Ep 1: The 3 E’s Philosophy

Ep 122: Have a Purge Party

I hope this episode inspires you to rework your closet if the current shelving and hanging situation is not serving you well.

Paige Killian — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 04:30:49 -0700

Need to bring some items in your home back to life, but not sure how?

You’ve probably heard me say, “You’ve got to keep it simple or it just won’t get done.”

So on this episode I’m talking about lots of things that can be repainted and revived with minimal effort like furniture, walls, fireplaces, hardware, decor, and even floors!

Don’t say goodbye to your stuff; give it a fresh coat of paint!

Ep 121: Surviving Not Thriving

Paige Killian — Mon, 04 Jul 2022 04:30:25 -0700

It’s time to stop judging ourselves and normalize the struggles.

When the world experienced quarantining & social distancing, our mental health became a more acceptable topic to discuss. There were silver linings during that time, but there were also days it may have felt more like surviving not thriving. Now that we are all learning to deal with the aftermath of a global pandemic, it’s even more important to acknowledge the seasons of struggle and find ways to get to the other side of it.

I’ve learned to manage expectations of what a good life looks like. It won’t be perfect. I thank God for the tough times so I can appreciate the good ones even more.

Highlights from this episode:

(00:53) Reflections post-pandemic

(05:00) Let’s have a heart to heart

(08:37) Practicing gratitude

(11:07) Surround yourself with the right people

(15:48) You do not need the perfect life to thrive

I’m usually picking up items for my clients so it was fun to get some things we needed, plus travel surprises for the kids.

The Container Store is my happy place, but if it feels overwhelming for you sometimes, I’m recommending these 3 things to keep in mind.

Ep 119: How to Love Organizing

Paige Killian — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 04:30:50 -0700

If organizing isn’t your cup of tea or coffee, try these 3 simple steps that may change your mind.

Stay positive.
Keep it simple.
Ask for help.

Okay, I get it. Getting organized may not be something you get super excited about. I do, but that’s because it’s my thing. If it’s not your thing, I understand that it can be something you put off or avoid completely. That’s usually when it starts to get overwhelming, stressful, and even cause anxiety.

I’ve found that doing these 3 things really helps me get going on a project I’m not so thrilled about doing. Hopefully they’ll give you some encouragement when organizing. You never know, you might end up loving it!

Highlights from this episode:

(01:29) Have I mentioned I love organizing?

(03:58) From social studies to soccer - staying positive always works

(12:59) Keep it simple

(15:54) Get results with the 1% rule

(18:31) Success is not a solo mission. Ask for help!

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 1: The 3 E’s Philosophy

Ep 60: Ask For Help

Ep 98: The 1% Rule

Ep 112: Keep It Simple

I hope this episode sparks a love of organizing, or maybe it just gets you through that stack of mail you need to sort or closet purge you’ve been avoiding. Stick to these 3 steps and lean in and just begin! It’s usually not as bad as you think. You’ve totally got this!

Ep 118: Food Prep for Bible Studies

Paige Killian — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 04:30:09 -0700

I’m off to Bible Study and wanted to share how I quickly prep some snacks and treats to go in 3 simple steps!

Use what you already have.
Thoughtfully choose food and drinks.
Consider transporting and serving.

It’s easy to opt out of Bible studies or book club meetups when life gets busy, but I’ve learned that making time for these always ends up being beneficial. It deepens my friendships, encourages me in my faith, helps me lean on friends when I need it most, and gives us that much-needed adult time when conversations with littles leave you feeling a little drained!

Highlights from this episode:

(01:26) We’re in the kitchen today

(04:46) A sucker for a Tootsie Roll

(07:33) Let the ‘who’ and ‘where’ guide your choices

(09:34) Extra Mom points

(13:09) Colorful foods pop more

(15:17) You can never be too prepared

Ep 115: Teenage Room Organization

Paige Killian — Mon, 23 May 2022 04:30:53 -0700

If it’s time to add some organization to your (almost) teenager’s room, I’ve got some suggestions on this week’s episode!

Of course I’m using the 3 E’s to keep this simple, but I’m also hopping up on my soapbox a couple of times to explain why it’s so important to give your teen a space that reflects their style and needs.

Between hormones, growth spurts, and epic mood swings you might want to close the door to their room and open it right before they head off to college, but resist that urge! We’ve got to give them grace, validate their feelings, and offer them a space for flexibility, control, rest, safety, and hosting their friends

If this is a tall order for you to do with your teen, don’t hesitate to call an expert! They’ll get way more accomplished in a shorter amount of time, and that takes so much pressure off of you.

Highlights from this episode:

(03:19) Taking a teenager’s room from crappy to happy

(06:57) Validate your kids’ needs

(12:25) It’s their space, so hear them out!

(16:03) Avoid the dreaded dead zone

(21:54) Change is hard

(24:24) Floating shelves and other hacks

(29:29) Teens have different needs

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 1: The 3 E’s Philosophy

Ep 7: The Essential Purge

Ep 6: Maximize Your Vertical Space

Ep 105: The Dead Zone

The Container Store for clear deep sweater boxes, rolling art cart, floating shelves, Poppin brand desktop organizers, Command hooks and wall mounts.

I hope this episode helps you and your teen or tween feel supported in organizing and styling their room so it’s a reflection of them and serves you all in your home.

Ep 114: I Need Motivation

Paige Killian — Mon, 16 May 2022 04:30:41 -0700

Here are 3 simple steps that’ll get you motivated today!

Whether it’s a long list of to-do’s, an organization project, or a big lofty goal you want to work toward, it is possible to push past the stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and paralysis by analysis.

Consider these 3 concepts to get the ball rolling.

Start before you’re ready -Marie Forleo
1% Rule

Don’t forget to give yourself grace if this should actually be a time of rest. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, so don’t let the guilt creep in if you need to take it slow and ask for help.

Highlights from this episode:

(02:48) I had Covid!

(07:43) Joggers and crop tops

(11:03) Pushing past the overwhelm to stay motivated

Ep 113: Life of a Recovering Perfectionist

Paige Killian — Mon, 09 May 2022 04:30:22 -0700

This week after the book release, I’m sharing 3 things that help me push past my perfectionist tendencies and focus on the blessings!

Keep those prayer lines open
Surround yourself with supportive people
Keep that sense of humor

Perfectionism is overrated. Don’t miss opportunities because you might be afraid of messing up. Consider those mess ups to be life lessons and keep on learning!

Highlights from this episode:

(02:36) Thank you for making me a bestseller!

(05:26) Friends, tacos… and fevers

(13:55) My name’s Paige, and I’m a recovering perfectionist

(15:57) Perfection is not attainable

(20:07) Don’t call it failure

(23:45) Life lessons make us stronger

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 111: No Excuses Needed

Ep 112: Keep It Simple

I hope this episode will be a reminder to try new things, not to be worried when things don't go perfectly, and to keep laughing through the tough stuff. There are so many blessings and opportunities that present themselves and sometimes us perfectionists can get stuck in the overwhelm or need to control every outcome. As one who’s in recovery I’d love to encourage you to ride it out and with the help of prayer, leaning on others your trust, and laughing off the unexpected twists and turns, so you can live the life God has planned for you.

You’re not alone, so shoot for the moon!

Ep 112: Keep It Simple

Paige Killian — Mon, 02 May 2022 04:30:10 -0700

If I’ve learned nothing else from this crazy, busy mom life, it’s to simplify everything possible!

It’s so easy to feel all kinds of overloaded and overwhelmed when you’re schlepping kids and stuff all over the place, trying to check things off your never-ending to-do list, and managing a little extra time for the things you dream of doing. (Yes, girlfriend, that needs to be a priority.)

But what if it didn’t have to be hard?

That’s what a dear friend suggested to me recently. It changed the way I live my life, honestly. No question there are things in life that are REALLY hard, but what if we could find ways to simplify it and make it a little less stressful?

Highlights from this episode:

(02:02) Simplify your life to see the blessings all around you

(05:31) You never stop learning

(09:44) Share your accomplishments

(13:25) Simplifying stops the overwhelm

(16:28) Get the book now! (see link below)

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 1: The 3 E’s Philosophy

Ep 96: Paralysis by Analysis

Ep 111: No Excuses Needed

I hope this episode encourages you to take another look at those things that are stressors and rethink the possibility of finding a way to simplify them. It may feel daunting at first, but start with one thing you may be able to take off your plate to alleviate some stress. When in doubt…ask for help.

Ep 110: BOOK EXCERPT Your Twenty-Pound Burden

Paige Killian — Mon, 18 Apr 2022 04:30:09 -0700

The newest book excerpt I’m reading this week is all about identifying something that might be weighing you down and how we can fix it!

Everyone needs a good “Fixer Upper” reference with Chip and Joanna Gaines, right? I was doing a lot of HGTV binge watching while writing my book. I made a connection between Chip getting on a scale that said he was twenty pounds more than he felt he should be and a figurative twenty-pound burden we might be carrying around too.

Depending on what season we’re in like pregnancy, postpartum, the toddler phase, raising teenagers, starting a new job, growing a business, navigating personal struggles, or anything in between, it’s so important to give ourselves grace and ask for help when we don’t want to go it alone!

I’m here for the difficult conversations, shedding of layers that no longer serve us, and lightening the load life sometimes heaps upon us all at once.

Highlights from this episode:

(01:27) “I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight”

(03:34) Purging on autopilot is a game-changer

(05:28) What’s your personal style?

(09:11) The style struggle is real!

(13:49) Dress like the person you want to be

(16:21) Becoming a Mom changes your body and mind

I hope this episode gives you renewed hope that you can be good to yourself during the tough times and lean on your people for support when you need it most. Not sure who your people are? I’m here for you! You’re not in this alone. Head over to EverythingWithStyle.com to download your newly updated 3 E’s Checklist to make it all a little easier.

The book will be available on Amazon at the end of April! Details are on my website.

Ep 109: BOOK EXCERPT Organize on Autopilot

Paige Killian — Mon, 11 Apr 2022 04:30:26 -0700

This week’s excerpt comes from a chapter filled with many ways to keep up with organization systems you’ve put in place without even thinking about it!

When you’re a multitasking supermom, you’re often doing all the things that need attention with your kids, in your home, perhaps at work, chauffeuring kids around in your car, doing laundry, & even grocery shopping for the week on autopilot.

Why not use that superpower to stay organized?

I’m offering lots of examples in this chapter of my book and couldn’t help but pull a teaser of it with some softball/baseball references since we are in the middle of that season with my son and because I love a good sports analogy!

Highlights from this episode:

(02:30) We are what we repeatedly do

(06:53) Be an example to your kids

(10:32) The joy of making beds

(15:45) A busy mom’s job is never done

(21:12) Purge before birthdays and holidays

(24:41) Play to your strengths

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 3: Organize on Autopilot

Ep 98: The 1% Rule

I hope this episode encourages you to put in some effort in the beginning and enjoy the many benefits of organizing on autopilot!

Ep 108: BOOK EXCERPT The Option of Organization

Paige Killian — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 04:30:42 -0700

Thrilled to share this first excerpt from my book that’ll be available this month! My passion is helping busy moms of littles get organized and asking for help along the way.

This week I’m sharing how we made organization an option for our family ever since they were very young. The book begins with Duke exclaiming, “I’m organizing!” His joyful energy spent grouping pods into our coffee drawer upon the arrival of our groceries was so exciting. He carefully lined the rows with regular and decaf, proudly displaying his completed task.

He had watched us do this and other household organizing jobs his whole life…all two and a half years. He couldn’t wait to lend a helping hand! This chapter talks about the importance of giving our kids the option of growing up with organization practices and systems put in place. It not only benefits them, teaching responsibility and respect, but the whole family as well.

Highlights from this episode:

(00:54) A labor of love

(03:17) Writing is like therapy for the author

(06:37) Organization is not perfection

(08:55) Teaching what an organized life can look like

Mentioned of this episode:

Ep 46: Making Your Bed

Ep 73: Less is More

I hope this episode encourages you to make organization an option for your family! More details about the book and new excerpts coming next week.

Paige Killian — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 04:30:48 -0700

Physically or metaphorically, if you’ve got Legos in the bedroom or anywhere else they don’t belong, I’ll share how to get them under control in 3 simple steps!

This is a topic I’m often asked about and deal with in my home as well. On this episode we’re tackling Lego organization with my 3 E’s.

Essential: Organize the actual Legos

(By color, size, category, or simply separating the individual pieces from those masterpiece creations…choose a system that’s age-appropriate and works best for your style!)

Enhancement: Reclaim your space (with clear communication and establishing the desired expectations for that area)

Extra: Put in organization boundaries (without the guilt)

Ep 105: The Dead Zone

Paige Killian — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 05:30:10 -0700

Big or small, one or many, we all have that dead zone where things go to die! Whether it’s your never-ending mail stack, the kids’ artwork pile, your entryway, the dining room table, a section of your garage, or the corner beside your bed, the dead zone can be an annoying area that you put off until it starts to create so much stress and anxiety.

On this episode I’m sharing some examples of these places that can make us super frustrated, allowing procrastination to take over, and how we can get them organized without the overwhelm.

(Click the YouTube link below to see visual examples of how I organize these spaces.)

Highlights from this episode:

(01:53) Where is your Dead Zone?

(05:32) Re-gift or donate items you don’t need

Ep 102: A Reflection of You

Paige Killian — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 05:30:51 -0700

Inspired by my Mom’s words, “Your home is a reflection of you,” I’m sharing how organization in my home reflects my style today.

Yes, I’ve always been a pretty organized and tidy person, but my home has had its seasons of disorganized and messy too. Our homes say a lot about our style, what our current priorities are, and how willing we are to keep it up, let it go, or ask for help in getting things done. There’s no right or wrong, just different styles, and that’s okay!

I’m sharing a recent family event, Superbowl Sunday, to describe how my home currently reflects the way I’ve organized our home and how it’s working well and allowing for grace when I can’t do it all!

Highlights from this episode:

(03:14) This one’s for my Mom

(06:32) A kitchen good enough for a chef

(12:51) Never underestimate a label

(16:10) I love organizing garages!

(20:11) Your home is a reflection of you

Ep 101: Small Changes, Big Impact

Paige Killian — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 05:30:35 -0700

When you can’t complete major organization projects, there are many small changes you can make that’ll have a big impact in your home!

Sometimes there’s not enough time, you’re not feeling inspired to tackle those big jobs, and hiring help isn’t a possibility. So, I’m suggesting several things you can do to make your space look and feel more organized.

Clearing counters, floors, and places you sit can have a huge impact on the overall feeling of your home. Doing that requires a little effort in collecting the stuff throughout your day in a put-back/catch-all basket, doing a regular purge and tidy, and having proper containers or areas for your stuff to live.

Facing labels front, grouping like items, wiping out bins, and choosing containers and hangers that match are a few simple things you can do that will have a big impact!

Highlights from this episode:

(02:05) Stop putting yourself on the back burner

(07:41) No wasted energy

(11:11) Tackling the bathroom

(15:36) Do a quick reset as you leave the house

(20:12) Everything feels more organized when it matches!

Ep 7: The Essential Purge

Ep 73: Less is More

Ep 96: Paralysis by Analysis

Ep 98: The 1% Rule

Ep 99: A Game-Changing Shower

I hope this episode will encourage you to give yourself grace when you can’t get an entire project complete, but focus on the little things you can do to feel more organized in your home.

Ep 100: Celebrating 100 Episodes

Paige Killian — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 05:30:22 -0700

What a milestone to celebrate on this episode with my awesome listeners, who have shown such immense support for the last 100 weeks!

I was overwhelmed by the beautiful and hilarious audio messages so many people sent in from all over the world describing things they have enjoyed and learned from the podcast.

It seems that keeping the organizing process simple (specifically to 3 steps) and shooting for 1% improvements toward your organization goals topped the list of motivational takeaways. That brings me so much joy, because as you know, I’m in the busy mom trenches with you. I always say, it has to be simple or it just won’t get done!

It has been my privilege to join you week after week on your car radios, in your earbuds, sitting in the carpool line, hanging out in your laundry room, chatting in your kitchen, and perhaps hiding in your closet, bathroom, or pantry floor as we connect through our struggles, successes, and mom life stories that are universal!

I’m beyond grateful for this platform that has been such a fun, creative outlet for me, but most of all a way to serve and support you all as we tackle that never-ending mail pile, sort through sentimental treasures, organize the toys, purge the Legos, mount the kid art, toss the old, make room for the new, group like items, donate hand-me-downs, choose the right containers, and label our stuff if we are feeling especially productive!

You inspire me everyday to create new content, test organization tools and strategies, and find ways to prove that “less is more.” Remember we can’t do everything perfectly, but we can do everything with style! That’s your style that’s working best for you in the season you’re in now.

Thanks again for listening, subscribing, sharing, and letting me know what you want to hear about next.

I love and appreciate you so much.

Happy organizing!

Paige

Ep 099: A Game-Changing Shower

Paige Killian — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 05:30:46 -0700

This week I’m sharing how something as simple as a shower can be a game changer for motivation and productivity!

As a busy mom of littles, running my business, running the household, running errands, pretty much just running all the time, I knew I needed to make those buzz words, “self care,” a serious priority this year. It’s easy to get burnt out, when constantly spinning our wheels, mentally and physically, and we moms tend to put our needs lower on the to-do list than we should.

So I’m sharing 3 simple steps to prioritize self care:

Communicate your needs.
Shoot for 1% better.
Plan ahead (to set yourself up for success).

For me, it’s an uninterrupted shower that I need more regularly to feel like the person I want to show up in the world! Because it’s so simple, I put it off and deem it less important than other “to do’s.” However, the feeling of washing away the heaviness of the day and feeling refreshed before beginning another day is now a non-negotiable.

Highlights from this episode:

(03:46) The importance of self care for your productivity

(06:41) Why showering is a game-changer for me

(11:02) Set yourself up for success with the 3 E’s

(15:48) Why this is a lifestyle choice for 2022

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 95: Resolutions vs Lifestyle Choices with Kelly Mobeck

Ep 098: The 1% Rule

Paige Killian — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 05:30:00 -0700

It’s time to take the stress and overwhelm out of your organization goals by using the 1% rule!

How often do you get that glimmer of hope that you’ll finally tackle that space or goal you have in your mind, and then all the reasons why it’s just too hard totally derail you from progress?

I get it! You’re not alone. If you feel like it’ll take too long or you’re completely unmotivated to get something done, listen to this episode that talks about the helpful 1% rule! I’ve used it in my life many times, when writing my book, organizing spaces, prepping snacks and lunches, and refining our bedtime routine. My clients and audience members from talks I’ve done before have since shared with me the life-changing ways they’ve used this concept to get closer to their goals without the paralyzing overwhelm!

Highlights from this episode:

{05:56} What is the 1% rule?

{09:03} How I applied it to my life

{12:19} How it can help you

Ep 097: Word for the Year

Paige Killian — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 05:30:00 -0700

It’s never too late to choose a word that’ll keep you focused on your goals, big and small!

After a late-night, eye-opening conversation with my brother about business decisions and what lofty goals to shoot for this year, I was reminded to test my plans against scripture.

I’ve learned that God’s plan is always greater than mine. If I’m choosing to have a faith-based business and make choices to serve, I have to be intentional about what I “pursue.”

Whether it’s the first of the year or halfway through, I highly recommend choosing a word that inspires, motivates, and is grounded in scripture. Pray on it, read what the Bible says about it, and watch the blessings God has for you come to life!

Highlights from this episode:

{01:25} Clearing the clutter

{08:28} Basing action in scripture

{11:38} I was wrong (and that happens often!)

{17:14} 2020 was all about patience

{22:15} You are not alone

{25:43} Enlightenment through prayer

Ep 096: Paralysis by Analysis

Paige Killian — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 05:30:00 -0700

It’s the beginning of a new year, and we can’t let those old feelings of frustration or indecisiveness keep us paralyzed when it comes to getting organized once & for all!

Let’s focus on 3 things that can keep you motivated and moving forward.

Start with what you know.

Inspired by the story of Abram in Genesis 12, I dove deeper into what it means to pursue our purpose. (Yes, that’s Abram, before he was called Abraham…you know like the song, “Father Abraham had many sons…”)

So what’s your purpose? Loaded question, huh? We multitasking moms could probably answer that in lots of different ways.

Ep 083: Organization as Therapy

Paige Killian — Mon, 11 Oct 2021 04:30:00 -0700

As a recovering perfectionist I’ve learned how therapeutic organization in my home and schedule can be.

I grew up with this self-imposed, overachieving mentality that only escalated my anxiety and stress level everyday. As I’ve gotten older I’ve found ways to be a leader, entrepreneur, business owner, mom, and every other job I accept, without having to take on the burdens of those responsibilities. Instead, I’ve learned to alleviate much of that stress and anxiety and enjoy those roles to the fullest!

Organization has been the key to that enjoyment and in many ways become my own form of therapy.

Here are 3 ways I use organization as therapy.

Essential: Have less. (Less is more!)

Enhancement: Manage realistic expectations.

Extra: Style your space with the proper organizers.

Highlights from this episode:

{3:19} Organization helped me, and it can help you too

{6:52} Don't hide your imperfections

{9:31} Stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself

{15:23} Let your kids be kids

{21:14} Finding a post-Covid routine that works for you

{24:53} Have realistic expectations

{28:06} Organize your things to keep anxiety at bay

Ep 079: Snack and Lunch Prep

Paige Killian — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Whether you dread it or embrace it, preparing food for the week ahead can be done in 3 simple steps!

On this episode I’m sharing some things to think about when packing your kids’ school snacks and lunches for the week in just 15 minutes on Sundays. We’ve been doing this since my first one was in preschool six years ago. How did that happen so fast?!?

With conversations about unnecessary food waste with our kiddos, choosing age appropriate portions, and allowing them to pick their fruits, veggies, proteins, and special treats, we’ve got it working like a well oiled machine. Listen to this week’s episode to hear how it’s done!

Ep 078: Deboxing and Decanting

Paige Killian — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Achieve both form and function when you toss (recycle, of course) those mismatched boxes and decant your items into lovely clear containers!

Bonus points if you slap a helpful label on them!

This week, we’re talking about decluttering all the spaces in your home, like your pantry, countertops, cabinets and more, and making them work better for you and your family.

Ditching the hodgepodge of branded packaging from your space and replacing them with the proper organization containers you can see through will save you time, money, and even your sanity! Listen to this episode to find out how, and share it with a friend so she gets to enjoy the benefits of form and function in her home too.

Highlights from this episode:

{2:16} It's not just a pantry thing

{5:13} Make your food beautiful to look at

{7:47} Take the stress out of shopping lists

Ep 077: Linen Closet Organization

Paige Killian — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Whether you have a small bathroom cabinet or an entire closet, organizing your linens can have both form and function!

On this episode I suggest some ways to get that “possibly overfilled with mismatched or unused bedding and towels” space working better for you and your family, which starts with that essential purge!

Once you’ve settled on what stays, it’s time to group them together in like categories and properly fold them to fit the shelves or containers so it’s most convenient for accessing. (Not to mention, easy on the eyes!)

Don’t forget to donate or repurpose those unused linens as you go. You’ve got this!

Highlights from this episode:

{3:58} Organizing your linen space

{5:42} Don't let the linen closet become clutter overfill

{9:19} Bring some hotel style home with you

Ep 76: Stop Overbuying

Paige Killian — Mon, 23 Aug 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Let’s be real. Have you ever bought something in bulk, perhaps in an effort to save money, and ended up not using it or ran out of storage space to contain it all?

It happens! Even with the best money and time saving intentions.

Has your garage turned into your backstock area with mountains of stuff on shelves or maybe you’ve lost track of stuff you overbought because it got shoved into storage closets or deep cabinets never to be seen again?

Also happens. I’ve uncovered lots of this stuff as an organizer and have been guilty of overbuying and tucking things away too.

On this episode we’ll get to the bottom of why this may be happening and how to prevent it from costing you in the long run.

Highlights from this episode:

{2:28} Using what we have

{3:29} Out of sight out of mind

{6:41} Overbuying leads to overkill

{8:19} Be prepared, but consider the limitations of your space

{10:00} Even great stuff can turn into clutter

Ep 075: Use What You Have

Paige Killian — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 04:30:00 -0700

If you want to get organized but feel like you don’t have the money or time to invest in shopping for new containers, it’s okay to use what you already have!

On this episode I talk about that common concern I hear often from people I meet at speaking events or new clients during our initial consultation.

You’d be surprised at what we can repurpose to achieve that Pinterest-worthy, organized look in your home using stuff you may have planned to toss or never considered using for organization before now.

I hope these suggestions for organizing all your spaces will save you time and money, plus get those creative wheels turning when you need to get resourceful!

Ep 074: Label Your Stuff

Paige Killian — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Getting organized and now you're at the part where you choose to label your containers or opt out completely?

On this episode I’m talking about all your options! There are almost endless ways to identify what’s tucked away in your opaque bins and woven baskets like clip labels of every color, dry erase labels, adhesive stickers, custom labels, label-maker labels with multiple fonts and simple or fancy borders!

You may choose to label your clear or colorful bins with a chalk pen, Sharpie, crayon, or stencil. Maybe you even label the drawer or shelf on which the container will live? You could also be the rebel or minimalist, who completely opts out of a label if you think it’s unnecessary.

I’ve fallen into all of these categories at different times! You have to choose the style that works best for you, and there’s no right or wrong here. Just make sure that if you’ve made the effort to organize your stuff, you know what is where and how much of it you have! Labels are a great way to do that.

Highlights from this episode:

{2:13} Make sure your containers are serving you in the best way possible

{4:04} Why you might NOT need to label something

{7:46} Why you WOULD label your stuff

{8:58} I love chalk pens

Ep 073: Less Is More

Paige Killian — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 04:30:00 -0700

If you ever feel like your stuff is taking over, the kids lose interest in their toys quickly, or your cabinets and closets are bursting at the seams, perhaps it’s time to own less.

I’m a big believer that having less actually gives you more! When you have less items to clean up, wash, organize, and find a place for, you gain precious time back in your day and physical space to enjoy as well.

You may also find that the value of your stuff goes up when you have less. You appreciate what you have more and this can lead to some lovely mental peace as well.

On this episode I discuss these thoughts further and suggest ways you might consider intentionally choosing to have less, so that you gain so much more in time, space, experiences, and the overall health and well-being of you and your family!

Highlights from this episode:

{2:13} The importance of the essential purge

{5:00} Clutter takes up physical and mental space

{8:37} Request gift substitutes on party invites

{11:00} Make a conscious effort to put things away

Ep 072: Hiring an Organizer

Paige Killian — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Of course, this month’s Hiring Help Series wouldn’t be complete without talking about the many reasons to hire a professional organizer for your home!

This just so happens to be my passion. I love using my 3 E’s Philosophy to get the organization process done in just 3 simple steps, because who has time for more than that?!?

When you choose to hire a professional organizer, they can take the stress and overwhelm out of getting your home to serve you best, while focusing on your particular style. Having that person or team come into your space and see all your clutter or little secrets (we all have them…even organizers) can feel a little scary!

The transformation, however, is totally worth the investment and can transform so much more than your home. It can be life changing!

Ep 071: Hiring A Sitter

Paige Killian — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 04:30:00 -0700

We’re talking about the amazingness of hiring a sitter to give you a much needed hand on this episode!

When was the last time you had someone watch the kids so you could get stuff done solo, meet up with a friend, have a date night, or get in a workout or massage without interruption?

If it’s been a minute, I’m here to tell you that when Mom gets a break from the delightful and sometimes exhausting responsibilities of parenting those littles, everyone wins!

On this episode I talk about all the great reasons to hire a trusted, recommended sitter or nanny, or find a certified pro through a reputable service (see the link below), without feeling the mom guilt of making some time for you. Yes, please!

Highlights from this episode:

{2:50} You don't have to do it all yourself

{7:09} Different ways to find a good sitter

Ep 070: Hiring a Housekeeper

Paige Killian — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 04:30:00 -0700

The Hiring Help Series continues this week as I discuss the benefits of getting a qualified, trusted person to help you keep your home tidy!

I know you can clean your house yourself, but sometimes you need backup for those toilets, showers, kitchen appliances, and whatever else you just don’t want to do. It’s such a gift to have a trusted family friend or licensed professional work their magic on your home however often you need the assistance.

If you find that those tedious household chores bring more stress and annoyance to your life than you’ve got time or patience for, then perhaps it’s time to allow someone to help you out with it.

If you need permission to put some money toward this luxury, then I’m giving it to you now, girlfriend! The mental relaxation and enjoyment you get from hiring a housekeeper to take some pressure off of you is worth the investment!

Highlights from this episode:

{2:22} Hiring help

{5:00} A hired hand creates accountability

Ep 069: Hiring a Handyman

Paige Killian — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Starting out the Hiring Help Series in the month of July, I’m talking about the benefits of hiring a handy person to help with jobs in your home!

If you’ve been putting off stuff you want to get done for any reason, like you’re too busy, too tired, don’t want to, feel unable to do it, or feel guilty about asking for help because you think you should be doing it yourself, then ask yourself if it’ll ever get done.

Is it worth all the stress and frustration of the constant reminder that you haven’t checked that thing (or multiple things) off your to do list?

Having my handyman come over a couple of times a week or month to do odd jobs that I put off or can’t do on my own has been such a huge relief mentally and physically. Whether it’s changing out hardware, outlet covers, paint, or light fixtures for a fresh, updated look, or mounting shelves in my laundry room and bikes in the garage for a more organized aesthetic, the jobs are getting done way faster than if I tried to do them all myself. That’s worth hiring someone who knows what he’s doing so I can spend my time focusing on the things I enjoy doing!

Highlights from this episode:

{0:57} It's ok to ask for help

{4:49} Don't let the little tasks weigh you down

{8:34} How to find a handyperson

{11:45} A handyperson is handier than you think

{15:28} What's the worst that can happen?

{18:32} Don't be afraid to make requests

{20:50} The little things can make a big difference

{28:28} Don't leave jobs half done

{34:10} It is definitely ok to hire somebody

Ep 068: Summer Fun After Covid

Paige Killian — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 04:30:00 -0700

As Covid restrictions lift more and more, I’m thinking about ways to plan for some fun activities this summer!

Whether you plan to travel or stay close to home, it’s so exciting to see more places open up like restaurants, movie theatres, museums, and summer camps! I’m seeing actual smiles recently as less masks are having to be worn, and actual hugs (not virtual ones) are on the rise. I know we’ll be feeling the effects of this global pandemic for a lifetime, but I’m hopeful that we can continue to make great memories with our family and friends as we begin to gather together again.

Let’s stay safe and find ways to embrace our new normal with age-appropriate activities, games, and social functions that’ll make this summer a memorable one!

Ep 067: Simple Organizing Strategies

Paige Killian — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Inspired by some recent guests in my home, I decided to do a recap of some of the simplest strategies I use to stay organized.

I’ve shared how my 3 E’s Philosophy is something I default to in my own home, in my client’s, and when setting any other goals I want to accomplish. The idea is to simplify everything so it doesn’t become so overwhelming and stressful that it never gets done. My 3-step strategy, focusing on your Essentials, Enhancements, and Extras will help you purge the clutter, sell or donate your unused items, and then put the proper organization bins in place.

After you’ve spent that time, effort, and possibly money on getting organized, I share how to keep it that way by organizing on autopilot!

Highlights from this episode:

{2:55} Keeping everything in its place

{6:33} Creating a positive environment for guests

{10:09} The 3 E’s

{12:35} The purge

Ep 066: Packing for Family Trips

Paige Killian — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Grab your suitcase, your packing cubes, those nighttime diapers, and start praying because it’s time for a family trip!

On this episode, we’re talking about a ton of things that have been lifesavers on planes, trains, and automobiles with the littles. From airplane surprises to extra ziplock bags for accidents, when you’re planning ahead and expecting the unexpected, your family trip can be a little less bumpy.

I’m sharing the stuff you can start packing a week in advance straight out of the dryer in the laundry room, and the items you may consider shipping ahead to your final destination.

Although I cover a lot on this episode, I’ve put the whole list and then some in my Online Kids Course (see link below) that’ll have you feeling totally prepared for traveling with kids even if you’re completely outnumbered!

Paige Killian — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 04:30:00 -0700

We survived another Covid school year and now it’s time to think about summer plans that might include traveling!

On this episode I talk about things that have worked well in the past when traveling with my littles, plus some new things to consider as we visit other places that may have different restrictions and rules because of the pandemic.

No matter when and where you’re traveling, it’s always smart to plan ahead and expect the unexpected!

Think about booking travel times around nap schedules, pack things that allow for easy access and will work in tight spaces like tiny bathrooms on a plane or bus, expect delays and have a backup plan, find opportunities to compliment your kids’ behavior, and stay positive with a sense of humor in case things really go off the rails!

Don’t worry, you’ve got this!

Ep 063: Give Yourself More Credit

Paige Killian — Mon, 24 May 2021 04:30:00 -0700

Are you giving yourself credit for all the things you are accomplishing each day that never even make it on your to do list?

For example, did you give yourself credit for stopping your life to bandage a skinned knee, kiss a boo boo, give a hug, call to check on a loved one who is lonely, remind your kiddos every day to brush their teeth so they don’t get cavities, give them a bath to teach them good hygiene, have a much-needed, good belly laugh when life gets crazy, or put down your phone to have a serious conversation with your kid about something that happened at school that day?

Oh, you didn’t put that stuff on your to do list??? Of course, you didn’t, but those things can be way more important and valuable than doing laundry, the dishes, answering emails, or attacking that mail pile.

How about acting fast to grab your toddler that bolted toward the street to get a bouncing ball…did you put “save my kid’s life” on your to do list today? I’m guessing, no. How about the follow up conversation you had about never running into the street because it’s so dangerous?

It’s so easy to look at the lack of check marks on your list at the end of the day and feel like you should’ve done more, but PLEASE, Mama, don’t forget to give yourself more credit for all the other stuff you did that will never be a box you check on your list.

You are amazing! You are doing plenty! So as we celebrate Moms in all of their bath-giving, life-saving glory this month, don’t forget to give yourself some serious props for all that you do!

Highlights from this episode:

{2:32} The guilt free to-do list

{3:30} Celebrating accomplishing the things that we'd never put on our to-do lists

{9:37} Consider that the things not on your to-do list can be more important than the things that are.

{11:42} Recognizing the life lessons and conversations we have with our children as accomplishments

{16:26} What we learned about ourselves during quarantine

{21:19} What your kids will remember as they grow up

{22:38} Creating beautiful memories

Ep 062: Move Your Body

Paige Killian — Mon, 17 May 2021 04:30:00 -0700

When was the last time you did something for yourself? For me, this looks like prioritizing workouts. I used to be great at this. I did yoga, Pilates, Soul Cycle, dance classes, major organizing jobs that counted as cardio and weightlifting and didn’t hesitate to hire a personal trainer when I needed that extra accountability.

I can easily get distracted by all those important Mom life things and find that another week or month has gone by, and I never really prioritized a physical workout. Can you relate?

This episode is a friendly reminder to spend some extra time on yourself. If that means a workout for you, but finding the time or money to make that happen feels overwhelming, simplify it! Just decide to move your body intentionally. If that’s 30 minutes of push-ups and stretching, going for a walk with your neighbor, or hiring a boxing trainer to whip you into shape, then go for it!

Here’s where I tell you I’m totally obsessed with boxing now because I hired a trainer. I needed the accountability, and boy did I get it! Stay tuned for a boxing video montage that will surely follow this episode.

Highlights from this episode:

{2:41} How quarantine has led to some unhelpful eating habits

{5:22} Hiring a personal trainer

{7:10} The importance of simplicity when moving your body

{7:58} Setting up a walking group

{8:55} Creating accountability

{10:46} Simple ways to use weights at home

{12:23} Find a way to move your body that works best for you

Ep 061: Moms Helping Moms with Talitha Phillips

Paige Killian — Mon, 10 May 2021 04:30:00 -0700

The rockstar Mom and CEO of Claris Health, Talitha Phillips, is sharing her story and her mission to help other moms on this week’s episode!

I’m overjoyed to have this dream guest on my podcast, especially during the month of May when we are celebrating moms!! Literally, I wrote down in my journal over a year ago her name as an amazing future guest and now she’s here, talking about the loving way Claris came into her life to help her deal with a difficult decision, and how God opened up the doors 20 years ago to become a leader within this great organization.

I’ve been a big fan of the work Talitha and the team at Claris Health do to serve the community, and more specifically moms, as they navigate pregnancy, before, during, and after so that families feel supported and loved every step of the way.

They provide diapers and wipes, parenting classes, pregnancy education and prevention, a mobile medical service for those without transportation, support through the adoption process, counseling around abortion, bible studies, and so much more.

I’m honored to know her and support this wonderful mission!

Highlights from this episode:

{3:11} Introduction to Talitha

{9:59} How Talitha started her business

{16:38} How the work became Talitha's calling

{19:45} The mobile services that Claris offers

Ep 060: Ask For Help

Paige Killian — Mon, 03 May 2021 05:30:00 -0700

In May we celebrate Moms and this month on the podcast will be all about them! Most days we are crushing this Mom thing (give yourself more credit if you think you aren’t), and on the days that feel too overwhelming, we have to remember to ask for help!

On this episode I got real about the bad day I was having. I was emotional (can you hear it in my voice??), frustrated, and at a loss for what to do about some parenting stuff that kept coming up.

As a busy, working Mom of littles, I have to remind myself that I don’t have to have it all figured out and that it totally takes a village! The struggle is real some days, and we don’t have to be everything to everyone. Instead, we can ask for help. We can tap into all the resources around us like doctors, teachers, coaches, pastors, other moms, and my favorite source of strength...God. Sometimes I’m praying hourly. How about you?

Highlights from this episode:

{6:46} There's no handbook for being a mom

{9:18} It's ok to not have it all figured out

{11:35} What about outside help?

{15:48} A celebration of moms

{18:15} Permission to ask for help

Mentioned on this episode:

Upcoming episodes in May with some outstanding Mom guests!

Ep 059: An Organized Bathroom

Paige Killian — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 04:30:00 -0700

On the final episode of the April Spring Cleaning Series, I’m talking about getting your bathroom organized and going back to make sure some of the organization you may have put in before is still working for you.

As a busy mom of littles I know that bathrooms can become a high traffic area in your home that can quickly become overrun with bathtub toys, everyone’s toothbrushes and towels, unused travel-sized products from 6 years ago, misplaced clothes on the floor, and certainly the oddities that never belonged in a bathroom at all!

When utilizing drawer dividers to contain your items, mounting helpful hooks, and maximizing the vertical space in the cabinets under your sink, you’ll have your bathroom countertops cleared of clutter for a more efficient and zen space. Heaven knows I’ve used it as an escape room some days too, so it needs to be serving us in more ways than just a bathroom!

Highlights from this episode:

{3:14} Purging your bathroom

{6:11} Using white, wipeable containers in bathroom drawers

{10:14} Taking care of your hair brushes

{12:48} Using age appropriate organisers in your bathroom

{16:39} Acrylic tower organizers for under the sink area

{19:43} Your bathroom as an extension of the style in your home

Paige Killian — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 04:30:00 -0700

This week I’m talking about how to organize that awkwardly shaped closet under your stairs for our third week of the Spring Cleaning Series (now affectionately known as the “We can do better!” Series).

After a quick recap of the beginning episodes in April about countertops & entryways, I discuss how to get this storage closet organized in 3 simple steps!

Whether it’s being used for holiday decor, memorabilia storage, an activity closet, your luggage and surfboard collection, an adorable kid cave for book reading and making sweet memories, or a catch-all for everything you own, it should definitely be working best for you and your family!

Using The 3 E’s Philosophy, let’s maximize that space to its fullest potential and have your future self thanking you for investing the time in a good purge, donation of unused items, and outfitting it with the proper organization!

Ep 057: A Welcoming Entryway

Paige Killian — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 04:30:00 -0700

To continue our Spring Cleaning Series this month, I’m talking about how to make our entryway a welcoming place for our guests and ourselves!

It’s so easy to come into our home with our arms full of stuff like a stack of mail, keys, bags, sunglasses, groceries, work items, kid activities, coats, backpacks, and drop them on the floor or side table with the best of intentions of putting them away later.

Suddenly your entryway becomes a dumping ground for everything you’ve used that day, plus the entire family’s shoes they’ve worn throughout the week. It looks more like a locker room that a tornado blew through than a great first impression that paints a picture of your inviting home.

We can do better! In this episode, I talk about some simple and very effective ways to clear the clutter, use some best practices for keeping it looking tidy as you organize on autopilot, and add some style that represents you in your entryway and says, “Welcome!”

Highlights from this episode:

{2:02} You are worth the time and investment of creating a warm and welcoming entryway

{3:32} Storing your shoes and using catch all baskets

{8:35} Storing other entryway items

This episode about clearing the clutter on our countertops kicks off the Spring Cleaning Series in April. This one is for anyone who thinks it’s time to up the organization in their home, not just busy Moms of littles.

Full disclosure: I hate cleaning. Yep! I can organize the heck out of your pantry, closet, or garage, but the actual cleaning part is not my fave.

So this month, I’ll be first easing into spring cleaning from an organizer’s perspective, starting with our countertops that can easily be considered the catch-all for everything! Whether it’s the never-ending mail pile, the life-size kid artwork, the works in progress, the food-stained, extra appliances, or your makeup, yesterday’s laundry, and your child’s random collection of whatever they’ve picked up on walks recently, it’s time we cleared the clutter to see the blessings all around us!

Don’t let that stuff get in the way of your creativity or your peace of mind. It’s time for a good purge, donation, and adding in the proper organization to beautifully contain the things you are keeping on your countertops!

Highlights from this episode:

{2:42} Clearing the clutter to see the blessings God has for us

Perhaps you want to set this up for your kids to enjoy and grow their love of reading or a certain activity as well?

In this episode that’s exactly what I’m talking about tackling, including ways to keep that space looking tidy, welcoming, and organized in 3 simple steps!

Paige Killian — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 06:57:07 -0700

I’ll be hitting the big 4-0 in March so I thought a little organization self-reflection would make for a fun episode!

This week I’m talking about what it’s been like organizing in my 30’s as a new busy mom of littles. In those early days, it was all about hiding all the baby gear and toys in neutral baskets, embracing hand-me-downs, and getting really good at doing the purge when they quickly outgrew things.

Then, it was a matter of organizing what was leftover in kid-friendly ways that would give our family the best chance of success. Sometimes that just meant success in surviving the day!

Highlights from this episode:

{2:45} Turning 40

{4:39} How organizing is different now to my early 30's

Ep 050: Create a Servant’s Heart

Paige Killian — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 06:30:00 -0700

On this milestone EPISODE 50 that wraps up our Desires of Your Heart series, I’m talking about how to create and encourage a servant’s heart in our kiddos and ourselves!

When my parents named me Paige, which literally means “to serve,” my path was set. I’ve always loved finding a way to help, (selfishly) because I love the feeling I get when I can surprise someone with something they need, assist them in getting organized, or volunteer for a deserving cause. It fills up my heart with joy and excitement!

That’s exactly what I want my kids to feel...joy and excitement when they find a way to serve others, using their God-given gifts.

I’m a firm believer in teaching them ways to help at a really young age. On this episode you’ll hear suggestions for ways they can serve and how to encourage and reward that behavior. Creating a servant’s heart in our kids will teach them to seek out blessings in helping others!

Be sure to read more about my Online Kids Course in the link below for more ideas about organizing your kids space, rewarding positive behavior, prepping healthy, yummy snacks and lunches on Sundays for the whole week in just 15 minutes, traveling and shopping with littles, and so much more!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:29} Introduction to creating a servant’s heart

{4:23} How doing the work you love never feels like a job

{6:42} Thinking about what God has given you as a gift

{7:52} How to identify your gifts and what you want to do more of

{9:04} How to create a servant’s heart in our children

{13:34} How to take what God has given us and use it to serve others

Ep 049: Share Your Personality

Paige Killian — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0700

On this episode, I discuss the four basic temperaments and how they shape our personalities. It’s always so interesting to learn more about what makes us special and our kids too!

I read about this study years ago as a teenager, took the Wired That Way personality profile, and took it again when I was in a Mommy and Me class as a new mom. It’s pretty funny how parenthood can affect our personality...or maybe that’s just the lack of sleep!

Find the link below to take it yourself and learn which parts of your personality shine, which traits you’d like to sharpen, and which you might like to soften. No matter what you discover about yourself, it’s so important to share it with others. God made each of us so unique and our personalities allow us to share our gifts with the world!

Highlights from this episode:

{5:09} Introduction to sharing your personality

This week on the podcast I’m talking about knowing and embracing our love language! Not only that but choosing to show others love based on theirs.

If you’ve never read Gary Chapman’s book, The 5 Love Languages, I highly recommend it. I’m definitely a product of that book. My parents discovered it when I was a kid and it’s been fun and certainly enlightening to learn more about how we give and receive love best.

Embracing my love language wasn’t always easy. I resisted it for a while because it felt a little superficial. (You’ll have to listen to find out why!) As I’ve gotten older, however, I realize that it’s more beneficial to me and my loved ones if I just embrace it! I hope this episode encourages you to do the same. It’s amazing how much it’s helped me to know my kids’ love language and husband’s too, so we can all connect with each other’s hearts on a much deeper level.

Highlights from this episode:

{6:05} Introduction to the 5 Love Languages

{11:40} Words of affirmation

{11:49} Physical touch

{18:16} Quality time

{27:09} Acts of service

{34:48} Gifts

Ep 047: Organize Your Heart

Paige Killian — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 06:30:00 -0700

In this episode, I introduce a new series for February that’ll be focused on the desires of our heart! As a busy mom of littles, I need the constant reminder of what the good book says. “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4

Organizing our home, wardrobe, kids, and schedule is certainly a good thing. Making sure that we prioritize the desires of our heart is even better!

The world was flipped upside down in 2020 and as we recover and move forward in the new year toward positivity and growth, I believe we must be led by our heart.

Kindness and love for others starts with showing up for ourselves too. On this episode, I share my 3 E’s to begin the decluttering and organizing of our heart. God has so many blessings and promises for our future, and I’m learning that the more I lean into that, the more I see Him giving me the desires of my heart. I hope you find comfort in this scripture and peace and joy in your heart.

Highlights from this episode:

{3:23} Thinking about what lights you up

{8:31} The idea of organizing your heart

{13:39} Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart

{21:51} Using the 3 E's to organize your heart

[23:08} The Essential: Pray

{23:31} The Enhancement: Share with other people

{25:23} The Extra: Purge the clutter in your heart

Ep 046: Making Your Bed

Paige Killian — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 06:30:00 -0700

Starting off the day by making your bed is the simplest way to immediately feel like you’ve accomplished something and sets the tone for more productivity!

Can this whole episode really be about making your bed? Oh yes! It starts with a funny story that even the dads listening may appreciate. Then I talk about the way we enlist help from the other people sharing your space so you don’t have to feel like making your bed has to be an annoying stressor everyday.

I suggest some ways to make it oh so simple when choosing proper bedding that will feel like a lot less effort when making and a speedier process to launder.

The truth is, this intentional, little act of organizing your space can have a big impact on how the rest of your day goes.

Highlights from this episode:

{03:24} A funny story for the dads out there

{06:27} You don't need to be a one-woman show

{08:42} Making your bed sets the tone for the day

Ep 045: Living in Organization Limbo

Paige Killian — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 06:30:00 -0700

Who can relate to having a few (or a lot) of things that are in between wearing or using? If you have kids, especially, you may understand hanging on to some hand-me-downs they haven’t quite grown into yet, or might be hanging on too long to things you should probably let go.

This can be true for furniture, or bedding, or any other things you’ve gotten a while ago that may not be your style these days, but you want to keep for now because it does the job.

That’s what I call living in organization limbo.

It can be tricky to know the best way to organize and style these items. So, on this episode I suggest some ways to contain these things while in limbo and how to be grateful for what you have right now.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{4:16} What is organization limbo?

{8:12} Organizing the items we want to keep but don't need yet into properly labeled bins

{8:59} Organizing gifted furniture

{13:14} Using the 3 E's in 2021 to map out your year of organizing

{14:25} Using clear plastic boxes to keep your child's hand-me-downs in

{15:23} Deciding on the items you'll use again and which you'll purge

{19:01} Paige's Top 3's

{20:51} Displaying your sentimental items

Ep 043: New Year’s Organization Plan

Paige Killian — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 06:30:00 -0700

We’ve made it to 2021 and it’s time to plan ahead, even if that’s still with some caution and uncertainty. After a year like we’ve just had, there’s value in keeping it simple!

On this week’s episode I suggest ways to do just that. Stick to those tried-and-true 3 E’s, with the realistic knowledge that planning to pivot when those plans get derailed is a safe bet!

Choose a word that you can keep referring back to as the year progresses to keep you focused on your goal for the new year.

And by all means, pursue your passion no matter what! If it’s on your heart, you’ve prayed about it, and it feels like God continues to open doors for opportunity, then nothing should hold you back...not even a pandemic! It might look a little different than what you initially envisioned, but with some planning ahead, creative thinking, and lots of prayer, the possibilities are endless!

Highlights from this episode:

Ep 041: Wrapping Station Organization

Paige Killian — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 06:30:00 -0700

Whether gifts are your love language year round or just for the holidays, I suggest ways you can have an organized wrapping station anywhere in your space!

On this episode, I start with sharing some holiday themes we’ve used and encourage picking wrapping paper and gift bags to coordinate with any themes you may choose for your upcoming holidays or special occasions. This will allow your beautifully wrapped gifts to become part of your decor!

When you have a designated space in your home for wrapping presents, you can shop ahead and have gifts awaiting every occasion, or grab those last minute deals and wrap them thoughtfully and quickly on-the-go!

No matter how large or small your space, it’s possible to create an organized wrapping station in a closet, cabinet, drawer, door, wall, or even in the trunk of your car! Having proper organizers like drawer dividers, over-the-door hangers, moveable wall mounts with baskets of all sizes, under-the-bed containers, or an umbrella stand to hold all those long rolls of paper in place is the key to wrapping station organization.

There you can include some additional accessories like tape dispensers for your wrist, scissors and wrapping paper cutters, double-sided tape, gift toppers, gift cards, ribbons, bows, tags, batteries, and pens and markers to personalize all your fun surprises!

Highlights from this episode:

{5:37} Having a theme for your holiday gift wrapping

{9:10} Shopping for smaller gifts all year round to take the pressure off at the holidays

{10:02} Creating a space at home to store gifts until they’re ready for wrapping

{10:30} What a socially distanced holiday looks like when planning your shopping

{12:19} Using over the door organizers

{14:44} Extras to add to your wrapping station

{17:27} How wrapping station organization can be all year round

{19:19} Putting together a basket of gift toppers

{23:33} Putting thought into how your gifts are wrapped no matter the cost

{25:39} How to organize your wrapping paper rolls

{29:40} Using rods for ribbons and paper

Mentioned on this episode:

Kid gift and activity ideas to keep them busy while you wrap, like Mad Matter, Kinetic Sand, and activity trays to contain the mess while they create. Find these ideas and more at Lakeshore Learning.

Wrapping paper and organizers can be found at The Container Store, Amazon, Michael’s, Target, Dollar Stores, and more.

Ep 040: Organize and Style Your Holidays

Paige Killian — Mon, 14 Dec 2020 06:30:00 -0700

With the final holiday season of the year fast approaching, I thought I’d share 3 simple steps to organize and style them so they are working best for the whole family!

The 3 E’s to apply to your holidays:

Essential: Self Care/Visualize Success

Enhancement: Write down your 3 E’s

Extra: Delegate Responsibilities

Taking care of ourselves is more important than ever and certainly affects those around us. The last thing we want as we’re trying to create fun and lasting memories for the holidays is to feel stressed and cause anxiety for our loved ones.

Plan ahead to give yourself the time and attention you need and visualize any hiccups that might come your way, so you’ll be prepared to pivot!

Next, write down your personal 3 E’s you want to focus on for the holidays and share them with your family in order to manage those realistic expectations. Actually writing them down makes them real and actionable!

Finally, delegate away, girlfriend! Coordinating your holidays shouldn’t feel like a solo mission. Ask for help, even if you know you can do it by yourself. People like to feel needed and included in the process. Family togetherness is definitely the name of the game in 2020, so enjoy the helpful hands...after they’ve been thoroughly washed, of course!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{3:39} Step 1: Self care and visualizing success

{13:03} Step 2: Writing down your 3 E’s

{16:02} Step 3: Delegating responsibilities

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 1: The 3 E’s Philosophy

Ep 20: A Successfully Organized Move

Ep 35: Finding Blessings in 2020

Ep 039: Outside-the-Box Organization

Paige Killian — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 06:30:00 -0700

After a quick recap of the episodes from the November Thankfulness Series, I suggested ways to think outside the box when organizing and styling your space. Here are some of the examples that came up in this episode, plus a few extras.

I’ve used kitchen drawer dividers for arts and crafts, makeup organizers for a desktop display, over-the-door shoe rack in our kids’ activity closet, a large party ice bucket for a laundry hamper, an art cart for a podcast station, and a divided turntable (lazy susan) in just about every room of the house!

Just because you need an organizer for your bedroom or closet, doesn’t mean you’re limited to shopping only in that department. I found a clothing organizer for my daughter’s room in the bathroom section of Bed, Bath & Beyond. Don’t forget your 20% off coupon before you place your order!

Shopping the kids section for your organization and home decor can have great benefits too. These days the kids department can offer great design choices totally suitable for an adult space, but for a fraction of the cost. Next time you need a basic sheet set for your queen size guest bed or a couple of blackout panels for the windows in your master bedroom, checkout Pottery Barn Kids! You’ll get a great quality product but for less since it’s from the kids’ store.

Highlights from this episode:

{2:51} Recap of previous November episodes

{7:35} Celebrating milestone moments on Instagram and the podcast

{11:08} Shopping for items in unexpected areas of the store

{15:38} Buying from the kids section for a budget-friendly price

{17:20} Think outside the box when shopping for organizing solutions

Ep 038: Turning Memories into Art with Liberty Worth

Paige Killian — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 06:30:00 -0700

Rounding out this Thankfulness Series in November is the lovely and talented Liberty Worth on this week’s episode.

Liberty shares how she takes your precious memories from fabrics, like lace, cotton, silk, wool, corduroy, and denim from that scarf you got on a trip to Italy, a wedding or bridesmaids dress, or a loved one’s favorite shirt, and turns it into art.

She believes that fabric holds memories, and her mission is to take those sentimental items that may be taking up space in your drawers, closet, or storage area and transform them into functional quilts for a bed or hanging wall art. These heirloom quality works of art are a modern take on quilted designs that will tell meaningful stories for generations to come.

As an organizer, I love how she takes these important, sentimental items that may be crowding your space or reading as clutter and creates a simplified, artistic way for the whole family to enjoy them!

Not only did we talk about her masterful quilts, but we dove into why serving the community through volunteering, teaching others how to sew, cranking out masks for those in need, and working on a neighborhood beautification project in downtown LA, absolutely lights her up!

Highlights from this episode:

{1:59} Introduction to Liberty

{6:07} Repurpose fabrics to create art

{12:25} Reliving your memories through the fabrics

{22:33} The Coloring Book Plaza event and neighborhood beautification

Ep 037: Repurpose and Reimagine Your Stuff

Paige Killian — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 06:30:00 -0700

Feeling super inspired by the move to our new home and this continued Thankfulness Series, I recorded this episode all about using the stuff you already have to give your space a new look!

After visiting a friend’s home in Florida after our college graduation, I saw how her mom had repurposed furniture she had in one room to transform another one! She reimagined her bedrooms, living space, and bonus game room for the big kids every couple of years by choosing new themes, changing up the paint, switching out pieces of furniture between rooms, and adding some new accessories.

I definitely did this as we moved into our new house this November, instead of just transferring the same old look we had for years from one home to another.

I talked about updates to our kids’ rooms and shared some projects I worked on in my parents’ home a few years ago, when we created a nursery for the grandkids using furniture they already had in other rooms.

Highlights from this episode:

{4:14} Reimagine your space

{9:07} Walk around your house and note the things you like the most

{14:31} Repurpose your furniture

{14:16} The importance of letting kids find their style for their spaces

{21:24} Find ideas to refresh your space on Pinterest

Mentioned on this episode:

Use chalk paint to transform old furniture

Add decorative accessories like pillows and throws

Add a loft bed for more space for activities

Display sentimental items in frames or on shelves

Transformations:

File cabinet to changing table

Nightstand to Lego station

Kids’ room to homeschool workspace

I hope you enjoy these suggestions to repurpose and reimagine your stuff! Keep looking for those blessings in 2020 and have a very happy, socially-distanced Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

Ep 036: Growing Up Organized with Isabelle Killian

Paige Killian — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 06:30:00 -0700

After much persistence in asking to be on the podcast, my sweet girl, Isabelle, shares what it’s been like growing up organized! What a treat to have her on to discuss how organization in her home and schedule has affected her life positively, especially during this Thankfulness Series on the podcast.

I was amazed to hear her 10-year-old organization analogies and impressively grownup perspective on what it’s meant to her to feel like she’s been able to make her space her own. She talks about how it feels to have the freedom to style her room, workspace for schoolwork and artwork, and play area.

She also discusses what it’s been like to have a professional organizer as a mom. This answer had me laughing!

Grab your kiddos and enjoy this episode together for some organization motivation!

Ep 035: Finding Blessings in 2020

Paige Killian — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 06:30:00 -0700

What an unexpected year this has been! Who could’ve imagined all that we’d be going through to stay safe and healthy in the year 2020? Even though this year has thrown us a few curveballs, I must say, I’ve found some pretty significant blessings in it.

As a part of my November Thankfulness Series I thought it would be great to talk about some of the blessings we’ve all experienced. Not only does that help us practice gratitude, which is always a good thing, but mostly because it’s contagious! Sharing your blessings, big or small in your daily routine, can inspire others to look at what stuff they have to be thankful for in their lives. That’s a beautiful thing!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{8:06} Taking advice to have a successful move

{10:48} Asking for support

{17:20} Being strong together in times of uncertainty

{20:49} Being thankful and sharing your blessings with others

Mentioned on this episode:

Ep 20: A Successfully Organized Move

Ep 21: Moving With Kids with Tiffany Sharp

Ep 28: “It Takes a Village”

The Fight to Flourish by Jennie Lusko

I hope this episode motivates you and your family to start finding more blessings in your life that you may have missed during this crazy pandemic. If so, share them with me and others around you. I can’t wait to hear what God has blessed you with this year! A good cup of coffee, a new home (Oh yeah, I made a big announcement on this episode about buying a new home!), more quality time with your loved ones, a business venture, a fun new hobby, planting a garden, homeschooling, an awesome bible study, Zoom calls, having regular movie nights at home, trying new recipes, exercising, resting and relaxing...it all counts!

Ep 034: Help Your Future Self

Paige Killian — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 06:30:00 -0700

This November I’m starting a Thankfulness Series. On this episode I discuss doing things now so that your ‘future self’ will thank you!

More than ever before we are spending lots of time in our homes, and the need to have some organization in place is real. If you’re a busy mom of littles you’re most likely making snacks and meals round the clock, entertaining the kids, providing social and educational activities, and may even be homeschooling. Not to mention, you still have all of your other responsibilities like running a household, creating pandemic-friendly birthday parties, attempting to connect with your besties however socially-distanced you feel is appropriate, and possibly working outside the home too (even if that takes place inside the home these days)!

All of these things require some level of planning ahead and organizing your space and schedules to make it all work. Even if it’s not the most convenient thing to do, the effort you make now will definitely help your future self.

This episode had me thinking back to some past ones I’ve done (see links below) that suggest ways to simplify the organizing process, so it’s working best for the whole family!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{5:46} Getting organized to help our future self

{9:17} The importance of giving yourself grace

{16:05} Working hard now to help your future self

{19:49} Having difficult conversations

Mentioned on this episode:

Fun Thanksgiving tradition: Turkey on the Table

Ep 2: The Cost of Disorganization

Ep 3: Organize on Autopilot

Ep 7: The Essential Purge

Ep 28: “It Takes a Village”

Ep 30: The Never-Ending Mail Pile

Not only are the daily tasks a great place to start when setting your future self up for success, but also it’s important to talk with your family about the things that can sometimes be difficult or uncomfortable. Financial conversations, wishes of your family members when they pass or become sick, and plans for their home and belongings may not be the most enjoyable topics now, but trust me, your future self will be so grateful you did!

Ep 033: Organize Those Costumes

Paige Killian — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 05:30:00 -0700

It’s Fall, y’all! That means “sweata weatha,” costumes, pumpkin spice, and everything nice! What happens when all those fun costumes start spilling out of garbage bags, overflowing from the toy box, & taking up too much space in your closet? You know half of them don’t even fit anymore!

On this episode, I talk about how to get the most out of your costumes, decide which ones to save, which ones to pass on to someone else, and of course, how to organize what’s leftover so it’s working best for you and your family!

Don’t miss a Halloween mom hack that’s become a fun tradition for us, gotten my kiddos to bed at a decent time, and used our candy collection for a good cause!

Ep 032: Kitchen Cabinet Organization

Paige Killian — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 05:30:00 -0700

Whether you have exposed shelving, glass-front, or fully covered kitchen cabinets, this episode offers solutions for organization that are both beautiful and functional!

When you have kids, you may find that your cabinets are bursting with bottles, sippy cups, water bottles, and every cartoon character accessory known to man. On this episode, I stress the importance of always doing that consistent, regular purge of items you aren’t using anymore (kids’ stuff, holiday items, or one-off randoms), and grouping like items together. This practice will keep them less cluttered and easier to maintain.

Additionally, I share some of my favorite ways to maximize your space, put in the proper organization bins, and style those kitchen uppers and lowers so they are working best for you and your family!

If you find yourself using your cabinets for pantry items like dry food, baking ingredients, canned food, spices, and more, the previously recorded pantry episode (see link below) will be a great backup resource for ideas to organize those. Similarly, it works if you are using your pantry space for cabinet items, such as glassware, small appliances, plates, bowls, etc. Another episode to consider when organizing and styling your shelving is the sixth episode, which discusses ways to maximize your vertical space.

Ep 031: Organize Your Living Room

Paige Killian — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 05:30:00 -0700

Have kids’ toys, clutter, or furniture that doesn’t suit your style anymore taken over your living room? It happens. It doesn’t have to stay that way though!

With some simple organization tips and rules for maintaining your refreshed space, your living room can be an oasis for you, serve the needs of everyone in your home, and be welcoming to your guests.

On this episode, after talking about a very strange encounter with a squirrel outside of my window (listen for a good laugh), I share some of my basic steps for getting organized in your living room when it comes to sharing that space with our sometimes messy kiddos!

Hint: choose neutral organizers that can hide unsightly toys and blend with the style of your home. Also, choose appropriate baskets or bins that make your newly organized space easy to maintain!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{9:07} The Essential: purge anything you don’t need in your living room

{12:34} The Enhancement: sell or donate those items

{13:11} The Extra: style the space so it works best for your family

Ep 030: The Never-Ending Mail Pile

Paige Killian — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 05:30:00 -0700

No matter how organized you are, the constant inflow of mail never ends. You can count on it daily. If you aren’t staying super consistent with purging the junk mail and organizing the rest, it can quickly take over your countertops and drive you crazy!

Here are this week’s 3 E’s to keep your mail organized:

Essential: purge/shred any junk mail before it even comes into your house. Cancel any catalogues, magazines, or subscriptions you aren’t using anymore to eliminate extra mail clutter.

Enhancement: handle the mail as fast as you can! Don’t put off paying bills, RSVPing to events, filing important documents, and shredding/tossing the rest.

Extra: put paper organization bins in a place that’s convenient. Designate a place/container for gift cards/coupons, memorabilia, important documents like tax info, items in limbo, “to-be-filed” paperwork, and permanent paper storage (lock boxes, file folders). Have a space for each member of the household.

Ep 029: Your Command Center

Paige Killian — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 05:30:00 -0700

School is back in session, you have a lot on your to do list, there’s a global pandemic to work around, and you need a properly functioning Command Center!

On this episode I talk about where to set up a family-friendly area that acts as a catch-all for mail, the kids’ artwork, important papers that are in limbo until they find their permanent home, everyone’s schedule documented clearly, & even some fun photos to keep you smiling while all the STUFF finds its way into your home!

Additionally, I suggest containers that can keep your space organized that are splurge-worthy and budget-friendly. Plus, I tell you how to organize and style it so it’s working best for everyone sharing that space!

Ep 027: Choose the Right Containers

Paige Killian — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 05:30:00 -0700

Last week I shared 3 ways to invest in organization and why that’s such a good idea. This week I wanted to piggyback that idea and focus more specifically on how to choose the right containers for your space and style!

These days it’s cool to be organized and add your own personal style to your home! There are all types of containers offered at high-end retailers, online, and even your local dollar store. With all these options, how do you know which to choose that’ll work best in your space for you and your family?

On this episode I suggest 3 things to consider when making your container choices: size, style, and multipurpose options.

I remind you to always start with the essential purge when getting organized. Once you have only what you want to keep, and have sold or donated the clutter or unused items, you should measure your space (cabinet, drawer, closet) and the items you’re trying to contain so you know it’ll fit!

Next, get super real about your style. You want your containers to match your space (traditional, modern, contemporary, boho, farmhouse). That’ll help you decide on woven baskets, clear and transparent or opaque bins, plastic, acrylic, glass, labels, etc to go with the look of your home. You also want them to serve your style of organizing. If you won’t take the time to take a top off and place your item inside, opt for open storage containers or hooks on the wall.

A bonus in choosing the right container is to consider if it’ll be multifunctional and count as storage and seating, or a coffee table with storage space below, for example. Choosing neutral colors will also leave you the option of moving the bin from one space to another without being bound to a specific color or room and have longevity.

No matter what you choose, it has to work for you and your family. So the next time you’re organizing, think about these 3 things to help you choose the right containers!

Ep 026: Investing in Organization

Paige Killian — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 05:30:00 -0700

I was reflecting on what I can offer my awesome busy mom clients and loyal listeners of the podcast, as the clock struck 3am the night before I recorded this episode. While our family was grieving the loss of a good man, who spent his days loving his family and preaching God’s word, and our world is trying to figure out how to survive and thrive during a global pandemic that’s taken lives and jobs, I felt emotional and exhausted.

I know that we are all having those heavy moments, no matter how these uncertain times are affecting us. In my tearful and sleepy state I started going back over what I can do to help.

For years I’ve managed my anxiety and stress with faith, supportive friends and family, and organization. Yes, pretty much anything I can organize, I do it! And I find comfort in that. Investing my time, energy, and money into getting organized has done a world of good for me and for my family.

On this episode I share 3 ways to invest in organization. I offer lots of free, helpful resources like my Masterclass and Paige’s Top 3’s on my website, which suggests my top 3 products I use often for organizing your home, wardrobe, kids, and schedule with links for where to find them! You can also find free audios, videos, checklists, and pdfs that give you tips and keep you on track to complete your organization goals!

I also recommend my affordable online courses I put together with you and your family in mind. These courses have modules, filled with easy-to-implement strategies that create great results in 3 simple steps! (Not to mention some killer transformation before and after photos!)

Paige Killian — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 05:30:00 -0700

Things have been pretty serious these days, so I thought I’d have a little fun with this episode. Ever played the game Two Truths and a Lie in school or as an icebreaker at work?

I decided to share mine with you this week, and you may be surprised at what’s true. Of course, I couldn’t just leave it at personal stories. It had to have an organization twist. I know, you’re shocked!

Not only do I give up my two truths and a lie that get quite revealing, but I also share how I’ll be turning them into 3 truths. By now you probably know, I do everything in 3’s, and nobody likes a liar anyway!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

Ep 024: Vintage + Intentional Shopping with Carrie Diaz

Paige Killian — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 05:30:00 -0700

On this episode the very stylish and captivating business owner, Carrie Diaz, of Best Friend Central, shares her love of vintage and drive to create a physical space for community and friendship among women!

She explains her passion for “slow fashion” and how being intentional with shopping has inspired her to open a second store now in Los Angeles in the Vintage District of Burbank, CA with a curated collection of vintage pieces. She’s so committed to bringing vintage, friendship, and community to her new store that not even a global pandemic could stop her from opening her bright yellow painted doors!

Carrie and I discuss that common feeling of opening the closet door each day and wondering what to wear. While I suggest a good closet purge of items that don’t fit, aren’t being worn, or don’t light you up, she suggests ways to choose the right pieces that show off your style, and are well-tailored to your body so you feel your very best! In fact, there’s an on-site tailor at her store to help with that.

Additionally we talk about the concept of “cost per wear” when making smart shopping choices and how it’s related to “cost per use” when investing in organization bins.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{10:34} Vintage is better quality

{20:52} Confidence conversations

{30:34} Slow fashion

{35:39} Price per wear

Ep 023: Back-to-School Preparation

Paige Killian — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 05:30:00 -0700

It’s time to go back to school...or back to virtual learning. In this season of uncertainty we’re all asked to make big decisions that will work best for our families. I know this is super personal my friend!

No matter what you, the CDC, your school, or your besties are choosing, I’m here to discuss 3 things that might make it a bit of an easier transition as the new school year approaches.

In this episode I suggest 3 E’s that I’ll be sticking to in order to keep my kiddos focused on a successful learning experience and prepared for any surprise scenario that comes our way.

Here are those suggestions if you’d like to use them in your home and in your schedule this school year:

Essential: Purge (any clutter from last year or over the summer that accumulated in your home and consider what activities are necessary or can be purged from your schedule as safety restrictions prevent us from doing lots of things we were used to doing before)

Enhancement: Good Communication and Flexibility (with family, friends, co-workers, teachers, childcare providers for any new scenario this pandemic presents)

Extra: Not Over-buying or Over-indulging (in products, food, drinks, school supplies, clothes, and more so there’s less waste, less clutter and more financial responsibility during this time)

Remember your 3 E’s can be completely different than mine. Focus on what works best with your style!

Highlights from this episode:

{3:01} Applying the 3 E’s for back-to-school preparation

{4:01} The Essential: purge the closet and school supplies

{9:40} The Enhancement: communication is crucial

{13:43} The Extra: not over-buying or over-indulging

I hope that no matter what you choose (or what’s been chosen for you) that you find the blessings in our new reality. Take comfort in knowing that God has a plan, even if we can’t see it now! He’s at work here, so embrace the uncertainty and focus on finding hope and joy in this school year.

Did you know that in each of my Online Courses, the last module is called The Desires of your Heart? This module is meant to be like a warm embrace and encouragement from a friend to always continue to pursue the desires that God puts on your heart! Whether you’re organizing and styling your home, wardrobe, kids, or schedule, there are new and sometimes hidden desires that are revealed as you seek God’s plan. I share my story with you in each of these final modules and explain how the desires of my heart were completely unexpected until I surrendered my plans and got on board with God’s! I’ve learned that His plans are infinitely more rewarding than mine!

Ep 022: A Successful Yard Sale

Paige Killian — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 05:30:00 -0700

Finally, I get to dive deeper on this episode into step 2 of your 3 simple steps of getting organized, the SALE! Once you’ve done that Essential PURGE as your first step, it’s time to get a little ROI from the items you’re purging.

I delayed this episode as the health pandemic made this step a bit more difficult while we are all facing safety guidelines, including social distancing, wearing masks, and being careful when sharing items with each other. These necessary measures make a garage or yard sale a lot harder these days. However, as cities reopen businesses, schools, and allow for more human interaction, I wanted to give you my 3 steps to have a successful yard sale, should you choose to try one!

Now don’t think this is an archaic concept and only something your parents may have done in the 80s and 90s! You can get some extra cash in your pocket (or money in your Venmo or PayPal account if exchanging dollar bills is something you are avoiding) when you choose to sell the items in your home that aren’t serving you anymore.

You can do this by sticking to the 3 E’s. After you’ve done the Essential PURGE and added those items to bags with handles, it’s time to prep for your Enhancement of a SALE in 3 simple steps.

I share with you those steps in detail on this episode and also offer this helpful checklist to ensure it’s a great success!

The Successful Yard Sale Checklist

This episode and easy-to-follow list will have money in your pocket with minimal effort in 3 steps, with 3 days of prep, and only 3 hours on sale day! See? You can do that!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{1:34} The successful yard sale checklist

{9:16} Step 1: the purge

{11:10} Grouping items for sale

{17:15} Step 2: the prep

{23:46} Getting signs ready

{29:36} Step 3: the sale

Any items that aren’t sold can be donated to local charities (and get a tax write-off), consigned in-store or online, or bagged up to offer hand-me-downs to your besties! It’s a win win for everyone!

Ep 021: Moving With Kids with Tiffany Sharp

Paige Killian — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 05:30:00 -0700

My bestie is on the podcast today to talk to us about preparing for your move with your kids. She’s the total expert on this subject as she has moved just under a gazillion times in the past 8 years with her awesome family!

Last week I shared the 3 E’s to having a successfully organized move on Episode 20:

Essential: Purge before and after your move

Enhancement: Label boxes properly

Extra: Visualize your move to troubleshoot any problems that may arise

Now Tiffany shares her top 3 E’s, plus some great bonus tips when moving with kids:

Essential: Research your new city, schools, churches, activities before you move. (Use Google, Facebook groups and friends for recommendations, local MOPS groups and other organizations you love.) Along with researching, start praying with your family that God will put the right opportunities and people in your path.

Enhancement: Don’t be afraid to try more than one (or 3) different groups for you and the kiddos to find the right fit for you.

Extra: Accept any help (without feeling guilty) in those first days of your move, including movers, family, friends, babysitters and get your kids involved too in the setting up of their room right away so they feel settled in sooner.

While Tiffany moved from city to city with her growing family, she turned her photography hobby into a business. She takes the most gorgeous family photos and has even hooked me up with some awesome biz pics, including the cover art for my podcast! Thanks, Tiff!

Bonus tip: She says you can never have enough photos of your beautiful family to capture all those special memories and new adventures, especially when you move often. She also suggests that Moms should be in those pictures too. So hand your camera to someone or snap a selfie!

Ep 020: A Successfully Organized Move

Paige Killian — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 05:30:00 -0700

In this episode I discuss how to simplify and organize your move in 3 simple steps! Moving can feel so stressful and completely overwhelming. There are lots of moving parts (no pun intended) that need to be checked off your list. Breaking it down to 3 simple steps at a time can help you feel like you are accomplishing those tasks without feeling so overwhelmed.

I always like to start with an Essential purge of what’s not being used before you pack, and then plan to purge again when you start unpacking if those items aren’t going to work in your new space.

The Enhancement that will add so much value to your move is properly labelling your boxes, whether you or a moving company are packing them. I suggest some specific ways to make this as easy as possible when you are unloading boxes from the truck and unpacking them in each room. This is a crucial step in having an organized move!

Finally, I highly recommend a few Extras, like visualizing the move to troubleshoot any problems that may arise. I also give a friendly reminder to stay as positive and appreciative to everyone involved in helping you with your move, and suggest some simple ways to do this. Let’s face it, this may be a time when you have anxiety, are sleep deprived, and might easily lose your cool.

Don’t forget that this is an amazing opportunity for a fresh start! Allowing old clutter or overwhelm to take over is not in the cards. You’ve got this if you keep it simple!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{1:28} The 3 step process to help you move

{5:26} Step 1: The purge for a move

{11:58} Step 2: Properly labeling all of the boxes that you're going to be moving

{24:01} Step 3: Visualizing your move

{32:01} The importance of smiling and communication

This week Amy shares her top 3’s for a go-to snack, meal, and cocktail/mocktail that are perfect for these summer months. The cool thing about these recipes is that the ingredients are fresh and can be substituted for whatever you have on hand or seasonal faves! She recommends a fun theme night for meal inspiration and even using specific ingredients for their many health benefits, like natural digestive enzymes, low glycemic index, and those with lower calories.

I also love that Amy shares some smart practices when getting the whole family to eat healthily. She believes it’s so important to model healthy eating in front of our kiddos, using simple, fresh ingredients, and enjoying some yummy treats in moderation too!

Additionally, Amy encourages us to involve the kids in the food prep, and make the effort to sit down and have family dinner together to share in great conversation.

Ep 018: Organize That Fridge

Paige Killian — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 05:30:00 -0700

It’s time to get real about what’s actually going on in that refrigerator and freezer of yours, girlfriend! On this episode I’m going to use the 3 E’s to organize that fridge!

So often food gets lost in our refrigerator and that can lead to losing money on purchases that go bad or go missing in the far back. We don’t want that so it’s time to get organized. Get clear about what’s living there, like 100 ketchup packets or dipping sauces and questionable, unlabeled ziplock bags, and what’s actually getting eaten. This starts with a good purge and scrub down.

Donate or toss items that aren’t being consumed or being used. If those items are some containers you’ve purchased for organization in the past that just aren’t working for you, it’s time to say goodbye. Also, stop any delivery services or continuous purchases that might not be your faves anymore.

Finally, decide if you do want to add new appropriately sized containers. I share lots of my favorite bins and where to find them, like the iDesign brand, Linus bins, The Home Edit line, and others, found at places like The Container Store, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target, Amazon, Marshall’s, and more. If individual containers aren’t your style, your fridge can still stay organized by grouping like items together to display them clearly when that door opens.

Ep 017: Smart Shopping and Summer Activities with Trae Bodge

Paige Killian — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 05:30:00 -0700

My money-saving, simple activity-loving heart was bursting as I interviewed the lovely and super smart Trae Bodge! She’s the real deal!

Trae Bodge is an accomplished lifestyle journalist, TV presenter, spokesperson, and educator, specializing in beauty, tech, apps, toys, gift guides, and smart shopping. She’s been a guest on the The Rachel Ray Show, Today, Inside Edition, CNN, Reuters, CNBC.com, and so many more. She’s featured in Elle, Redbook, InStyle, and Essence, just to name a few!

On this episode Trae shares a ton of practical ideas for spending and saving money wisely for us and our kids! Not only do we talk about the best ways to do some shopping right now, she also suggests some summer activities that are both budget and kid-friendly!

Here are some of the suggestions she has:

Virtual camps

While some traditional camps are opening, virtual camps will be a huge thing this year. The American Camp Association is a great resource – you can search by category, free vs. paid and live vs. pre-recorded instruction. Options include nature, technology, arts, sports, you name it. Also, check with the groups where your kids usually go to camp, they might be offering virtual options as well.

Free online activities for kids

Google has done a great job of creating and curating online content for kids (and adults!). The Google Arts & Culture Youtube channel has countless videos to enjoy, from private museum tours to videos that focus on a specific work of art. With Google Earth Voyager (earth.Google.com), you can do everything from exploring national parks, like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite, to taking a tour around famous cities.

Other resources she likes are the free illustration tutorials from the #DrawWithDisneyAnimation series on YouTube and crafting tutorials from Michael’s.

For saving and earning money this summer and year round, Trae recommends selling gently used items that you have laying around, like old laptops, phones, and tablets.

Decluttr.com is a site that will buy those items and you can give kids a portion of the proceeds. Teens especially are great at that stuff and they’ll love the extra cash.

Acorns is the round-up/saving platform she mentions in this episode. Click there on Trae’s special affiliate link. Thanks for sharing it with us, Trae!

Additional savings tools:

Slickdeals.net & CouponCabin.com

Ep 016: Push Pause and Restart

Paige Killian — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 05:30:00 -0700

This week’s episode is all about pausing life when it gets stressful, then pushing the restart button when you’re ready. I frame it like a movie, and confess that sometimes I feel like that’s exactly what I’m living in. Life gets overwhelming sometimes, especially during a pandemic, and you may wonder if this is real life! Wouldn’t it be great to be able to fast forward to the end of this scene and restart where it gets better, more interesting, or the kids are behaving the way you actually want them to?

Even in the good times, it’s kind of nice to push pause and live in the moment a bit longer before it gets close to the end. See? I really do think of life like a movie!

So often we busy moms get so overwhelmed but keep pushing through, without asking for help, without pausing to address our own needs, and certainly without giving ourselves credit for all the things we actually are accomplishing beautifully each day.

That’s why I created a mini course that’s all about giving yourself credit for the things you are doing that never even make it on your to do list! It’s a video from a mom talk I did a couple years ago with a quick and easy workbook to fill out as you listen, so you are sure to note what you need, what you really are getting done, and how you can give yourself more credit for those things.

Don’t worry, this isn’t just one more thing to add to your to do list. I’m a busy mom too. I wouldn’t do that to you! It’s good stuff, I promise.

So checkout this link after you listen to the episode, that’ll offer you more support and tons of motivation to live your best movie life. And not to worry, if you get distracted or want to take notes, you can always push pause and restart when you’re ready!

Here are the highlights from the episode:

{1:56} How we can all relate to imperfection

{3:22} Feeling the pressure to do it all

{4:49} All about the Mini Course

{11:58} How we can’t change some things but we can change how we react to them

{12:07} How to push pause and restart

{14:37} How a little ‘good’ stress can help to motivate you

{16:07} What the Bible tells us about falling short and what we can do about it

{17:45} Clearing the clutter to see the blessings

{19:09} Keeping things simple with the 3 E’s

Here’s the Kids and Schedule Mini Course link with the video, workbook, a snack and lunch demo perfect for getting you ready for the week when the kids are back to school, and even a Q&A with some moms in the audience:

Ep 015: Running with Your Kids with Natalie Mitchell

Paige Killian — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 05:30:00 -0700

If you need a motivational boost these days like I do, you’ve got to hear my special guest, Natalie Mitchell, on this episode about introducing running as a fun, family activity! You’ll instantly feel the positive energy and joy that comes from my dear friend, mom of three, faithful believer, dream pursuer, and running athlete!

Natalie gives me hope that I can actually be more physically active with my kiddos in these summer months after a very long stint of homeschooling during lockdown. I’m thrilled to share this episode with you and trust me, you’ll be motivated to grab the kids and hit the trails!

Her passion for running has taken her to some of the most well-known marathons, writing in running magazines, speaking at events, coaching kids and adults, and encouraging us on this episode to try running with our family.

Don’t worry if becoming a runner has never been on your bucket list or thinking that you could never be any good at it, because she breaks it down so well that you’ll find yourself ready to shop for some new kicks and a good, supportive bra! Yes, that’s just some of the amazing advice she offers us as running beginners!

She also suggests making it a fun experience for the kids with lots of smiles, encouraging words, and managing expectations so it’s enjoyable for all ages in your family. Add in some thoughtful preparation like hydrating before and after your family run, some quick stretches first for injury prevention, a cool down stretch at the end, and my favorite part of all...organizing your space and schedule so your shoes, running clothes, accessories, and family calendars make a run with the kiddos a priority!

Additionally, she tells us how faith plays a big role in her passion and shares her favorite verse, Isaiah 40:31, that she repeats to herself when crossing the finish line, in running and in life, gets really hard.

I’m telling you, you’ll be smiling through the whole episode and figuring out how you can incorporate running into your family routine!

Ep 014: Simplified Summer Activities

Paige Killian — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 05:30:00 -0700

It’s a summertime like no other in 2020 after months of quarantining, homeschooling, and witnessing history in the making all over the world. With all of these changes and uncertainty, it’s so important to find moments of joy and fun. As always, I think this should be done as simply as possible.

This episode celebrates the simple pleasures of summer! You’ll hear suggestions for activities that will encourage laughter, keep you cool on those hot summer days, and won’t break the bank.

This is a summer to kick it old school! Listening to your favorite music, using unlikely items around your house to spark creativity, enjoying the great outdoors, and playing in the floor with your kiddos will make this simplified summer one for the memory books!

Ep 013: Coronavirus Helpful Hodgepodge

Paige Killian — Mon, 08 Jun 2020 05:30:00 -0700

In this episode, that was recorded about a month into the Coronavirus lockdown and before the worldwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, I discussed a range of topics that kept coming up for me as a busy mom of littles. It’s such a hodgepodge because, quite frankly, I was floundering a bit. I’m a person who thrives on a schedule and likes to prepare for the days and weeks ahead. Unfortunately, there’s so much uncertainty during this time of the pandemic, plus the social unrest that’s hurting so many people around the world right now. Despite the big changes that happened between the recording and releasing of this episode, I still believe that everything mentioned is still relevant and in some ways, more so than when I was speaking about them initially. Giving yourself and others grace, being sensitive & empathetic to those who are suffering, not putting so much pressure on yourself for productivity, continuing to simplify things so as not to become overwhelmed, sharing and celebrating your wins, finding ways to contribute and help others who are struggling, choosing your battles, and praying constantly for guidance and peace, were some of the topics that came up in this episode. Yes, I’d say those things are definitely still relevant today. My heart breaks for those hurting and my prayers seem more abundant than ever. I hope you and your family are safe and healthy and you are finding love and support during this time. Here are the episode highlights:

{5:17} The “lucky” episode

{8:43} The stress of being abundantly productive

{12:35} Finding comfort during these times from family, friends & God)

{17:34} Giving yourself grace

{21:57} Sharing your wins with people

{29:53} Ways to support the people who are helping us

{32:37} Finding educational activities

Ep 012: Temporary Home Office

Paige Killian — Mon, 01 Jun 2020 05:30:00 -0700

This episode moved to the top of my list of organization topics to tackle now, given the fact that lots of us are still quarantining (or at least social distancing). This might mean your work has now been relocated to your home, whether you have room for it or not!

Additionally, you may have a homeschooling situation you weren’t intending to have at the beginning of last school year now happening at your dining room table or in your kids' rooms. We don’t know what going back to school will look like in the fall, so establishing some separate work spaces for everyone in the family could be needed now more than ever before.

In this episode I’ll share with you some suggestions for organizing and styling each of these spaces, whether temporary or semi-permanent, in a budget-friendly, creative way. Of course getting this set up includes using the 3 E’s to keep it simple & have you seeing results fast!

I hope it inspires you to create an organized, functioning work space for you and your family.

For more in-depth assistance in getting organized in your home, wardrobe, with your kids, and in your schedule, check out these helpful online courses I created with you and your family in mind! I’ve separated them into categories that will address your specific needs quickly, easily, and in 3 simple steps!

And don’t worry, these courses aren’t more work you have to do. They are as simple as listening to this podcast, but with added photo before and after pics for inspiration, videos to watch for easy step-by-step instructions, and PDFs of helpful checklists to keep you on track if lists are your jam! I know you’ll enjoy these courses, and feel less overwhelmed when organizing and styling your life!

Paige Killian — Mon, 25 May 2020 05:30:00 -0700

Chrissy Khalil, a busy mom of littles, who runs restaurants with her husband and keeps an organized home filled with love and teamwork, still manages to make it to bible studies and helps me run the school Bake Sale! She’s a SuperMom for more reasons too.

On this episode Chrissy shares with us a powerful message of faith and what life looks like after the loss of her beautiful son, Christian. It’s appropriately airing on Memorial Day, as Chrissy and her family continue to honor the short life he had here on Earth.

Her healthy, twin, angel baby showed no signs or symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes until one Saturday when he got sick and passed away just a couple of days later.

Chrissy is committed to sharing her family’s story in hopes of helping others detect this disease by a simple urine test or finger prick, even if there’s no genetic history. She has given us some Diabetes warning signs in the link below.

I’m in awe of her faithfulness and positivity through it all! Please support my dear friend and inspirational SuperMom at her restaurant in Venice Beach, Teddy’s Red Tacos!

Diabetes Warning Signs

Please be aware of the following warning signs of Type 1 Diabetes, even if there is no genetic history, children could still be at risk. A simple urine test or finger prick can determine if you or your child has Type 1 Diabetes by checking blood sugar level. Most pediatricians do not test for the disease under 5 years old, but if you are concerned, ask for testing.

Signs and Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes:

Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Wetting the bed in a child who has previously had good nighttime bladder control
Unintended weight loss
Extreme fatigue
Sudden changes in vision
Unusual irritability
Increased appetite
A fruity odor on the breath
Heavy or labored breathing

I hope this information will help make people more aware of this disease and can make a difference in someone’s life.

Ep 010: Reclaim Your Space with Amy Pendergraft

Paige Killian — Mon, 18 May 2020 05:30:00 -0700

Is it time to reclaim your space that’s been taken over by clutter, toys, paperwork, or just extra bodies because of all this quarantining?

Well, my guest and sweet friend, Amy Pendergraft and I, talk about how we did just that. As a client of mine we got to create a restful oasis for her a couple of years ago, that actually inspired one of my favorite chapters in my book I called ‘Legos in the Bedroom.’ This definitely brought up some laughs and a relatable feeling of overwhelm that can happen when the kids’ stuff has taken over your personal space!

We also discussed how her family is making their space work well for them, while currently homeschooling and working remotely, with individual work stations and school supply baskets.

Not only did we get real about organizing her space one simple step at a time, we shared how this interesting time is calling us to recalibrate and be more patient than ever.

Amy kindly offers a timely message about patience and trusting God when things are uncertain. I needed this episode so much, and I’m sure you will find hope, encouragement, and some organization motivation here!

Be sure to checkout her new daily devotional she’s been working on as well. They are thoughtfully crafted and sure to be a hit with your family!

Ep 009: Happy Mom’s Day with Teresa Cannon

Paige Killian — Mon, 11 May 2020 05:30:00 -0700

On this very special Mom’s Day episode, I had the privilege of interviewing my Mom, Teresa Cannon. Not only did we get to reminisce about some fun memories and share life lessons we’ve both learned over the years as moms, but we also discussed some topics that many of us are facing in the wake of the health pandemic today.

Mom gives us some helpful advice about homeschooling and finding educational inspiration outside of school books. She encourages us to give ourselves grace and find the blessings in the extra time we have with our kids right now.

She also talks about how she created and organized a family business in her own backyard that was inspired by some of her favorite self-help, business books and her medical background. That story had me dreaming up ideas for a future family home-improvement business with my kids too!

This episode is packed with realness, wisdom, laughs, and constant encouragement, much like my childhood.

Keeping a tidy, organized home, not being afraid to ask for help when I need it, and following my passion while parenting has been a way of life for as long as I can remember. I’ve simply followed the example of my Mom and my Dad. Their solid work ethic, commitment to serving others, and devotion to their kids are incredibly motivational. I hope this episode motivates and inspires you as much as it did for me!

Thanks, Mom, for everything. “Love, love and all that stuff!”

To the beautiful, busy moms out there, thanks for listening and happy Mom’s Day!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:39} Introducing an exceptional guest: Teresa Cannon

{5:33} 1st Mom’s life lesson: “You don't have to know everything”

{15:49} 3rd Mom’s life lesson: “Your home is a reflection of you”

{17:53} 4th Mom’s life lesson: “Ask for help”

{20:27} 5th Mom’s life lesson: “Just relax”

Ep 008: No Such Thing As Balance with Kelly Mobeck

Paige Killian — Mon, 04 May 2020 05:30:00 -0700

If the struggle to find balance in your life ever causes you stress or anxiety, I have great news! My dear friend and business coach, Kelly Mobeck, is on this episode busting the myth that we should be striving for balance in every area of our lives. Say WHAT?!? In 2016 she blew my mind when I asked her to speak at our church’s MOPS meeting (Mother’s of Preschoolers), so I had to have her be my first podcast guest! I had heard her speak before and appreciated her directness. That day she truly changed my life! She inspired me to stop the mental struggle and allow myself some grace. In this episode she shares this concept that changed everything for me. Kelly says there’s no such thing as balance, but we should shoot for harmony! Additionally, she explains how communication, establishing agreements, and considering how other people’s ‘wins’ can contribute to this harmony. I’m telling you, this is a MUST LISTEN for the busy mom, who is ready to push past ‘mom guilt’ and create a life of more peace and less struggle. You’ll find that her words are compassionate, supportive, and motivational in getting you to take the lead in your life! For more outstanding coaching and words of wisdom checkout her newly launched podcast ‘Let’s Be Honest Before We Start Pretending!’ on iTunes, Spotify, and her website www.kellyjmobeck.com

You can connect with her through email at Kelly@KellyJMobeck.com or on Instagram @coach_kellymobeck. Enjoy this special crossover episode that is also on Kelly’s new podcast as Episode 2.

Ep 007: The Essential Purge

Ep 006: Maximize Your Vertical Space

Paige Killian — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 05:30:00 -0700

On this episode I discuss ways you can organize a small space, display your items that are both useful and sentimental, and make the most of an unused wall.

All of these tasks can be accomplished by learning to maximize your vertical space!

Whether you are reimagining a linen closet, sharing a space and must consolidate, or needing to mount a hat collection or sports gear, I've got a solution! From floating shelves to gallery walls, Command hooks to canvas mounts, permanent built-ins to customizeable FastTrack systems, you'll feel more prepared to create the vertical organization that fits your style.

Find these options in-store or online at Target, The Container Store, Home Depot, Walmart, Michaels, Marshalls, Amazon, Etsy, and other hardware or craft stores.

I'd love to see how you've designed your vertical space, so send me photos or tag me @everythingwithstylemom in your social posts so I can celebrate your organization wins with you!

Ep 005: Hashtag Pantry Goals

Paige Killian — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 07:00:00 -0700

In this episode I’m discussing how you can use those 3 E’s to organize and style a pantry that’s both functional and beautiful! As always, purging the clutter is ESSENTIAL! I’ll suggest what to get rid of or “debox.”

Next, ENHANCE your pantry organization by selling or donating any unused items you’ve pulled from this space.

And finally, the EXTRA boost your pantry might be missing is styling it with the proper containers that’ll work best for everyone in your family. I’ll recommend my favorite organizers from divided lazy Susan’s (sorry Susan!), canned food shelves, baskets or bins that fit your personal style, and more. Implementing the 3 E’s in one of the busiest areas of your home will keep you from wasting food and money, being ill prepared when it’s time to grocery shop or meal prep, and causing a disastrous accident if your little ones try to reach something that’s inappropriately placed! You certainly don’t want that to happen. So if you’re tired of hunting for ingredients in the far back corner where your food goes to die, maybe it’s time you tackled this space. And who knows? By the end of this week, you could be staring at a beautifully organized cupboard and posting pics to social media, where everyone will be commenting #pantrygoals!

Ep 004: The Unjunky Junk Drawer

Paige Killian — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 06:00:00 -0700

What does the multitasking SuperMom need at a moment’s notice to be prepared for anything in her home? A fully functioning junk drawer! This is basically the equivalent of a Mary Poppins carpetbag of tricks, but the only way this junk drawer works best is if it’s “unjunky.” Yes, that’s a word! On this episode, you’ll hear my advice on how to keep your junk drawer organized, what to keep in it or be kept elsewhere, and which room in your house it will probably serve you best. From pens to tape, bandaids to batteries, spare keys to personalized name tags, and everything in between, we’ll make sure that unjunky junk drawer is earning you some major cool mom points the next time someone shouts, “Hey, Mom, I need a ...!”

Ep. 002: The Cost of Disorganization

Paige Killian — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 09:57:51 -0700

With only the best of intentions, I’m discussing a sensitive subject on this episode. When we are shouldering lots of responsibility from caring for our kids, supporting a spouse or family member, additionally working outside the home, or trying to juggle the social and spiritual parts of our lives, even the most organized mom can let things fall through the cracks. Just like the dentist pushes on those cavities so we can feel the pain points and know for certain that they need some extra attention, I’m going to press in on some potential areas that might need some work too. It turns out these sensitive spots could be costing you. Have you ever noticed that you incur late fees on bills because you’ve misplaced them or they got lost under a mountain of mail piles? That can lead to guilt, unnecessary stress, and even arguments about money management. What about a lack of prioritizing things in your schedule or failing to properly set up your space so that getting out the door on time doesn’t have to be such a struggle? Are you letting your family, friends, or coworkers down because you can’t seem to get organized or stay that way for long? There’s definitely a cost of disorganization, but it doesn’t have to be that way anymore! Living a life we want to be living sounds amazing, so let’s find ways right now to make that possible! If getting organized has been on your to do list for a while now, it’s time to make it happen. A great first step to getting there is asking for help. Talk to your spouse, your kids, a therapist, your pastor...or your pastor’s wife. Get a coach, or a trainer, or an organizer! Don’t try to do everything alone. Just because we can do it all, doesn’t mean we have to. Let’s clear the clutter to see the blessings God has for us.

Ep. 001: The 3 E's Philosophy

Paige Killian — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 09:49:40 -0700

Organizing and styling your space can be as easy as 1, 2, 3! Yes, that’s my former Kindergarten teacher talk coming out, but it’s also exactly how I plan to explain my 3 E's Philosophy in this first episode. After teaching those adorable four and five year olds, and parenting littles of my own for many years, I found that 3 simple steps were enough to keep them focused on the task at hand, but not be too overwhelming for them. As adults we are certainly better at multitasking and can handle more steps than that, however, who has the time or patience for that these days?!? We are BUSY! 3 simple steps seems to be the sweet spot for my clients and my family, so The 3 E’s Philosophy was born. This includes your Essentials, Enhancements, and Extras and is laid out as a beginning, middle, and end to the organization process. In this episode, I’ll discuss what each step is and my suggestion for using this 3-part strategy for getting organized and styling your home.

Here is the link to my '3 E's Checklist' for you to download.

In this episode of The Mom's Organization Motivation Podcast I decided to have a little fun! You learn a bit about me, Paige Killian, mom, professional organizer, motivation speaker, and sometimes ridiculously animated, southern, theatre girl. I'm passionate about helping busy moms of littles organize and style their life in 3 simple steps, so it works best for their style.

Getting organized isn't always something we see as easy, fun and rewarding. Often it feels frustrating, stressful, and too overwhelming to even start!

Well, that doesn't have to be your reality. The organization process doesn't have to be a daunting or insurmountable one, no matter how stuffed your drawers are, how many piles of mail you have on your countertops, Legos you have on your floor, or kids' artwork you have scattered throughout the house. It is possible to simplify the process and clear the clutter to see the blessings God has for us!

We're in this together, so join me each week for a healthy dose of organization and a whole lot of motivation!
