I've said it many times before, I am not perfect. This is a journey... and we're in it together. Simplicity isn't just about having your home organized, it's also about mindsets and habits.
On today's episode, I share with you one small change that I recently made (by accident) that has made a huge impact in my life. Ironically, it has to do with a piece of advice I shared on the show a long ago, yet never did myself.

If you don't already know, on my website there is an "Ask CarlaRae" page. I always have a link to it on the bottom of my show notes for every episode, which is CarlaRaeArneson.com/AskCarlaRae.
I love receiving messages from our listeners! Usually I get organizing questions, suggestions for topic ideas that people are interested in hearing about on the show, and sometimes I get random messages of people just wanting to just say hello, which I REALLY love.
I am the only person who reads or listens to these messages, they do not go to a virtual assistant or customer service tech. They go straight to me. And I always try to reply within a day or two depending on if we're traveling or not.
Every once in a while I feature some of those questions I receive on the show, with permission from the sender, of course.
On today's episode I share with you a very unique question I received from one of listeners.

What is meal planning? Well, meal planning is asking the question "what's for dinner" once for the whole week, instead of asking it every night. You then go shopping for and sometimes even prep the ingredients ahead of time.
I'm just going to be honest with you. I have a love-hate relationship with meal planning.
We've all heard it before, planning out meals for the week helps to save money. It can help save time by cutting down on extra trips to the grocery store. And the biggest benefit is that it eliminates the 5 o'clock scramble to figure out what's for dinner, which is never fun to do at the end of the day when you're tired and hungry.
But if there are so many benefits to meal planning, why do most people, including myself, dread doing it?!?
On today's episode I share with you some very practical tips and simple techniques that I've learned over the years that has helped even the most resistant of my clients.

Samantha, one of our listener's, recently sent me a message, "I just moved into a very small old house and it seems the only storage spot is in the cellar. I'm really nervous about moisture. Do you happen to have any storage tips?"
Yes, since I live in Seattle (where it tends to be wet most of the year) I've encountered this question many times before from a handful of clients. And I definitely have some thoughts for you when it comes to using cellars or basements for storage.
