What We’re Into this Week Vol. 5

Posted on February 8, 2019May 23, 2019 by The Basic Moms

What we’re reading… Decluttering at the Speed of Life by Dana K. White. You may be into this whole KonMari wave, but you might also be a slob, like me. This book just clicks because it was written for slobs as opposed to people who love to clean. It’s like watered down KonMari for the…

Posted on January 5, 2018June 20, 2019 by The Basic Moms
