As summertime comes to a close and the fall and eventual holiday season looms on the horizon, an opportune time to declutter the home presents itself. Taking advantage of the remaining, more laid-back summer days to tackle the overabundance filling the homefront is a project that will reap dividends through the end of the calendar year and beyond.

Before the kids go back to school or your family embarks on a new homeschool year; before the family holiday gatherings ramp up; before the Christmas decor comes out; before the inevitable influx of stuff arrives—now is the time to assess your space, rid your home of the items that no longer serve you, and reset your environment for the fourth quarter.
