It all starts with a clean desk

While not the best example of a clean desk, here is a picture of me working at a clean surface. Ahh, those were the days. Today, my desk holds my computer screen, three wooden Ikea desk organizers filled with crucial items, and the clutter that accumulates during a week of inattention.

My goal is to clean my desk once a week, and when I do, life seems much more ordered. As I work from home, I am able to be more focused and decidedly more productive with a clean desk. There's nothing like a clean work surface to motivate you when you need inspiration.

Welcome to My Simple Home!

Many of us long for simplicity in our lives and in our surroundings. For those of us who are stay at home wives and stay at home mothers, simplicity in our homes is especially important as we spend so much time in them.

Part of the reason I started this blog is to motivate myself to simplify my own home in the areas where it needs some inspiration. To that end, and to encourage others, I welcome your comments, ideas, links and contributions. Please email me if there's a topic you'd like to see covered here.

Enjoy My Simple Home -- and yours, too.
