	08 Apr 2018	Photos	00:27:53
Photos! In our generation alone, we have had slides, Polaroids, Film with negatives, Digital cameras, phone camera (and this isn't even touching Super 8's & videos!) so we know the task of decluttering and organising your photos can be overwhelming so this week we bring your some tips and tricks. Big shout out to Kate Haines for this topic idea and to Meggan Gasciogne for the Facebook review! We hope you enjoy it! Here are some questions to ask yourself: Can you name anyone in the photo? Do you remember where that scenery is? How many photos do I need to remember this moment? Do I want to remember this moment? Do I want to remember this person? Is this a really unflattering photo of me? (a note of caution though: You are keeping photos for future generations, not just yourself. So will your kids wish they had more photos of you in those embarrassing teenage years, even if you don’t) How can I give honour to this photo? Is this a duplicate (or triplicate) of a photo? We always recommend decluttering first before you organise your photos! Curious Freedom can help you to declutter and there is www.thefilingfairies.com.au & https://simplyinorder.com.au/ who specialise in helping you sort out your photos!

	12 May 2019	Containers	00:27:39
This week we chat about containers! We know so many of you love to dream of and buy containers to store all your things, so we wanted to discuss why containers are not the solution to all of your problems. Just by getting the correct container, you will not magically fix your clutter issue. We always recommend decluttering first and organising second; never organise what you can discard. The great thing about containers is that by storing items correctly, you can keep them in good condition, and it’s easy to find what you are looking for when you need something quickly. We firmly believe that if storage isn’t purposeful, functional and utilised, it does not add value to you or your home. This episode highlights Kirsty & Amy's differences and preferences regarding repurposing containers and labels. We give you tips on what to consider when deciding what type of containers you need around your home. As always, we hope you have a giggle (especially when we talk about Romper Room!) with us and enjoy the conversation! Thanks for the iTunes review, Mintyminx!

We also asked you if you had a vision for your home and your home life for 2018. We loved providing you with questions to ask yourself and encouragement to set a beautiful vision for 2018 and how to work magic into the gap between your current reality and the vision you have created. Here is another episode where you can laugh at and with Kirsty and Amy, where they share their tips for creating a vision for your home and your home life. We hope you enjoy it!

	01 Dec 2019	Secrets of Professional Organisers	00:39:27
This December we wanted to again practice what we preach and have some white space in our lead ups to Christmas this year. We decided to showcase some of the podcast where we have been the guests! In 2017 we recorded 5 episodes around Christmas themes, Schedules, Decorations, Gifts and Wrapping, Christmas Functions and Christmas holidays and we repeated these again last year so if you are wanting some tips and tricks for the Christmas season have a listen to episode 22 through to 26, we will link to them in the show notes. This week we are giving you an episode of Slow Your Home Podcast, one of our favourite podcast! In this episode Brooke interviews Kirsty, just a few months after we started our own podcast. We love Brooke so much that we had her on to celebrate our 100th episode so make sure you go and listen to episode 100 & 101 as well (we will give you a link to those too in the show notes). Kirsty shares with Brooke the misconception of decluttering being the solution to every problem when really it’s often just one of the steps in creating an intentional life. She shares her history of being a messaholic and how practising grace with yourself will help you to declutter. Brooke described it as ‘big, honest and vulnerable chat that definitely peels back a couple of onion layers around decluttering and professional organising’. We know so many of our listeners have come to this podcast via Slow Your Home, so we hope you enjoy this conversation again with Brooke McAlary!
