This giveaway has ended. Winners will be announced on December 12th!
I‘m writing today because of a beautiful package that arrived on my doorstep recently. It’s Organized Simplicity: The Clutter-Free Approach to Intentional Living by my friend Tsh Oxenreider.
I first heard the name Tsh Oxenreider when I had been writing over at my blog Steady Mom for a couple of months. Not having a single clue about how to grow my blog, I purchased audio transcripts from a blogging conference called Blissdom. Tsh was one of the speakers.
After listening, I spent some time exploring Tsh’s blog, Simple Mom. It seemed amazing to me, but I also thought it was similar to the blog I hoped to create. I remember telling my husband Steve, “Is there really a need for another blog about motherhood when she has one that is so huge?”
Steve–ever the wise, prophetic soul, said, “Don’t think of her as competition. Think of her as an ally.”
Now, because of the magic of the blogosphere, Tsh and I work together here at Simple Living Media. She is the real deal and I’m thankful to call her “boss.” (Well, I don’t really call her that, but you know what I mean!)
Organized Simplicity is beautiful, inspiring, and every page conveys Tsh’s heart for families to find the definition of simple living that works for them. (In other words, you don’t have to feel guilty if you have a washing machine!!)
I love it and think it belongs in your personal library. I know I’ll be referring to my copy again and again.

My biggest organizational challenge at the moment is my homeschool stuff. The things for the kids are organized. But the articles I’ve printed for reading, the things I need to do planning, my manuals…..all are in a constant state of disarray. It’s frustrating!
I already subscribe in my Google feed reader and enjoy every post.
The clutter of kids’ papers, my magazines, and the mail.
I’m already subscribed to your feed– and enjoy it. Thanks!
I’m following you and simplemom and I retweeted your giveaway! 🙂
I really struggle with space issues at our new house- it’s only 1000 square feet (which is a mansion in most of the world, I know…). Stuff piles up so fast! Especially by the door… I could use some help!
Art, craft, and sewing supplies overwhelm our very small home!
My biggest organizational challenges are keeping motivated to keep up on everything and having a minimal but sufficient amount of stuff in our small home.
I subscribe to your blog in my reader!
my biggest challenge is paperwork – bills, school stuff, things to file away – it sits in piles and just glares at me begging to be organized.
My biggest challenge right now is my basement. It’s a bit of a nightmare right now. Would love this book!

Right now, I’m trying to fit 2 kids in one tiny room. I keep giving things away, organizing, moving…and it’s still a huge mess! HELP!!!!

My biggest organizational challenge is paper clutter, both homeschool and otherwise. If I file something away I forget about it, if I don’t. . .well, the piles are a problem.
I am a happy subscriber via Google reader.
I thought I already followed you on Twitter, but it looks like not. Thanks for the reminder. I’m following both now!
Paper, paper, paper!
My biggest challenge is managing the paperwork: homeschooling papers, financial paperwork, other activities and action items (all with paperwork!). It’s hard to know what to keep, what to file, and what to keep in sight so I don’t forget to do something with it! Help!
Everything! We move to a different country on April and in to our new home on September. I still have boxes around, I still have to many things, and I’m so tired to see my house like this. I really wish I could found some balance.
The clutter, it goes from one place to another. Kitchen counter to the living room to the office …. same clutter!!

My biggest challenge is our bedroom- things get shoved away in there, to hide them from the kids, etc….and never taken care of!
My biggest challenge right now is keeping books and toys organized in a fashion that I like and that my kids will follow. Sigh.
