Have a wonderful and safe holiday!
Author Christina Clancy is joining us for Badger Book Club! Please join us if you've read Shoulder Season and are interested in discussing the book with the group and the author.
Christina Clancy is the author of The Second Home, and Shoulder Season.
Join Trista, a certified professional organizer in Marie Kondo's KonMari Method, for a lesson on how to turn your home from a place of clutter and stress to one of joy and ease.
We will discuss the basics of the KonMari Method, which include tidying by category rather than room, and choosing the items that stay in the home based on feelings of joy and intention rather than guilt or fear.
By the end of the process, the goal is to live in a home surrounded by items that only bring you happiness, and releasing items that have outlived their purpose with gratitude.
