Happy January!
I'm pretty excited this January. For the last 4 months I have done some major purging and reorganizing at my home, so I am starting the year off fresh and free of clutter.
The feeling is great, but it was a lot of work, so this year my goal is to stay organized, and only buy what I need or love. This sounds simple, but I am one of those people who will go to the grocery store and peruse each aisle and try something new, so I know restraint will be the word of the year.
Have a garden? Now is the time to prune back rose bushes and hydrangeas, allowing them to rest, which can stimulate new growth. Pruning has also been known to increase the size of the flowers. I like to spray my shrubs with neem oil, a natural way to reduce pests in your plants.
