How Much Lining Does an Empty Nest Need? and Other Good Questions - The Clutter Fairy Weekly #207

An audience member asked, “How much should you keep for your ‘little birdies’ while they’re testing their wings?” There are difficult decisions and challenges to face as you transition from a full house to an empty nest. In episode #207 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses not-quite-empty nests, Earth Day organizing, and other questions and short topics suggested by our viewers and listeners.
