Last year a friend confessed to me that for Mother’s Day she asked her husband and children for a half day spent organizing their basement.   She said it was the best Mother’s Day gift ever – they all worked together, they made decisions on what to keep and what to donate, and, best of all, they cleared the space for family activities yet to come.   So, as Mother’s Day approaches, think about some non-clutter or organizing gifts you can give to make Mom very happy…

~A family organizing day (if possible, pick one room or area to focus on)

~Home made coupons for organizing or tidying an area of the home

~A gift certificate for a professional organizer

~A gift certificate for a house cleaner, laundry, or dry cleaning service

~A few hours of free time for Mom to organize her electronic mail

~A family yard clean up day
