It's the first week of June, and with my college freshman home for the summer, I'm definitely facing the challenge of decluttering! I recently tackled my son Alex's overflowing room after moving him home from the dorm (barely fitting all his stuff in our SUV), a task that immediately brought back memories of my most popular episode with professional organizer Melina Kane.

In this timely replay, originally aired in January 2025, Melina shares invaluable insights and practical tips for organizing your space. While my basement clean-out is still a work in progress (a relatable struggle, I'm sure!), I'm making headway with Alex's room, including letting go of childhood treasures like the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series.

Melina's advice on creating a "joy day" really stands out to me—it's not just about boxing up memories, but about regularly taking out those special items to touch, hold, and enjoy. With my own children's birthdays approaching in July, August, and September, I'm planning to bring out their childhood keepsake boxes to celebrate those mementos.

Tune in for a fun, tactical, and meaningful discussion that I hope will inspire you to tackle your own organizing projects!
