A year subscription to my favorite magazine,
Real Simple.

I LOVE REal Simple. Everyone who knows me, online and in real life, knows that I am all about clearing the clutter and organizing.

It's sorta weird, but a good closet purge, or playroom pare-down coupled with a trip to Goodwill to donate or the local kids consignment store to sell makes me giddy!

Can't you just feel the lightness and freedom?! ;)
