At my stage of life, decluttering is easier—it’s just me, my husband, and our two pups. But for young moms? Between kids, schoolwork, jobs, and never-ending laundry, the idea of decluttering can feel impossible. In this episode, I’m talking about the biggest things that hold moms back from getting started—like overwhelm, guilt, and perfectionism—and simple ways to break through them. Decluttering won’t make your life perfect, but it will make it more manageable, save money, free up time, and help you enjoy your kids before they’re grown.

Welcome to Oma’s Musings—a cozy space where life slows down, faith runs deep, and the clutter (both physical and emotional) begins to clear. I’m Kathy—wife, mom, Oma, and now navigating this beautifully messy season of retirement.

Whether you're downsizing, caregiving, organizing your home, growing in faith, or simply craving a little peace, you're in the right place. Around here, we keep things simple, soulful, and real.
