My thoughts on Get Organized with The Home Edit: My thoughts on Get Organized with The Home Edit: I loved it. Not everyone loves watching this sort of reality television, but based on their Netflix rankings since the series launched two weeks ago, almost everyone does. I had never heard of Joanna and Clea before the show and I love their chemistry, the mix of celebrities and “regular” clients and their whole “brand” in general. I do think it’s important to note that the first steps of their process (editing, categorizing) are just as important as the aesthetics: putting every item of clothing you own in rainbow order is much more satisfying when you’ve purged half your collection first. (Gretchen Rubin, one of my favourite authors who wrote Outer Order, Inner Calm would agree that a rookie organizational error is going out to purchase all your storage and containers before you actually edit.) The Home Edit style of organization is indeed heavy on the aesthetics (decanting all of your pantry items is not actually efficient) but leads to great TV and book photography. Speaking of their books, my local library had the first one on the shelf (which I promptly borrowed) and the new one on order (I’m first in line) and both are on the New York Times bestseller list this week. (Yes, the brand new one and the two year old book - thank you Netflix.) While they’re preaching to the choir with me with most of the text, the photos are gorgeous. The show inspired me to take my already “organized” main bath closet to the next level with matching bins (10 for $20 at Canadian Tire), and I also picked up my first The Home Edit products (some medium and small clear containers) to organize the vanity drawer where I keep my makeup and beauty products. I learned my lesson about “underbuying” (also a Gretchen Rubin term) when I went back for one more small container and the entire collection was pretty much sold out! I wonder if the show would have had the same impact outside of the pandemic (stuck at home so much more, people are thinking about home organization and improvement, plus looking for fun TV) but Marie Kondo’s show was a huge hit pre-COVID too. Maybe we’re all just looking to lighten up, in more than one way.
A look at my new @andotherstories dress from @your A look at my new @andotherstories dress from @yourroyalcloset! The other Kate has the same print in a long version. I wore mine this morning for a TV segment, then added leggings and a jean jacket for school (the dress would have been fine alone but I would have been too cold outside with our kinders!) #replikate #tvstyle #alwayscold
Today on @morningshowca (before I dashed off to sc Today on @morningshowca (before I dashed off to school) I chatted with @carolynglobal and @jmacspeaks about the realities of physical distancing at school, how little ones are doing with safety protocols, how to keep your child on track if they’re home ill and whether teachers are ready to pivot to online learning again! Full video at link in bio.
New episode - an interview with @cladwellapp cofou New episode - an interview with @cladwellapp cofounder and CEO @byerinflynn – I have the Cladwell personal styling app and use it all the time! We discuss purging closets (she took hers from 450 items to 75!), shopping intentionally (and how “planned obsolescence” and “perceived obsolescence” keep us buying more), the impact of COVID-19 on business, how to make the most of Cladwell and more! Also in this episode I recommend two controversial books that I enjoyed (and delve into some of the controversy), plus I run through my 20 for 2020 goals (with credit to Gretchen Rubin) and give an update on the progress – which is actually better than you’d think during a pandemic! Thanks to this episode’s sponsor, @minimalist_moms_ . If you live in Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough or Durham and have a child under 6 you really should check out their monthly toy lending subscription kits – save money, reduce clutter, help the environment and keep your child interested in their toys!

First day(s) of school - Grade 9 and Grade 7! It w First day(s) of school - Grade 9 and Grade 7! It was such a joy to hear about Liv’s day last night, and I can’t wait for Eva’s update tonight. Since our school cohorts aren’t mixing I will see less of her than ever. It’s also refreshing to have a Friday that really feels like a Friday - I am a lover of routine and I’m happy to no longer feel like the days all blend together!

After almost six months of, let’s just call it “togetherness”, tomorrow we go our separate ways and return to school. Well, I return. Though I was actually back last week. And my husband started several weeks ago. The girls don’t go tomorrow; they each have a different start date...so the “first day of school” photo ops will be different this year too...just like everything else. Are we ready? Speaking for myself, I am so ready for routine and a reason to wear makeup (not 💄 of course - 😷), I look forward to asking the girls about their days because I haven’t already witnessed every moment of them, and of course I have missed the joy of spending each day with little munchkins. Our classroom is almost set, we have a tentative plan for how to schedule our day and we will see how this all unfolds. And how much hand cream is required when you wash your hands 267 times a day. We’ve got this, right @saryoung99? 📸 by @charlotteoliverphotography
In a brand new episode of This Mom Loves: @melissa In a brand new episode of This Mom Loves: @melissagrelo from @thesocialctv and @marqdesigns! No topic was off-limits as we discussed filming the show from home, the post-COVID future of TV, her experience as a woman of colour, anti-racism allyship (genuine vs performative), why she left her teaching career for television, what's coming next for her gender-neutral kids' clothing line, how The Social has changed over seven seasons, her pandemic puppy...and more! (Link in bio) Also in this episode: I recommend three great nonfiction reads (in honour of Melissa's love for nonfiction) and share three important tips for parents as kids and staff head back to school in one form or another. Thanks to my fabulous sponsor @couturecandy.ptbo (I have personal experience with this business and highly recommend their beautiful and delicious candy boxes and candygrams.)

Some of their favourite memories: *when Eva’s lawn chair tipped backwards and she fell off and a customer thought she did it on purpose as entertainment *when @mattusis1 bought two drinks and gave them $20 *when their uncles baling hay in the field behind them (in 40 degree heat) came over and downed most of their stock (the IOUs were eventually honoured) *when a police officer stopped for a drink and they were afraid they were going to get in trouble *when they got a lovely letter from the Ross Memorial Hospital thanking them for donating half their profits In the latest episode of the podcast (link in bio) I talk about the kids and money philosophy and practices at our house!
