🌿 Family Room Refresh Ideas
Nº 20 – October 14, 2025 Sponsored by The Deep View Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. As the season shifts, I’ve found myself noticing our family room more. This is the space where we gather, unwind, and live most fully. It’s where we have conversations after dinner, watch our favorite TV shows, and where quiet moments settle in at the end of the day next to our precious cat. For...

Read on the web ↗ 10 Things for Time, Space & Spirit By Flavia Andrews There’s peace in doing the same small things over and over.

🌿 Remove the Resistance
Nº 19 – October 7, 2025 Sponsored by HubSpot Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. Sometimes, what makes life feel heavy isn’t the big things—it’s the small frictions that add up. The drawer that sticks. The cluttered counter that makes wiping it down a chore. The extra step in your morning routine that steals two minutes you don’t have. When we reduce friction, we create flow. Tasks stop...

🩵 Quiet Offerings
Read on the web ↗ Quiet Offerings By Flavia Andrews Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to give—of our time, our energy, our attention. Not in the grand gestures, but in the quiet, ordinary moments that fill our days. Maybe it’s because this week felt like a mix of peace and noise. Moments of stillness I didn’t want to end, and moments of overwhelm I couldn’t wait to escape. Somewhere in between, I started to notice how much life mirrors our faith: it’s the small, faithful...
🌿 5 Simple Decluttering Tips
Nº 18 – September 30, 2025 Sponsored by Morning Brew Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh.

And the truth is—that’s normal. On those days, it helps to lower the bar—to find resets that are doable, not...

🩵 5 Things That Matter
Read on the web ↗ 5 Things That Matter By Flavia Andrews We just spent a long-overdue four-day weekend at a small beach resort close to home. Just an hour and a half away, yet it felt like another world—quiet, unhurried, full of the calmness and sea air. It was a long weekend for family, for disconnection, and for reset. I caught up on Things That Matter by Joshua Becker, a book that’s been echoing what I’ve been feeling for years now. This wasn’t a luxury vacation, but it was enough to fill...
🌿 5 Steps to Freedom from Clutter
Nº 17 – September 23, 2025 Sponsored by Superhuman Hi Reader, Welcome to this week’s edition of The Neat Reset — a gentle pause in your week to tidy your space, quiet your mind, and start fresh. Lately I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to accumulate duplicates at home. An extra spatula, another set of sheets, three bottles of the same cleaner. These extras often feel harmless, even helpful—but over time they crowd our shelves, drain our energy, and add to the decision fatigue we already...

🩵 What I Keep, What I Let Go
Read on the web ↗ What I Keep, What I Let Go By Flavia Andrews In my ongoing attempt to live with less noise and more clarity, I’ve been paying attention to what I bring into my home. Some things used to feel like must-haves—because they were trendy, or because I thought they solved a problem. But over time, I’ve learned that fewer, simpler choices often serve me better. These swaps may seem small, but together they’ve brought ease, space, and a little more peace to my days. 1. Dryer Balls I...

🩵 The Balance of One for One
Read on the web ↗ The Balance of One for One By Flavia Andrews Clutter rarely arrives in one loud moment. It creeps in quietly. A sweater on sale, a candle that smells like comfort, a mug too cute to leave behind. Seasonal décor taught me this more than anything else. Each fall, I would pull out bin after bin of faux pumpkins, layering my entertainment center until every shelf was crowded. At first, it felt festive. Over time, it felt heavy. That’s why today, I hold close to the principle of...
