The holidays are just around the corner!
I love this time of year. The holidays are just around the corner! Family, friends, gatherings and loads of fun, but it can turn into a frenzy of errands, shopping, activities and a general panic about too much to do!!

Are you downsizing to a smaller home, moving to a retirement community or simply overwhelmed by all your stuff?
