How in the world can I de-clutter a house with five kids in it? I need some purging tips and organizing advice! -Mama25boys
Help your kids develop good clutter-busting and organizing habits early. It will help you maintain an organized home now and serve your kids well as they grow into productive adults.

But before you rush out to buy a brain-enhancing product, consider another (free) alternative: instilling a good habit or routine.

There are many reasons why a good habit is a better bet than that fancy flash-card system.

How can I dress well for the size I'm at now and not have to buy a whole new wardrobe if my weight goes up or down?
Read on for tips on how to make your existing wardrobe work and ideas for pieces that can help you through transitions.

There are many reasons why we might wear clothes that don't fit or look the greatest on us. Maybe there's been a recent addition to your family -- accompanied by nine months of weight gain and weight loss -- or maybe the stress of life has got you lingering above or below your normal weight.  Perhaps you've been consciously trying to lose weight. Illness might have caused unexpected weight gain or loss. Or, for some of us, it's been a case of holding on to dreams of another time in our lives and not accepting the size we are now.

I often use my blog as a platform for stress relief and as a place where I can release negative thoughts. In other words, my blog is most commonly used to channel my negative energy. How can I use my blog to gain positive energy instead?
Channeling positive energy through blogging, writing or journaling can be as simple as stimulating your senses, replacing negative words such as "try" with positive words such as "will," or even sharing your experience with others. Of course, this is just a starting point. Read on to find more tips on how to blog your way to happiness.

Everyone in the BlogHer community enjoys the written method of expression.

You enjoy a good cry when you read a touching a story, you get mad when you hear about injustice, you feel compassion when you read about hard times, and you feel joy when you read about celebration and success.

When you are the writer, you invoke a feeling in yourself that allows the reader to embrace the emotion you are experiencing as you type your way to self-expression.

My closet is filled with black, black and more black (don't get me wrong, this is great for those cold winter months), but now that we are entering spring I would love to branch out and experiment with wearing a bit more color. Where do I begin?
Incorporating color into your wardrobe can be as minimal as adding a brightly colored accessory to your outfit, such as throwing on a colored scarf or bracelet. Or, if you dare to go bolder, change up the color of your eyeshadow or sport an animal print T-shirt under a neutral sweater. The possibilities are endless! Read on for more ways to incorporate the colors of spring into your wardrobe.

The seasons of pure hue bliss have arrived -- spring and summer! Everyone's wearing color, bursting into patterns and just being free with their style. When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Please don't start off with the "I don't look good in color" jabber. Here are some ways to ease your way in.
