How To Find Your Sofa Under All That Laundry

October 15, 2020 By Bekki Leave a Comment This content may contain affiliate links.

She turned and asked the salesman, “so how many loads can this baby handle?”

Table of Contents (Because we all skim—no shame here.) Peek Inside
1 Unless your name is Karen, you likely are a lot like me.
2 Don’t neglect this opportunity!
3 Why is it only a few dollars?

“Um. Ma’am, that’s a sofa…”

She doesn’t blink, “looks like 6 loads, maybe 7. I’ll take it!”

Unless your name is Karen, you likely are a lot like me.

🙈 Sofa typically has a pile of laundry (or 12) ready to be folded.


🙉 Kitchen counter is covered in paint, an incomplete science project, and a few cardboard boxes.


🙊 Drawers are filled with an assortment of 42 things you haven’t thrown away yet that TANGLE and TRAP the drawer from sliding open so you can access the pen you need right at this moment.

If you are in this club, raise your hand…

I have something to help us.

I don’t know about your house, but mine has basically fallen apart since COVID lockdowns.

Although I am NOT a super organized and tight ship gal, I typically keep my home pretty tidy. You too?

But now we need help getting it back under control.

If you’re nodding your head and saying, “Bekki… ME TOO!”

I’m gonna encourage you to do something scary.

Take a sober look around and ask your self these questions.

  • Do I have any cluttered areas that are causing me stress, frustration, or anxiety?
  • Do I need HELP to get the areas under control?
  • Would you be willing to attack ONE small space a day, in less than 30 minute chunks?
  • Are you willing to play “follow the leader” with someone who has NINJA skills at organizing?

Nope. It’s not me.

I need this challenge as much as the next non-Karen gal.

Don’t neglect this opportunity!

We have the ability to find our sofas and kitchen counters BEFORE the holidays bury us in trimming and decor.

Sure, you can build Christmas trees from laundry, but there really is a better way.

PS- It’s worth it.

Why is it only a few dollars?

  • Free challenges and classes get neglected, so a few bucks gives us extra motivation.
  • Sarah, my Ninja friend, is a single mom and knows how tight a budget can be… so she keeps her challenges within reach


If you Join me, I have a $10 incentive/gift for you!

Consider it a bribe.
When we visit each other’s homes I want us to be able to sit on the sofa:).
