Declutter Like A Mother by Allie Casazza Book Review

Successful business entrepreneur Allie Casazza shares her powerful and proven method for clearing the clutter in our minds by first clearing the clutter in our homes, the place where transformation begins.

When Allie Casazza first became a mom, she found herself struggling to make it through each day. She battled fatigue, depression, and the unsettling feeling that she didn't have what it took to do "this mom thing" well. When she realized the root of her burden was the overwhelm of physical clutter, she got intentional about what took up her space and time. The path she carved brought her and her family greater contentment and more abundant living, and she shares it in her much-anticipated first book, Declutter Like a Mother.

In her winsome, relatable style, Casazza has built a massive following--and a multimillion-dollar online business--based on her proven, family-oriented approach to living more simply. Her mission is to empower other moms to start making real, lasting change. Combining humor and a lighthearted kick-in-the-pants, Declutter Like a Mother will motivate readers to start taking action. Once referred to as an "in-your-face Marie Kondo for millennial moms," Casazza's advice is actionable, at times irreverent, and already proven to be life-changing.

My Thoughts:

Decluttering is something I think just about every mom could do to make life more manageable. Allie Casazza is pretty passionate about making life more manageable. After being overwhelmed with three young kids she got serious about getting rid of unused stuff. All that stuff was keeping her from spending time with her kids with the constant battle to keep things cleaned and put away. It was a never-ending cycle that kept her overwhelmed and feeling down on herself. She started in the playroom and eliminated toys that weren’t being used.

She goes on to say that she is not promoting being a minimalist, she says, “It’s about having less of what doesn’t matter in order to make room for what does” and “What takes up your space take up your time”.  The minimalist is something you will have to determine yourself. I think for some having less is good for them to focus their time and what is important to them. Others seem to do good being organized and getting rid of things that they don’t need. I think you could use this book either way to fit your lifestyle and needs.

Throughout the book, you will see bold print in areas to make a point or it is something of importance. The book is a casual book with a bit of humor.

I would say that there is a lot of common sense information in the book. She gives you reasons why these changes can do you good. Some like less laundry, cleaning up after dinner, not having clutter, and less housework.  Prioritizing, decluttering, the medical benefits of less stuff which relates to stress.

She shares tips to get inspired with your progress like taking before and after photos. She has things like this throughout the book.

Allie does talk about her paid programs, webpage, podcast, Facebook group, and Instagram. She has done well promoting her business and seems like she is very passionate about what she is doing.

My overall take on this book. I do feel a lot of it is common sense. I know some need some inspiration and directions. That is not a bad thing. This book may be just what you need. You can purchase your copy here.
