Kallie, also known as That Practical Mom, knows the struggle of keeping a home tidy with three kids and another on the way. The constant flow of items into her home can feel overwhelming, but over the years, she has found simple habits and routines that make decluttering manageable.

One of Kallie’s key insights is that decluttering is more about creating a space that works for you, rather than achieving a perfect aesthetic. It’s not about minimalism, but about finding what’s manageable for your lifestyle.

To streamline the process, Kallie suggests automating tasks wherever possible. For example, she does laundry by child, keeping each child’s clothes separate from the start. This saves time on sorting and putting away. She also uses bins for clothing her children have outgrown, making decluttering a seamless process.


Kallie also focuses on functional decor. Multi-purpose furniture, like storage ottomans and trundle beds, serves both aesthetic and practical needs.

Lastly, Kallie recommends setting aside small, consistent blocks of time each day for tidying. Whether it’s a five-minute clean-up after breakfast or a nightly tidying session, these routines help keep the home under control without feeling overwhelming.
