Helloooo, Friend!

You're subscribed to Simple Everyday Home, the super-fun newsletter where I share my tried and true tips for decluttering your home and keeping it clean. Which, admittedly, doesn't sound very fun at all, but trust me, your coffee won't taste as caffeinated without it.

Amy Scheren Founder of Simple Everyday Home, where I teach you how to declutter your house without having to thank your socks for their faithful service. (Scandalous, right?! Please don't call the decluttering police on me - they've been here three times this week already.)

You know what feels impossible to do when life is chaotic, cluttered, or just full of more dirty dishes than time?

Making appointments.

Dentist. Mammogram. Eye exam. Dermatologist for that weird new freckle that suddenly appeared on your shoulder.

When we feel overwhelmed or behind—or like we’re barely keeping our hair washed—those “non-urgent” appointments get pushed to the bottom of the list.

We’ll get to them once we catch up.

Once things settle down.

Once we have a minute to think.

But here’s the thing: life might not settle down. And that to-do list? It tends to grow in both directions. (I'm just a barrel of good news today, huh!? 😂)

I have a dentist appointment this week, and I’m honestly kind of proud of myself for keeping it. Not because I’m excited about scraping noises or detailing my "plans for the weekend" while someone has their hand shoved in my mouth—but because I didn’t wait until everything in my life was perfectly under control to take care of myself.

That’s what I want to remind you of today:

You don’t need to “earn” a check-up by being more organized. You don’t need to “deserve” healthcare by hitting inbox zero or finally decluttering your vast supply of garden gnomes.

You’re allowed to take care of yourself even in the middle of the mess.

So if you’ve been putting something off—maybe today’s a good day to call. Schedule the appointment. Book the test. Put your name on the list.

Always remember, my friend, YOU matter more than an organized sock drawer.

Cheering you on,
Amy

P.S. Want a little glimpse into my (admittedly boring) real life? I listen to BBC period drama soundtracks on Spotify all! day! long! I can't focus with words singing in my ear (apparently you lose the ability to hear and think at the same time when you're old), but I need to have something playing to block the sound of random leaves blowing across the lawn. Because while my dogs can't hear their own names unless I'm holding a block of cheese, they can hear the heartbeat of a squirrel two miles away. So...I'm just over here jamming to Emma and The Paradise like an 1800's socialite. Rock on!
