Mid-Summer Reset:

 A little cleanup, a lot more calm.

It’s July, and summer is in full swing! If you’re anything like us, your calendar is packed with events and gatherings. With only a few precious months of warm weather in Minnesota, it’s no surprise that our days fill up fast—with lake trips, backyard parties, concerts, and parades.

All that fun doesn’t leave much time (or energy) for cleaning. But we’re here to remind you: a clean, organized home has a big impact on your wellbeing. When clutter piles up, it can quietly drain your mood and add to the chaos.

That’s why we’ve put together a simple summer reset checklist, so you can keep things manageable and feel more in control, even during the busiest season of the year.

Remember, you don’t have to tackle everything in one go. Choose one room, set a 30-minute timer, and see how far you get. Even small steps can make your space feel lighter and your mind feel clearer.

Room-by-Room: How to Refresh Your Space

To keep it simple, we’re focusing on five key areas of the home. Each section includes a few simple tasks that give you a noticeable result without requiring an all-day deep clean. The goal is to make a reset feel more achievable, not to get bogged down in everything that could be done.

🛏️ Bedroom

• Change the bedding

• Put away the laundry

• Clear off your nightstand

Why it matters: A tidy bedroom helps you rest better, think more clearly, and feel more grounded.

🧽 Parent Tip: Keep a donation bag in your closet so you can easily let go of clothes you’re no longer wearing.

🚪 Entryway

• Reset the shoe rack

• Organize the jacket closet

• Sweep or vacuum the floor

Why it matters: The entryway sets the tone when you walk in and helps keep dirt and clutter from spreading through the rest of the house.

🧽 Quick Win: Place a basket or tray near the door for keys, sunglasses, and mail. It makes a big difference in how tidy things feel.

A Clean Home Helps You Feel Better

We’ve heard it many times from Keepsake customers (and felt it ourselves): “I didn’t realize how much the mess was affecting me until it was gone.” A mid-summer reset makes it easier to manage your busy schedule and take advantage of all that Minnesota summer has to offer.
