Happy New Year 🤍



I woke up this morning feeling energized. With a fresh dusting of snow on the ground, everything feels clean and calm, like the world hit reset. It felt like the perfect day for a book launch, because “Lighten Up! - Clear the Clutter, Live with Ease” is officially out today in both eBook and paperback.
 
I wrote this book last fall during a renovation that turned our house completely upside down. We were building an apartment in the basement for our young adult sons, and clutter was everywhere. Writing “Lighten Up!” started as a way to motivate myself to take action, and honestly, it worked.
 
Even over the holidays, I tackled one of the biggest projects I had been putting off, my eldest son’s abandoned bedroom and workshop. He needed to sort through his belongings, and the holiday break felt like the perfect opportunity. Not sure he saw it that way, but he did tackle it when asked.
 
That space is now becoming a writing room and French classroom for me. I’m actually halfway through a new French-inspired book that will be coming out early 2026. A Paris and Provence themed room is the perfect place to finish the manuscript.
 
Freshening up spaces at home is such a great way to start the year. It gives you room to breathe, think, dream, and actually do the things you’ve been putting off.
 
What are you excited about this year? What would you love to clear some space for? #jennifermelville #cleartheclutter #lightenup #declutteryourhome

I launched a new little project recently that I’d love for you to join. I have kicked off “The Elevated Everyday Monthly Book Club”. I thought it would be fun to bring together a community of like-minded people who share my passion for elevating the everyday. I plan to feature one of my books each month to serve as the backdrop for our discussion. (I’ve got 11 completed, so hopefully I’ll fill that blank space by the end of the year with a new one!) You can find it on Facebook .

I'm kicking the first month off with an appropriately seasonal selection, "Cozy Up!" Hope to see you there!

Did you know that I was a guest on a podcast? I chatted with my internet friend @aftonporter about my favourite book, “Paris in my Panties”. If you love all things French, it’s a fun one to listen to. 🇫🇷🥐 I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday!
