One of the first things I look for when preparing to organize a space is hidden storage options. I like thinking out of the box and using what my clients have before purchasing anything new.For example, while helping a client get settled into their new home, they revealed they didn't have a

Last Saturday I went to Ikea to do some client shopping for an upcoming project.I wasn't in the store two minutes before I became completely overwhelmed. Too many things and too many choices caused some major anxiety. I was glad I had my shopping list to keep focused.

I always have one main project that I like to accomplish during Spring Break. This year I'm tackling and organizing our garage! I cannot wait to show you the before and afters....we've started already, and it's turning out so well, we are almost there!! 

Hi all, it's been a while! I've been so busy helping my clients that I've neglected my blog. I'm hoping to change that this spring! I am still teaching two days a week and will retire from my teaching years in May.

I’m so excited to share a big event that I’m going to be a part of next month! I’m going to be a featured speaker at Get Organized HQ, and YOU are all invited!!!Get Organized HQ is a FREE event with 20+ organizing experts to help you streamline your life and home!

What does a professional organizer do when she has two days off in a row? She organizes her own pantry lol! It's very rare that I have two days off in a row at home, so I decided to take advantage and redo my pantry. It's been on my to-do list for a while now.

Winter is over in most parts of the country. It's time to clean out our closets and get ready for spring and summer.But where do I begin?

Every spring, the world comes to life. The flowers are blooming, the trees come alive, the grass turns green. Everything feels fresh and new again.The sun comes out and the days get longer. We get itchy to work in our yards, clean out the beds and plant new flowers.

You know that fairy tale about the Cobbler's kids not having any shoes because he is so busy helping others?Well sometimes that applies to home organizers too lol!Sometimes we get so busy helping others, our own homes get in disarray.

I love it when someone asks me to organize anything!I was born the oldest of seven kids and with the gift of organization; and nothing makes me happier than to help other people.It will be one year in June that I launched Neat Freak McKinney .

The flu season has been brutal this year. So has strep. Both of which I had this past week. Insert crying emoji here.And call us old fashioned, but when Mama goes down, the whole house tilts a little, or a lot lol.This is one of those times that having an organized home really pays off.

I believe we are all born with a special gift.I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, grammy-nana, teacher and friend, and I love all those jobs the Lord has given me...but I am happiest and most fulfilled when I am sharing my gifts with others.

What's your excuse for not getting organized? Before you can change anything and make lasting efforts in decluttering your home, you have to address the negative self talk that hinders a lot of people.

I've had some family members say to me, "who would actually pay for someone to organize their house?".I think it was an honest question.My question back to them was, if you have something that isn't working, and you can't do it yourself, isn't it better to fix it rather than have it sit there broken and unusable?

Remember that funny you tube video of the little boy that had just come from the dentist?"Is this real life?", he asked.Well that's what people say when they look at Pinterest. And guess what?This is NOT real life.

There's something about a new year that gets me all excited. I want to clean everything in sight, pare down to bare minimalism in every room, make goals, go out for a run, clean my car, remodel the garage,
