Using Your Gifts
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?
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.
What Is It Worth?
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?
Is This Real Life?
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.
Getting Ready for Baby
This week I helped a sweet client, who also happens to be my daughter, get her nursery ready. This sweet baby girl will make baby number 3 for my daughter, and grandbaby number 7 for my husband and I. Hashtag blessed!
Gearing Up For The Holiday Season
Believe it or not, the holiday season is almost here! Thirty five days, (35!) till Thanksgiving, and seventy days (70!) until Christmas! Holidays can be filled with stress if you aren't ready.
Pumpkin Bread Recipe
I've had a lot of inquiries for this pumpkin bread/muffin recipe. I've tried many over the years and this is by far the best, in my opinion!
Calling All Teachers
Did you know I'm a teacher as well as a professional organizer? And this week, I was able to combine my love for both!

Whole Home Project, Day 5
Today was the final day of my whole home project with this special family. As you recall, a family health crisis turned this sweet family upside down, literally and figuratively.
Whole Home Project, Day 4
Day 4 was all about the kids' rooms.Mom and I worked a day in each room before the kids came home. She wanted to have some control over purging without them there.
Whole Home Project Day 3
Day 3 we moved to the family room. This room was cluttered, but not overwhelming like the other rooms. We knocked this out in a couple of hours. Organizing isn't just about "cleaning" a room.
