I was in the produce section saying yes to every fruit and vegetable my children asked to get, when I saw it - the checkout counter. With the end in sight, I hit my second wind. It came just in time to unpack, scan, and then repack everything back into the cart. Despite the dreaded work of checking out, I had hope. My tiresome trip with the three littles was about to be done! Not quite. The joke was on me. After double checking my list, I realized there were a few items I had missed and I now needed to walk back to the other side of the store to get them. Nope. Not again, not ever again am I going to do this to myself, I thought. And so, The Ultimate Grocery Shopping list was created.

     Organizing and decluttering one’s home can certainly be a daunting task.  For those of us that don’t have the time or patience to do it ourselves, hiring a professional organizer is the answer.  There are so many things to consider like which area of your home needs the most attention, your needs and habits, how much of your things should you keep and how much do you purge?  The list goes on and on.  The anxiety sets in.  Yikes!      Hiring a professional organizer may be something you never considered.  The peace of mind from having an organized space that suits your needs can make a world of difference.  Start with a small area like a pantry or an office space if you feel overwhelmed. Having a home that works the way you need it to doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.  You can choose to use as many products as you want or none at all. That's where a pro organizer can guide you through the process. They’ll lis...

If you’re feeling unsure, unmotivated, and possibly scared to declutter and organize your home and mind, take a breath. Reference these 20 quotes whenever you need to give yourself that little extra pep in your step! “When you let go of something that no longer serves your growth or upward progression, you actually make room for more.” – Brandie Gilliam “I regret decluttering.” – Said no one ever “Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor – it’s anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.” –   Peter Walsh. “The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.”. — Marie Kondo. “ Outer order contributes to inner calm.” – Gretchen Rubain “Having a simplified, uncluttered home is a form of self-care.”  — Emma Schelb “The first step to crafting a life you want is to get rid of everything you don’t.” — Joshua Becker “Your home is a living space, not a storage space.”  — Fra...

     Spring has sprung and I don't know about you, but I couldn't be happier! For many people, this time of year means taking that dreaded trip around your home to make a list of the countless projects that need to be completed to prepare for the warmer weather ahead. While you're at it, let's also take note of all the things in your home that just aren't going to make the cut moving forward into the new season. Here is a list of five items that can be quickly and easily decluttered to make room in your hearts and homes for things that truly matter this spring: 1. Cold season clothes/shoes that have been outgrown - No need to pack them away and decide what to do with them next year; just take them out of the house now! 2. Warm season items that didn't make it through winter - Outdoor equipment, solar lights, and pool accessories that are worn and broken don't need to make the cut. 3. Garden items - Outdoor chemicals/sprays that are half empty, tools, and l...

 Do you have trouble ridding your home of things? Yes I said it, things . It can be hard to think about your stuff being anywhere but exactly where it is. The secret is to think positive. Imagine what you would love your home to truly be, and work towards that. There are five simple questions to be addressed when playing the organizing game, will you be able to answer honestly? You know that super cute sweater that you look at every winter and then decide against wearing? Yeah, I know, I have that sweater too because I never wear it. As well as 3 other ones, two pairs of jeans that I can't fit into, and at least 10 scarves that are nowhere near fashionable. I can't remember the last time I wore any of it.

You're doing great so far, so let's keep going! Next, let's think about how often you're using the items ...

Should I hire a professional organizer? The answer is yes, obviously! But lets talk about why you should hire one. There are a few popular questions that I get asked often concerning hiring a home organizer; what am I getting for my money, I can just do it myself can't I, and will I be able to stay organized. The answers are simple, so stick with me. When you decide to hire an organizer to come into your home, the best part about it is the final reveal, right? The behind the scenes stuff that you don't see is important too. You are not just paying for that final reveal, it's the ideas and research as well as the planning and design. There's fun in every step for me and I love being able to share that with you and all of the other feels as well! Now I'm sure you're thinking, well I can just get some ideas from Pinterest and rack my Amazon credit card up a bit. Listen, everyone is capable of organizing to some degree. Some are actually pretty good at it, but thei...

I remember back in the day when my Mother would ask me to clean my room. It was as if it was the worst thing that could have possibly happened. The feeling of "being an adult" yet being told to clean my room was insulting. Looking back, I wish I would have known then what I know now - being organized is the s**t! Here are five easy steps you can take towards a clutter-free room:   The first thing that I do before I get ready for the day is make my bed. There are two reasons that I do this. One, it will immediately create a sense of calm in your room and two, if you accomplish nothing else that day, at least you made your bed. Either way, you're going to feel great after doing it!   Remove anything and everything that should not be in your room. For example, tableware, toilet paper, and your pizza from the night before should not be in your bedroom. Just keep in mind if there is something that normally belongs in another room you should probably return it. Is it laun...
