 The holidays are finally here and I don't know if I'm more excited about eating or decorating. Both can be stressful when you're also squeezing in family, shopping, and seasonal events. Take a deep breath and grab your favorite hot drink because this list is going to help make your holiday season merry and bright! Reorganize your holiday schedule. It is easy to overextend ourselves, but limiting ourselves to what we enjoy doing the most will make this season extra special. This next step is one that I cannot live without - make a list! Create a master list with all of your major holiday to-do's such as prepping your home, gift giving, and holiday party hosting. Once you have all of your thoughts on paper, try ordering your list and checking it off top to bottom.  The holidays are the perfect time to de-clutter and purge in order to make room for incoming cards and gifts. You don't need to go overboard as well. It can be as simple as taking 10 minutes to fill one ba...

 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. So if you and I have this in common, then I think you just started your first donate pile. Put any items whether it be clothing, home decor, or toys here. You're doing great so far, so let's keep going! Next, let's think about how often you're using the items ...

Need a cheap and easy solution to organize your home? Tension rods are the answer. They can be used as product dividers or even hangers for jewelry, cleaning products, and clothes. The options of what to do with a tension rod are endless and can also be used as a design element in your home too - how awesome! Tension rods can be utilized in cabinets and drawers or on shelves, horizontally or vertically. Try hanging them vertically on a shelf. You can now easily divide cooking sheets, cutting boards, or big platters. When using tension rods as horizontal dividers, put them in your plastic container drawer. Put two rods close together so that container lids will be tucked nice and neatly in between them. No more searching for lids! Next, let's head under your kitchen sink. I know, the dreaded under the sink space. This can be a tricky spot to tackle, but tension rods can add a quick fix. Hang a rod right under the sink, leaving space to be able to hang cleaning spray bottles. You can...

Laundry is my favorite chore. Now I know what you're thinking, "Is she crazy?" But the laundry room is my favorite space in my home and that's not by chance, I set it up that way! Here are a few things to consider when beginning an organizing extravaganza in your laundry room: make sure you can see the wash products that you have, your washer/dryer are in an area that is accessible to you, and add special touches to make it feel like home. Decanting should be a sport. In fact, yes it definitely is a sport what am I saying? I like to decant powders such as borax or washing powder in tall glass jars with lids, and liquids such as detergent or bleach in glass dispensers with a spout. Keep them on a shelf above your washer and dryer for quick and easy access. You will easily know exactly when you need to re-fill! Before our laundry room renovation started, the room was a mess. It was super chaotic not to mention my dryer wasn't even inside my house! I dreaded going in...

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...

This post is a very special one to me, do you want to know why? Because my Momma wrote it! Her keys to organizational success in the workplace are ones that can be applied in any job setting. I hope you apply some of her knowledge into your own life and I would love to hear your spin on her suggestions. Happy reading! As someone who used to work as a secretary to a vice principal, I found that prioritization and organization are keys to success.  First, communicate with your boss daily as to which tasks require immediate attention and which ones don't.  I liked to make columns on my desk of all that needed to be done.  I would stagger the papers so that I could see everything at a glance and grab what I needed quickly.  If your space is cluttered and you can't find what you need, it makes it very difficult to work efficiently.  I always had in the outer corner of my desk a tray with two levels (you can have more if you prefer).  The top section wa...
