We all want to teach our kids how to become responsible and capable humans, and we do that best by modeling the behaviors that we want to teach them. This means including them in the projects you want to accomplish around the house! Here are five ways to help motivate your kids to get involved in de-cluttering, organizing, and tidying your home: 1. Make it a game. This could look like creating a scavenger hunt to find 10 items that you no longer want to keep, setting a timer to tidy what you can in under 10 minutes, or once you've reached the organizing stage, you can turn sorting like items into a matching game. No matter the game you choose, everyone wins! 2. Keep things age appropriate. A two year old is not going to understand or perform the same way that an 8 year old will, so assign jobs that each individual will be able to complete (with confidence!). They will not only feel good because they helped Mom, but they will know exactly what to do next time. Practicing the skil...

The number one thing that I always tell my clients and even my friends and family is to do things that will make your life easier . Life is hard enough, don't make it more difficult for yourself.  Planning ahead, making lists, and accomplishing tasks in the moment (even if you really don't want to) will save you time and sanity in the long run, so get up and get it done! Here are my top tips to make traveling (whether solo or with your family) much easier: Make a list. This can apply to many aspects of life, but making a list when traveling is especially important. It can be easy to forget something minor that I wanted to bring, and it can be a big disappointment if I forget something important I needed to bring, so I make a list. Start with the most obvious and also important things, going all the way down to something as simple as dental floss. Make a "to pack" list as well as a "morning of" list. There are tasks that I can accomplish ahead of time, and t...

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...
