YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter Kitchen Organizing Event! What: A day long training and hands on organizing session to not only help out a great organization by getting their new kitchens organized but a terrific way to get some hands on experience or simply share your skills. This is not limited to only new Professional Organizers [...]
You know that flood of papers you get pretty much daily? The mail, the bills, the free newspaper you pick up, the catalogs, the kidspermission slips & homework, the wedding invitation, the coupon flyers, etc. For many of my clients, all of this ends up in piles. These piles end up on the kitchen counter, [...]
The times I’m late & frazzled are the times when I think I can get so much more done than I have time for. Just one more load of wash, one more email, tweet an oh so witty observation, run just one quick errand before I have to be somewhere. Just one last thing before….oh [...]
Now that the holidays are behind us, let’s talk about your holiday decor! While I’m personally not a big fan of decorating for the holidays, a lot of my clients are and I’ve done my share of organizing ornaments, spray foamed trees, wreaths, wrapping paper & bows, angels, garland, and lights. Don’t even get me [...]
I recently got a facebook message from my cousin asking if I’d mailed a check for something I had purchased from her shop when we were visiting out of town. I said, of course I had mailed it! I mean, I’m organized. I remember writing the check and setting it in the ‘to be mailed’ [...]
Now that a new school year is upon us, I get calls from parents panicking over dealing with the massive influx of papers coming home from school. What to keep, where to keep it, and how to manage it all so it doesn’t become overwhelming. Being both a parent and a Professional Organizer, have I [...]
I can’t stress enough how much a great first impression impacts your odds of selling your home. I always recommend things like painting the front door, pressure washing away the grime, replacing door hardware & exterior lights, and putting out a fresh welcome mat. But one thing that is often overlooked is the appeal of [...]
Janice Simon, a.k.a. The Clutter Princess, asked me to write a guest post about staging but since we are both Professional Organizers I thought it would be great to show how the two professions align so nicely. Luckily she agreed and my guest post went live today on her blog, The Clutter Princess. Staging a [...]
I was having a really nice conversation with Chad Hunter today about professional organizing (he’s a graphic designer but wants to know more about my field – which I can totally understand because everyone does). During our chat, I used the phrase “bins can hide a multitude of sins.” I love the way this flows. [...]
My last post about going green mentioned going paperless in the kitchen. There are some simple steps you can take to do this yourself. Our household hasn’t bought paper towels in over 8 months. Saved us a bunch of money, and it really wasn’t that hard to do. One of my favorite websites for frugal [...]
ChicoBag Reusable Shopping Bags have been a long time favorite of mine. I’ve been using them for years to grocery shop, go to the farmers market, picnics, etc. I often get asked about them so I thought I’d do a post I could direct people to. What I love about them is: they are practically [...]
As I mentioned in my last post, I had a great time at the 2009 Mid Atlantic Regional Conference for Professional Organizers that was held in Washington DC. Not only did I meet some fabulous organizers, I learned quite a bit as well. Here’s my top three tips from each of the sessions I attended. [...]

It’s that time of year again…kids consignment sales are popping up all around my neck of the woods. I love these sales because it means that I can get clothes, books & toys for my daughter at a fraction of the retail prices in usually nearly new condition. And it means my clients can clear [...]
A few weeks ago, I used the word ‘purge‘ with a client. Her reaction – and I may not have noticed if I hadn’t sensed some inner conflict going on – was illuminating. It was a combination of a lip curl, a nose wrinkle and an arm crossing. The session was going well, we had [...]
A little while back, I got the bug to do some volunteer work. So I started thinking…hmmm….where would be a good place where I could use my skills, and help a good cause? So, of course, I threw it out on Facebook! Jennifer Beck, from New Hope Academy, a non-profit school here in my area [...]
