And the papers never stop….

[ 0 ] March 7, 2013

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, [...]

After the holidays…declutter your decorations!

[ 0 ] January 16, 2013

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.

Follow through…part way is just not enough

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’ [...]

3 simple tips to having a better day

[ 0 ] June 6, 2012

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 [...]

Thinking of consigning your kids stuff?

Thinking of consigning your kids stuff?

[ 0 ] February 6, 2012

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 [...]

purge

purge

[ 1 ] January 12, 2012

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 [...]

New Hope Academy: Organizing, volunteering & training. Win-win-win!

[ 1 ] August 23, 2011

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 [...]
