I had an amazing time with all my fellow organizers at the NAPO Summit last weekend in Las Vegas. Thank you and for the education and networking.

Is your New Year’s resolution to get organized? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Remember to start small. There is no better way to derail yourself than by tackling something large and not being able to finish. And know when you need help. An organizer can help keep the project focused, on budget, and can provide resources for trash removal and donations. I also provide personal assistant services which my clients really appreciate! Document scanning and organizing, errands, service coordination, etc.

Now that the holidays are coming to a close it’s the perfect time to organize for next year! When you put away your decorations, look at what you didn’t use and decide if you will in the future. Put like items in one bin and clearly label. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Doing some work now will save you time and energy next year!

Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year 🥳

A helpful reminder this time of year 💜

How is your office looking?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you can't find the floor and are overwhelmed with paper, you aren't alone. It can be helpful to have someone help you dig out and get organized. As the New Year approaches, give some thought to an office reset and how it can help you be more productive.

Does it seem like your possessions are taking over your home?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Instead of purchasing stuff this year, how about spending money on an experience instead? Make memories that will last forever and won't take up space in your home. A cooking class, vacation, sporting event, skiing, ice skating....so many options!

As part of my work with the Professional Organizing community I have gotten to know Bridging and the wonderful work they do in our state. NAPO MN is doing a queen sheet set fundraiser to help stock the shelves in their warehouse. To donate go to https://bridging.org/blog/napo-minnesota-2022-queen-sheet-event-for-bridging/. You can purchase a new queen sheet set for $10 or donate funds towards the purchase of sheet sets.

What a HUGE transformation at my clients home this week! I can’t wait to get the styling done on those amazing shelves.

How do you store your shoes?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I love the floor to ceiling adjustable shelves for this family. The tallest family member has the taller shelves and the shortest gets the shelves closer to the floor. The shelves can be adjusted for boots too. So fabulous!

Struggling to figure out a furniture layout?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A professional organizer can be extremely helpful in planning a space. We think about flow, storage, organization and how your family lives in the space.

Custom closets....are they worth it?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
No doubt they are an investment in your home and can get pricey depending on what you include in them. What I love about a closet system is being able to design them for the items you have. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This client loves purses and so creating several upper cabinets with glass to showcase her collection was important to her.

Moving sometime soon?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here's a quick tip.....Use different colored tape to color code your boxes. Make a list of the rooms with a color associated with each space. After you pack the box, use a piece of tape on the front right corner and the back left corner. That way you can see the tape from every side of the box. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Happy Packing!

What does your home office look like?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For me it is so important to have a calm space to work in. Clean surfaces, organized files, and the important tools like my scanner being easily accessible. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How about you?

1 year in business!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I have been so busy working that I forgot to acknowledge this amazing achievement. I'm so thankful for my amazing clients and the trust they place in me. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here's to many more years in business!

I ❤️ being crafty! A small business client needed a calendar in their office to track important dates so I purchased the calendar on Amazon, found a frame at Hobby Lobby and put it all together! Now they have a calendar that they can use year after year that looks fabulous in their office space.

How is your desk looking these days?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Working from home can create clutter of all sorts in your work space. Permission slips, bills, homework, sports schedules, and so much more. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Creating a system to help you corral the clutter is so vital to being productive during your day. Quick Tip: Take all the paper and put it in categories. That will help direct how many folders, stackable trays, etc. you may need to keep things sorted.

How do you start your day?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Most mornings my family can find me with a protein shake writing a list of things I need to accomplish that day. For me, looking at my calendar and writing things down helps me prioritize and remember what needs to be done. I also love the feeling of checking something off when I get it completed.

02/02/2022

I love this and what I visualize when I read it. Hopefully it speaks to you as well.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Happy Wednesday!

Creating a calming space is so important.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Picking out soft fabrics and small touches that make you smile can be a great start. A family photo, plants, blankets, pillows...those items make a house a home.

01/26/2022

Just because you started out one way with your project, doesn't mean you have to stick with that path. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being able to be flexible and change it up can be so helpful in getting to your end result....a finished task!

Do you have a home project that you are considering but you don't want to handle the details?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am working with several clients who are doing projects at their home and they have hired me to manage the process. The details can be overwhelming and I love the challenge.

01/21/2022

What to do with all that paper?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Should you put it in cute containers or should you digitize it? Or do you need a combination of both?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The answer is unique to you and how you work. There is no one size fits all. Working with a professional can help you work through the process of what will work best for you!

When I'm working with clients they often ask me to take projects home.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I took this laundry basket of medical supplies after a session and returned it completed several days later. Now my client and her family can find what they need when they need it!
