If I can be organized...you can be organized. Honestly!
I was not born naturally organized. Some things, like organizing my Trapper Keeper or a job hunting binder, came easy (I still LOVE a good binder system!). But keeping my room or office organized was a constant struggle. Everything fell apart when I had a child and moved across the country. Keeping it all together was exhausting.
A defining moment was when I was so overwhelmed with all the stuff in my house that I had a huge "purging" session. I donated bags of clothes and left out on the sidewalk a ton of kid's stuff. I watched as all the excess toys and clothes left my car or were picked up from the curb and I felt amazing. There was so much relief. I instantly felt so much lighter! I had less to maintain and less to fix up when company was coming over. The kids could help clean up more. They were playing with the remaining toys so much more because they weren't overwhelmed with all the choices. We had more time to enjoy our home, not clean it up all the time.
I made a decision to buy less and learn how to maintain an organized home. My home was in shape most of the time and if it wasn't, it only took 15-20 minutes to pull it together, because there was less stuff to put away.
I noticed that people started asking me questions about how to organize parts of their home. Other people were having some of the same struggles that I had. After using some of the tips I shared, they would tell me how much lighter they felt. I felt the same relief they were having by them just sharing their stories. At that point I knew I was on to something. Sharing the knowledge of how to get organized and stay organized was going to be my new professional path in life.
I share my history because I want you to know that I have been there. I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by stuff and unable to figure out where to begin. While it took me years to figure it out, it doesn't have to take you that long!
The peace and calm that come from having your space organized is what I want you to experience. To create "happy places" within your home. Imagine needing to find something and knowing just where it will be! Working together, we can make your home your happy place.
