​Declutter & Organize
Good news: you don't need half of what you own.

Add white space to your life.

Get rid of the junk you really don't need and definitely don't use.

Cut time cleaning and tidying and spend time on the important things. 

You can start anywhere. Literally. Anywhere.
​Your ​wallet; Hangers; One kitchen cabinet; Hammers; One closet; Briefcase; Black pants; One corner of the garage; Sheets; One tiny area of the basement; Socks; A bathroom shelf; Pens; One drawer or cupboard; Board games; Coffee mugs; One office drawer; ​Coats; Tax paperwork​.

It starts with baby steps. Always baby steps.

​Aging Parents & Their Stuff
Good news: the kids won't be fighting over grandma's china. (Or yours, for that matter.)

​​​What to do with all their stuff?

It can be overwhelming to face the prospect of going through a half century of household and personal items, especially when you know that  family members won't want most of it and now you have to find people who do. The landfill is not an option! Whether your parents need to downsize to a smaller place, move to a nursing home, or just clear out fall hazards, it all begins the same way: identify what's needed, what's cherished, what will fit. Baby steps. Always baby steps.

Moving & Starting Fresh
Good news: You won't need all that old stuff ​in your new adventure.​

Organize before.

Take only what you need or love. 

Create a moving plan:​
What items do you really need and love?

What will fit?

What doesn't go?

ABOUT ME:
​Organizing is in my blood. It's a sickness really. For those who don't suffer from this affliction but want help getting their crap under control once and for all because they just can't take it anymore and daggone it where did all this stuff even come from, listen up: you can do it. I will help. ​​

​It can be a bit intimidating to up  and hire some stranger to come into your home and witness your 150-piece collection of uniquely-shaped dust balls and then riffle through all your stuff like a burglar.  (I'm not like that.) What if you don't like them? It's a huge commitment! It's scary! Except, no it's not.

​I offer a try-before-you-commit deal: For $99 I'll work with you for two hours: one hour planning and one hour hands-on organizing. If you like my work, you can keep me on. If you don't, you can end the relationship right there and then and I will never darken your door again! 

I grew up in a crazy messy house and spent my childhood inventing tidy-up games that none of my siblings ever wanted to play. Imagine how I thrilled I was to grow up and realize that quite a bit of the world is crazy messy, thus enabling me to play and teach tidy-up games to my heart’s content.
