My Favorite Things
No, I will not break into song, although The Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies (that may be a bit TMI), but I am in the process of compiling a list of organizing products that make me feel better when I’m sad (yes, organizers are strange…I know, I know) and thought I […]
Getting to the Bottom of the Closet
I recently took a trip to see my family, in Texas, for my mother’s birthday. Since I was not working those days and had the chance to relax and unwind, I took the opportunity to organize my mother’s wardrobe (yes, it’s an illness, albeit a useful one!). My mother has lost a significant amount of […]
Downsizing for Life
Last month I had the unhappy task of beginning to clear out my grandmothers’ apartment, where she’s lived for close to 22 years. After falling and breaking her hip last November, she has become unable to live on her own. She has had surgery and we were holding on to the hope that with enough […]
Ye of Little Space
Storage space, or lack thereof, is always a problem. We think of space as being infinite (or the final frontier). But while outer space may be limitless, the space in your home and office is not. The most crucial part of organizing is the ability to let go of some things. For some, this is […]

Toys (not child’s play!)
I’ll begin by saying, no, I don’t have children, but I used to be one (albeit a freakishly organized one) and (a little known fact) I used to teach preschool, so I know this: kids make messes! It’ their job, and if they were getting paid for it, we would have a bunch of tiny […]
It’s that time again…
Nope, not time for your annual too-private-to-discuss-in-an-organizing-blog exam (although, I don’t know, it may be). It’s Spring (or at least it feels that way here in Denver) and it’s time to get organized. There is a reason they call it Spring Cleaning. I recently did a deep cleaning of my place and when I told […]
Stuff
This is my first business blog, and I’m excited to start the new year off by helping people get organized and less stressed! So here goes… Do you ever get overwhelmed? Ok, it’s a dumb question because I know the answer to it already. But just by asking the question, I’ve gotten you thinking about […]
