Moving?

ARE YOU IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING AND OVERWHELMED?

I would LOVE to help you on either end of your move!

If you are packing up...

Have you ever used that kitchen appliance you got last Christmas!?! Do you really wear all of those tops in your closet!?!

Let me help you sort through your belongings and pack up only what is necessary and important to you.

Don't pack up your clutter and bring it with you. Start off fresh in your new home!

You may lower your cost of moving because you are packing up less stuff, too! :)

If you are unpacking...

Don't throw all of your kitchen items into the cabinets thinking you will get back to organizing it later!

Let me help you put it away in an organized fashion right off the bat!

Did you have to pack up in a hurry and bring your clutter with you? No problem!

Let me help you sort through your items before you put them in their new home.

Making Room in the Pantry

One client hired me to make room in her pantry as she was about to have another family move in to her house for a bit. She wanted me to get her items to only take up about half of the pantry shelving. We did! I used boxes that one of us already owned and I categorized by type: dry goods, canned goods, baking supplies, etc.

BEFORE

BEFORE- Floor
AFTER :)
AFTER:)- FloorTIP: Notice the big cooking pot on the floor of this pantry? With nothing inside, it takes up useful space!

As it is not used very often in this household, I was able to use it for storing some hospitality chocolate boxes that needed a spot.

Try using large pots as storage, too!

I would love to hear what you store in yours...leave a comment!

How to Recycle- Office Technology

UPDATE: Check your local Staples for their recycling policies. My brother tried to take a DELL computer more recently and they were going to charge him. Too bad! :(

My household was beginning to have quite the collection of old computers/monitors and we weren't entirely sure what to do with them.

My brother found out that Staples recycles certain technological items including monitors and computers. He was able to drop our old computers (after removing the RAM) and monitors off at a local store. They recycle DELL products for free and other brands have a $10 fee.

It is so nice to have them out of the house but know that they are being disposed of properly.

Check out staples.com and type "recycling programs" in the search bar for more information on how and what they recycle.

Thank you Staples! You really made that easy!!

Enjoy ridding your house of clutter by recycling!

Storing Spices

Look for this great product: Kamenstein 12 Tin Magnetic Spice Rack

I found it at Costco and was able to recommend it to one of my clients to help her store some of her spices.

These 12 tins magnetically stick to an easel that you can set on top of your counter or attach to the wall.

TIP: My clients refrigerator was right next to her stove- top so I suggested that she just attach the magnetic tins directly to the side of the fridge!

Loose or frequently used spices right at your fingertips!
Don't know how to even start organizing your spices?

Storing School Papers, Projects, and Keepsakes

School is out!...

Now what do you do with all of the important papers, projects, and keepsakes?

Pictures are fun to display for a while, but it's time to make room for next years' masterpieces.

Below are some pictures of the "Life" Box I put together after I graduated from high-school to organize the paperwork from my school years.

It contains pictures from preschool, journals from middle school, and chemistry homework!

TIP: If your child is still in school, you can start them a box now and just add to it each year. As it starts to fill and time goes on, you can sort through the box and keep only the most important and meaningful projects.

I organized mine by school year with different subcategories.

Overwhelmed by all the papers to sort through to make your own box?

Let me help!

Looking through Organizing Idea Book by John Loecke. I recommend it!

He wrote:

"The important thing to remember is that getting organized isn't about changing the way you live, but rather it's about accommodating your lifestyle." [emphasis added]

Let me help you organize the way that you already live!

How are your kitchen cabinets?

Are you scared to open your kitchen cabinets for fear items will come falling out?

BEFORE

How would you like to be able to open your cabinets with peace of mind and even let your children help you put dishes away in an organized fashion?

AFTER :)
Let me help you regain order and peace of mind like I did for this client.

"You did a phenomenal job organizing our kitchen and our life. Especially since the kitchen is the center of the home and somehow where everything happens as well as finds it's way there.

We are eating at home more and you will be so proud of us we are sticking to the plan. Also, I am less likely to hold onto items. You greatly inspired me to get my bathroom sinks and drawers done."
