Back To School Organizing
This time of year, some things automatically go on the to do list. Stock up on school supplies? Check. Sign up for after school activities? Check. Back to school clothes? Check. You might also want to consider these five organizing tips to reduce the stress in your family’s routine, for the new school year.
Don’t Throw That Out!
We hear it a lot and it’s usually from the husband, who still doesn’t quite understand what the heck we are doing in his home. “Hey, don’t throw that out!” The point of a good professional organizer is not to make you throw stuff out. Our focus isn’t on tossing, it’s on keeping. It’s about what you are keeping, why you are keeping, how much you are keeping, and where are you keeping.
Organizing Your Pets

Look how thrilled he is! OK, so I’m kidding, but the real point here is not to be uncomfortable with leaving open spaces. We had recently cleared this shelf, but instead of filling it up, just for the sake of filling it, we left it open.
