Work doesn’t have to be boring! 🎉 I won this awesome hardware and blue ribbon by racing a coworker to remove fabric from closet doors (swipe right to see the fun). Loving the competitive spirit and camaraderie in our team - we work hard, play hard, and get the job done! 🏆💪

Warning ⚠️ Not for the faint of heart!

The Not-So-Glamorous Side of Organizing...

As professional organizers, we’ve seen it all - the good, the bad, and the downright gross!

From creepy critters to trash treasures, we’re sharing some of our most cringe-worthy finds on the job.

Teamwork Takes Down the Laziest of Clutter!

Meet the Lazy Boy Chair that refused to leave our client’s space... until our team of creative problem-solvers stepped in!

With a combination of tools, brute strength, and a trusty sledgehammer, we broke down this behemoth and finally freed our client from its cluttering grasp.

Thanks to our amazing team for showing that with creativity, teamwork, and a little bit of muscle, anything is possible! 💪🏻

I am back from my trip to London. I was the second day's keynote with a follow up implementation session at the APDO conference which is for Professional Organizers in Europe (mostly). There were a bunch of us from the US and Canada as well so I got to see some familiar faces along with new ones.

The conference was very nice. The speakers all knew their stuff and all the participants were very welcoming and made everyone feel included. I hope to see some of these ladies at other conferences in the future. Since Scott was unable to accompany me, my friend Madalina Preda made sure I was well cared for.

I will say though, that I am very glad to be home where I can truly relax. There are more conferences in my future this year and I love going to them, but as Dorothy says... "There's no place like home"

I’m excited to share that I’ll be on the Aging Matters podcast hosted by Cheryl Beversdorf to discuss causes, risk factors, and examples of hoarding and what can be done to prevent and treat this often-misunderstood social issue. I’m looking forward to this new opportunity.

The podcast will be broadcast on Tuesday, October 31 at 2:00pm EST and re-aired on Friday, November 3 at 2:00pm yon WERA 96.7 FM in Arlington, VA. You can also visit www.wera.fm/listen-live. After October 31, it will also be posted on Mixcloud, Apple and Spotify podcasts.

Perfection isn’t necessary! Baby steps are still progress. Sometimes we have forward movement and sometimes it’s backward movement. Nonetheless, keep trying! One foot in front of the other no matter how big or small.

Just another day at the office!

I’d like to welcome Madalina as the first international member of our mentoring family.

She’s a rockstar in Romania in the organizing industry. She’s on TV, she does trainings, and I’m looking forward to helping her grow and expand even more.

Some days are trickier than others. What to do when a clients staircase collapsed and we can’t clear it out.

Sometimes (not often) we let Maria take a day off!

One of my favorite work memories! “Beer surfing”
Basement full of beer, my head was at the ceiling trying to make it across the room to the back door in order to kick out the door and let some pressure off the room. Good time!
