My love for organizing began while I was in college. Admittedly, things may have been easier had I been born naturally organized, however I was not. As a youth, I learned that if I wanted to be successful and have more fun, I needed to be more organized. I became enthralled with highlighters, color-coding, labeling, and creating organization systems. Being organized became my strategy for success.

In my post-collegiate years, I held several corporate positions where a common thread was organizing something – such as a particular supply closet (it apparently had become where old marketing VHS tapes were left to die), and organizing events, data, and time. It seemed like everywhere I went, there was something I could organize, and I became known by my co-workers as an organizing expert. I often helped family and friends with organizing their homes and spaces, and I loved being able to help!

Becoming a mother intensified the desire to “organize-all-the-things”. Having a diaper bag ready the night before, meant getting to work on time. Having a meal plan and a grocery list prepared, meant spending less time (and money!) at the grocery store. As my children have grown, having a place for their “stuff”, and systems in place in our household has become a necessity for keeping the sanity, and the peace.

To me, being organized is more than just practical, it’s also FUN! Seeing things arranged neatly, labeled, or color-coded brings me a feeling of clarity, and a sense of energized joy. I actually love alphabetizing and sorting into categories. Having a place for everything, and putting everything in its place, helps me feel more calm and prepared. It’s this mix of practicality and positivity that energizes me, and fuels my love for organization.

I’ve always been a people person, I enjoy meeting new people, and helping others. When I discovered that I could merge my love of organizing with my desire to empower others to live their best life, I became SO excited. I decided to start a business where I could coach others, to get organized and stay organized. “Helping others to simplify their lives with Energy, Empathy, and Empowerment” became my mantra and the way I conduct my business. This blog chronicles my journey as a wife and mother, as a Professional Organizer, and on my quest to help spread my love for organizing.

Welcome and enjoy, I’m so glad you’re here.
