When people hear I'm a professional organizer, they automatically assume I make people get rid of things. On the contrary, if you love it, use it, need it and can justify keeping it, I won't argue with you. I don't push people to get rid of...
Moving and relocating is stressful no matter what time of year it is - or even during a pandemic crisis! I've been unable to assist clients in their homes during the shelter in place orders, but I have been able to assist two families that...
Part of my services as a professional organizer includes taking one carload of donations on behalf of each client to the appropriate places where they will be used or have a chance of being resold. Additionally I have helped clients to post items on Nextdoor that...
