Got 15 minutes?
Who would have thought that we’d still be working from home and that our kids would still be schooling from home? With everyone in the house, the clutter is probably starting to accumulate, right? Well, let’s get it under control before it gets too overwhelming! 🙂 Set a timer for 15-30 minutes and start small. A drawer here, a cabinet there… you’ll be surprised at how little time and effort it will take, and how big an impact it will make! 🙂

Setting your kids up for success!
With school fast approaching, it’s a great time for those of you with school-age children to reevaluate their learning environment at home. If you have already figured it out, and your kids were successful, good for you! My son is in college and had to start studying from home when COVID hit, and he recently told us that it was difficult for him to attend virtual classes, study, play video games and sleep all in the same room! He needs a change of scenery, so we need to reevaluate too. This article has some great ideas for creating a successful home school environment. 🙂

During the summer we spend a lot of time outdoors where we like to entertain family and friends in our backyards. But between all that playing in the pool, playing with toys, barbecuing, and gardening that goes on, your backyard can get pretty unruly fast. So you’ll want to take measures now to ensure that it doesn’t get too out of hand.

Whether you’re a camping newbie or have roughed it tons of times, backyard camping is a blast. You get to immerse yourself in the outdoors, without all the packing, planning and gear-buying associated with traditional camping (plus, having nearby access to a clean bathroom is a pretty big perk).

Need an attitude adjustment? Try decluttering!
How many of you have read “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?\” I love the article below, because it totally reminds me of that book! 🙂 It talks about how getting rid of the clutter that’s causing you to be stressed and annoyed (and other things!) can have a super positive ripple effect in your life! I’d love to hear from you if this happens to you. Try letting go of just a little bit of clutter (some clothes, some papers on your desk, some books) and tell me how it makes you feel! I bet you’ll be surprised! 🙂

Virtual Organizing Appointments
As Shelter in Place continues and you are spending all of your time at home, you may be noticing that the clutter situation may be getting a little out of hand. Let me (virtually) hold your hand and help keep it under control. By setting up virtual organizing appointments with me, you are carving out the time to do it (just like you do when I work with you in person), which is what most everyone says is the key. Meaning, no one wants to do this by themselves!
Virtual rates are lower than my in-person rates, and I am offering an extra 25% off the first session to the next 5 people who schedule with me! And remember, we can work on any area of your home

Let\’s get your taxes ready!
I hope you’re staying healthy and happy! This is such a weird time for all of us, and I just want you to know that I am here for you in whatever capacity you may need me. Whether it be just to talk, to bring you any necessities you may need, or to continue with your organizing project. Yes, you heard me! We can actually organize virtually using Zoom! 🙂 With everyone home now, the clutter situation around the house may get a little out of hand. I’d love to be there with you to (virtually) hold your hand, and help keep it under control. I will walk you through how Zoom works (it’s easy!), and then we can work together on whatever area of your house you’d like!
This month, my focus is on making sure you can find your tax papers. Even though tax payments and filings have been extended to July 15th with no interest or penalties (which is awesome!), it\’s still a good idea to get started on them. By organizing virtually with me, you are carving out the time to do it (just like you do when I come in person), which is what most everyone says is the key. Meaning, no one wants to do this by themselves! 🙂 We will go through your files, discard what you don’t need, and relabel them if necessary. I can print out labels for you and mail them to you! Not only will we find what you need for your 2019 taxes, but you will also be able to find what you need for your 2020 taxes much quicker and easier!
Who will be my first virtual client? 🙂 Virtual rates are lower than my in-person rates, and I am offering an extra 25% off the first session to the first 5 people who contact me! And remember, we can work on any area you’d like. Can’t wait to hear from you!
