Is your pantry ready to take on the holidays?
The holidays (yes, you read correctly!) are almost here, and I want to encourage you to start thinking about your holiday To-Do lists now. Looking at one task at a time, starting now, will alleviate so much stress when the day(s) actually arrives. If you plan on hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, or any other event in your home, sorting through your pantry is a must. Think of all of the appetizers, cookies, and pastries you might be making, as well as any festive drinks you may be serving. Those ingredients need to live somewhere, right? Rather than shoving them into your already full pantry, go through it and make some room. This article has some great tips on how to categorize your pantry. And remember, I’m always here to help!

Does excess clutter = excess weight?
During one of the many networking opportunities I get to participate in, I met Personal Trainer/Corrective Exercise Specialist, Julie Arroyo. During our conversation, we talked about the correlation between home clutter (stuff) and body clutter (extra weight, pain, and stress). Now, we realize that not everyone who has home clutter is overweight, and vice versa, but it\’s true for many of our clients. Whether it be an addiction to shopping/buying or food, or simply taking care of everyone else in their lives and not paying attention to their own health or surroundings, our clients want to get a handle on it, and we\’re here to help! In fact, Professional Organizer Peter Walsh wrote a book called “Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat”, which explains how getting rid of excess clutter CAN help you lose weight! You can read an excerpt from this book here. Please be sure to check out page 2. I\’d love to hear from you if this resonates with you!

I\’ve been hired to help organize my clients\’ garages lately, so I thought I\’d talk about my process. Clearing out a garage can be daunting, but I suggest doing it in stages to prevent becoming overwhelmed. I also recommend having at least three people on the job to keep each other motivated (and to finish the job quicker!) whether that be family members, neighbors, or hiring a Professional Organizer.
If this is what your garage looks like,
