Blog: Family Organizing

I had some shopping to do today for a client and happened to be in one of my favorite stores – IKEA.  Although is was quiet in the store, there were many renovations going on.  Departments have been moved to different areas, new stock had arrived and the old stock was on sale!  Yesterday, I [...]

February!  Ahhhh…the month of love (and chocolate).  I’m sure you have all heard the saying, “Many hands make light work.”  Well it’s true, especially when it comes to organizing! Why not spend some quality time with your significant other, a loved one, or a friend and tackle one area of your home?  Here are some [...]

It’s the year of the dragon this year and for many, it is a symbol of good fortune and a sign of intense power.  But for many, tapping into your power can be a struggle.  Not having clear direction can lead to roadblocks and dead ends.  When it comes to taming your own dragon and [...]
