Kitchen Organizing Basics

Most of us spend our time at home in the kitchen, even if you aren’t necessarily a master chef. So it makes sense that this needs to be the most organized space. But it’s often the most cluttered. A kitchen is a place for cooking, eating, gathering and yes dumping all of our stuff. With a few tweaks to your space (and your habits) you can have a kitchen that works for you instead of against you. :

Making the Move…An Organziers Take on Moving Part 1

As a home organizer, I love helping my clients prepare for a move. I love working with moving companies, and I LOVE making a client’s transition into their new home less stressful. This past month I had to move myself and it was a challenge for me because I wasn’t moving into my permanent home. I was moving into a temporary space until my actual apartment was finished with construction. That’s right. I had to prepare to move twice. I had to think carefully about what my son and I really needed until our next home was ready for us. I also had to be very particular about how I packed and labeled my boxes as they were going into storage for the time being. I was about to become my own client and a pretty demanding one at that!
