My children love technology. Who am I kidding...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But in real life you can't sit on your iPod all day and ignore that there are chores and responsibilities for each of us. In real life we have to be responsible. At least that's what I tell myself when I sit down to pay bills. What's that saying? “If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, then someday you can do the things you want do when you want to do ...continue reading

The Cottage

I have some new clients that I am pretty darn excited about. We are new friends and have known each other for about a year. But this is first time that we have worked on any organizing together. They recently had the ability to travel abroad for an extended period of time and upon returning to their home they realized it was time to make some changes.

Back To School Stacks
August 15, 2014 By
I feel like most of what I have done this week is put out fires and tackle stacks. Monday was our first day of school. I have two in elementary school and this year I have one in middle school. This means two times the parent meetings, two times the school events and two times the paperwork. Well, truly I have three sets of paperwork but two different schools means different channels of communication going out and coming in. To top that all off I spent all ...continue reading
