There are a few other organizers I have met in this great town of Athens. I love that we can support one another. I had the pleasure of having coffee with a new organizer just getting her feet wet in this business, Lisa Lewis. She has some great ideas and has been working on her own home and friends spaces for some time and is now available to help others. She has a special passion for helping those whose clutter has become debilitating and extreme. But for today I've ...continue reading

So You Say You Want Technology
January 21, 2016 By
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

Last year we were always arriving at someone's lesson or practice and the other children were complaining of being bored, thirsty of hungry. So this year we are trying to be ...continue reading

Disneymoons

It's been a little quiet here on the Neat & Pretty front. My three kids ended their school year and we immediately left for Disney World for a family vacation. We went with my mother in law to celebrate my father in law who passed away in July of 2013. He asked us to take the children to Disney for him instead of a big funeral. He wanted to take them and never had the chance. It was an amazing trip with beautiful weather. My husband and I had been once on a ...continue reading

Sister Sister
May 5, 2014 By
I have a wonderful sister. She's four years younger than me. (We have an awesome brother in between us too.) She lives here in Athens with me and we are great friends. Though we share many values and love many of the same things...we are definitely different when it comes to organizing. Me....the organizer from birth and she...well let's just say she won't ever have a blog named "Neat & Pretty". We shared a room for a good portion of our lives. We have many fond ...continue reading
