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 … [Read more...]

When you live out of a backpack and barely have any of your possessions with you for an extended period of time it … [Read more...]
Declutter Your Yard
We talk all the time about your indoor spaces. But this week in Georgia I just CANNOT stay indoors. It's BEAUTIFUL outside (if you don't have a pollen allergy). I have moved my laptop outside so I can enjoy the breeze. I'm hosting a baby shower this weekend so I decided to spruce up the outdoor space. So let's talk about the great outdoors.
