App happy. Sometimes it's hard to figure out a good topic for 3 Things Thursday. This week, I randomly discussed favorite organizing apps with 3 different clients. So sometimes, topics aren't so hard to find. ;) Here are 3 of my current favorite apps for organizing your shizzles. 1) KeyRingApp: How many "loyalty" cards do you have on your keychain? In your wallet? Don't you wish you didn't have to carry them around? How about taking a photo of them, storing them in an App and

I hope you caught my closet organizing tips last week on Good Afternoon Arkansas! But in case you didn't, here's a link. :) I've had such a great week organizing! I've cleaned out 2 closets and storage unit. And I cannot emphasize enough how calming and zen it is for clients to get rid of clutter and keep only what they need and love. Speaking of which, I wanted to share 3 questions I often ask clients when they are stuck on a decision on whether to keep an item around. Think

Whew lort it has been a crazy week! So we are about 3 weeks in to our new home and it pretty much has not stopped raining since we moved. Last week my car was broken into in our DRIVEWAY! Due to a tag-teaming of grocery bringing-in, ONE of us (hint, not me) didn't lock the car properly and some jerk nabbed my cup o' change from my console and a few other little items that were luckily not worth too much. BUT no one was hurt and no harm done except a bruised big ole fat WELCOM

How do you get motivated to de-clutter?? So I pretty much de-clutter every day. I've been trying to change my mindset over the years to have less stuff, but it doesn't always work out that way. Since I had children, I always feel like we have too much stuff. And now that we are now happily ensconced in our new home (week 2 if anyone is counting), I have been doing another purge of our belongings. I currently have about 15 boxes going to the mother of all Garage Sales in the

Have you ever thought about organizing...your dining room? Although many of us do not formally dine much in our homes anymore (hats of to those of you who do! Literally though, remove your hat, it's dinner time ya bum! (snort)). The dining room is still a place that needs to be kept tidy for those times you need to roll out the bells and whistles. 1) Cull ye napkins and linens. Like everything else, store like with like. Take out all of your linens and group them together by

Do you have paper problems? I'm here to help. I have been dealing with BOXES of clients' paper most of this week! Super fun for me (yes, I'm a clutter weirdo), :) but not so super fun for clients. Much of this surplus is actually unopened mail or mail that has no "home" to land in. Here are some tips to stop the paper before it stops you... 1) Stop general junkmail once and for all. Even in this digital age, your home address is still a commodity that can be bought and sold

And a Happy New Year to you and you and you!!! So what resolutions did you make this year? I have 3 simple ones that will last you all year long and then some... 1) Organize your morning: In 2018, how about vowing to change just one thing about your morning in a positive way?

Hey hey hey It's Thursday (for real this time)! Let's talk about donating to those in need. We had a wonderful 2017. Ironically, ours didn't work out as we expected or as we had hoped, but everyone here is healthy and loved, and that's all that is really important as far as goals. As the year comes to an end, I wanted to write about the spirit of giving to those that are less fortunate, and what you and I can do to help those in need to transition into a better life. Here are

How to get more work done: I have very, very, little time to get things done. I have my 2 little ones, the hubbs, and clients almost everyday (hallelujah!). So recently I have been researching methods on how to get more done with the time that I have. Here are 3 ways to be more productive. 1) Be organized...duh. Okay, check!
