Jam packed with 3 things today. Did you see me on TV on Monday? I did TWO segments on Good Afternoon Arkansas on Monday! I ran through 3 things you can declutter in 6 different rooms! One link to both segments here (scroll down for second video): Three things you can declutter in each room! Peace, love, and labelmakers! Megan Like my blog?

Wanna chat about clutter? Maybe this appeals to you and maybe it doesn't. BUT it's nice to have options, right? Well, I have a Facebook Group with a bunch of members and we post all of our organization problems, projects, and solutions. Basically we solve all of the world's problems. And YOU TOO CAN JOIN!

So what are you waiting for? I have found myself mentioning to several clients and friends this week that at one point, when I launched my business, I hired a life and business coach. For me, it was one of the best things I could have done for myself to launch my business (and to continue to grow and launch other businesses, check out my web design, and virtual styling at Wardrobe Rx). Sometimes you know what you need to do, but you need to have someone give you a little guid

Closets, closets and more closets. I'm writing this on a Wednesday night. As of this moment - I have organized 4 closets in 48 hours (and a kitchen... and a pantry). BOOM. What have I found myself repeating? Here are three highlights. 1) If you don't declutter, you are just moving your stuff around: You MUST declutter to organize. Find out what doesn't serve you. Remember that your closet should be your own private VIP party. Only friends who make you feel great and lift you

Favorite things from this week. Do little things just make you happy? Perhaps I'm just easily amused, but it's the little stuff that can really push me into a better mood. And it's important to stop and recognize them. Here are 3 things that brought me joy this week. I hope they can bring you some too. 1) Life hacks from clients: I worked with an awesome client this week who was dropping life hack bombs left and right. One of my favorites was the "yak blanket". What is this y

Garage, or Gae-raj if yo British. I don't know why we all choose the hottest days of Summer to organize our Garages, but let me tell you, we all do. I have been sorting, editing, donating and organizing garages for the past 2 weeks (including my own!). It's like hot yoga for organizers I guess? Definitely getting those steps in! Here are some tips on getting your garage in order this summer. 1) Plan for at least a full day (a weekend would be best): Even a single car garage c

Randomness! So even though I try to ALWAYS store like with like in ye ole blogge, sometimes the category of Three Things Thursday is just random new stuff that I'm excited about. I thank you for not hatin'! 1) I started a New Facebook Group (eeeeee!): I recently discovered a FB group called "Get busy sister" and it's all about women motivating others to clean their homes. I know it sounds silly, but seeing other people's messes and knowing that we all share the struggle has h

Photos! Almost every client that I work with has boxes upon boxes of "old" photos. Some clients have photos scattered in stacks in every single room, some are in albums, and some have rolls yet to be developed. And of course now we all have digital photos. WHAT TO DO WITH ALL OF IT? It can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to reduce your collection to those photos that you truly cherish and how to digitize those photos to be available to you forever. 1) Purge: Back in the d

TOYS! Do you have kids? Do they have toys? That's a joke, because of course they have toys, lots and lots of painful to step on toys. If you don't have children, you can keep reading for tips to give your slovenly parent friends on how to organize their overabundance of toys..also, you may have pets with toys, so there is that. 1) Do a family purge: I say this all the time - organizing without decluttering is just moving stuff around. So get together with your brood, take out

How's dat fridge looking? The fridge takes a lot of abuse. Open, close, open, stare, close, open. Stuff gets shoved in after a meal. SOMEHOW the jelly inevitably ends up on the bottom of the jelly jar and gets smeared around the glass shelving. I know, it defies logic. And all of those tupperwares in the back just condensating with disappointment. So how do you make your fridge as tidy as your house? Here are some tips. 1) Lazy Susans: I don't know why they call her lazy - th

Cleaning hacks and e-mail list glitches. Glitch happens. Sooooo due to a web-based computer glitch, my beautifully 2-year cultivated list of About Space e-mail recipients merged with my regular contact list, so my e-mail recipients now include my drycleaner and a boss from 2002, among others who probably don't care about 3 things Thursday (I know, #rude). So after carefully picking through over 900 contacts to try to decide who actually signed up and who did not, I hope this

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

HANG ON THIS BLOG POST IS ABOUT HANGERS... 1) Y'all are grown-ups right?

Are y'all ready to Spring forward? We'll be springing forward an hour this weekend. I love to use this time of year as a reminder to do some annual home maintenance.

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

How are your mornings? Morning time is the quickest couple of hours a day for me. How about y'all? Gone in a blink and all I have left is a cold cup of coffee. Well, I have been trying hard to prepare the night before so my morning go a little smoother. Here are some tips to lessen that AM struggle. 1) Do your 10 minute night time sweep. I know that I've mentioned this on the blog before, but if you have a home for everything, and store like with like, then it should take you

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
