Blog Talk Radio with Julie Verleger & Me!
Organizing kids and their stuff was the topic today on Blog Talk Radio with Julie Verleger of The Organized Home. I was a bit nervous as this was my first time on Blog Talk Radio but I had a good time and hopefully didn’t sound like too much of a dork.
Q & A with Rubbermaid – I’m on their blog!
Jim over at Rubbermaid asked me to participate in their Professional Organizer Q & A on their blog (Adventures In Organizing). Of course! How could I not – especially considering how important Rubbermaid is in my business, not to mention how great everyone is over there. I love tweeting with them! Please go check out […]
Thinking of burying a St. Joseph statue? Go green with EcoJoe!
One of the women I’m on twitter with (@cindylinsf) sells a product called “EcoJoe”. For some reason I always thought it was something to do with hemp, t-shirts or coffee, never having actually looked at her website.
Friends Don’t Give Friends Clutter For Christmas
An off the cuff tweet has morphed into a full blown post about clutter and the holidays! In fact, my tweet “Friends don’t give friends clutter for Christmas” was Rubbermaid’s “Tweet of the Week“! I was at TJ Maxx today looking for some tights to go with a dress for an upcoming holiday party and […]
Stinky smells in a home for sale & my quotes in The Tennessean yesterday . . .
I had a nice call last month from a local reporter doing a story about smells in a home for sale. It’s a major concern in a lot of houses. Smells are one of the biggest turn offs for so many buyers and one of the things that home owners rarely address primarily because, well, they don’t notice them.
Always Learning . . . Organizing Conference in Washington DC
October 17th was highly anticipated by me, and was just as much fun (and as educational) as I’d hoped. The Washington DC NAPO Chapter was hosting its 11th annual Professional Organizer Conference (MARCPO) and I made it a priority to go. Of course, it helped that I had family in the area so I could […]
Barbies, Legos & Crayons, Oh My!
Attack of the Runaway Playroom! Playrooms can be a fabulous part of your home, but for so many people, they can quickly become a nightmare. Kids aren’t naturally inclined to put things away, and most of the time when a playroom is set up – things either are just sort of set around for kids […]
Bills, Pills & Gold Records: Identity & safety concerns when selling.
I’ve had the “deer in the headlights” look from clients so many times when I explain to them the need for privacy in their home when it is on the market. I don’t want to scare them, but it is really important to de-personalize the house.
Hey, Listen To Me When I’m Giving A Staging Consult!
I had a client recently for a staging consult. It was a nice little condo, vacant, that had been on the market for about a year. The client’s ex-wife actually called me in as he was a bit resistant.
How Many Bottles Of Salad Dressing Are In Your Pantry?
Pantry Organization made simple… I recently organized a pantry with a client and she had a lot of bottles of salad dressings & marinades. A lot. She kept buying them because she couldn’t tell how many she already had, and, you know, they were on sale. I see this often – not just in pantries […]
