Decorating for fall is a time-honored tradition in my life. Getting to now also assist clients with their fall decorating is just icing on the cake.
My mom taught me the importance of creating beautiful spaces. When I was growing up she was decorating without the pressures of social media. She didn't do it for views, likes, or to be trendy. She didn't care if we were the only ones who ever saw her hard work, she made it clear we were worth it. For her, decorating was simply an outpouring of her love for us as she turned our house into a home. She created a million and one unique family traditions that provided a sense of safety in their consistency and gave us an extra level of excitement as we celebrated the turning of the seasons. She taught me that adding beauty to the ordinary and celebrating the simple things in life is never a waste. 🍁🍂🧡

Organizing is an investment. In you, your family, your space, your life.

A place for everything and everything in its place😇

A little Monday motivation 😇

There are so many similarities I can draw from life to organizing. For me it's been a week, a month... months. Sometimes we face insurmountable obstacles, we get so overwhelmed, we have no idea how to even begin to get out of our messes.
But the point is simply to begin.
A life quote for me has become: "When you don't know what to do, do what you know to do."
When I'm sorting through a big pile of items at work I start by simply sorting like items into smaller piles. This quickly simplifies things into manageable bite sized pieces. If I ask a client to go through everything all at once they will quickly become overwhelmed, but if I sort first and have smaller piles ready for them they are able to stay focused in the purging and decision making process.
This week I must apply the same process to myself. I can't fix all the pressing issues I face in one day, but I can start by tackling the little ones. Slowly that huge pile becomes smaller and I can begin to see a game plan of how I might begin to tackle some of the bigger items on my list.
So this week let's jump in with both feet and chip away at the pile. Whether you make it through your whole check list or only one or two items doesn't matter, what matters is just pushing yourself to try. Celebrate the little victories, and give grace to yourself for what you can't get to yet.
