Clutter Cupids

Happy Wednesday Cupids,

It was a joy to work alongside these two ClutterCupids today, organizing areas in a new client’s kitchen, on behalf of the WFWC!

Steps to organize any sized pantry:
1) Categorize it (Like things are grouped together - snacks, breakfast, baking...)
2) Contain it (Smaller items are better kept in baskets - these are from the dollar store)
3) Zone it (Put all Categorized/Contained items together in the same spot every time)

If you’re blessed with a large pantry, you can include non-food items such as small appliances, Tupperware, paper plates/cups and napkins, etc... if yours is smaller, like mine, limit items to food only to avoid clutter.

Remember to always have fun in the kitchen, no matter the task. When in doubt call a friend, she will bring a new perspective and a smile. This was the most fun I’ve had organizing a pantry for a client, because I was with my friends Lisa and Beth 😇😇.

Happy Saturday Cupids,

I haven’t posted anything here in forever... I’ve missed it! I’ve definitely been growing and learning and inching towards 1000 hours, which is what I need to take my exam and get licensed as a professional organizer. Woot Hoot!

So I opened my daughter’s desk drawer the other day to look for a rubber band and look at this! 😍 I felt joy down to my toes to know this is what she herself created and what she encounters when she opens her drawer! As a mom I’m thrilled, and as an organizer I’m over-joyed, because you see, my daughter Faith, was my very first client.

She used to put things into purses and bags and then squirrel them away and later when we’d look for whatever she was missing, we’d find it and other odds and ends. We went through the p r o c e s s of organizing a few times and from then on, she’s been a pro. So much so that she helps me with jobs.

Here’s to learning and growing and making life simpler, totally functional and beautiful.
