One of the best ways to achieve your goals, whatever they might be: launching a business, finding balance in life, starting a diet, being a better parent, or getting your home organized is through finding a person to hold you accountable. I can’t talk enough about the benefits of having someone checking on you, on your plans and goals and making sure you will work hard to achieve them.
A very popular post on the blog last year was a clutter-free gift guide, and that is why we decided to bring it to you again. The 2018 holiday gift guide edition brings you some new and old experiences and services in the area.
I love putting this guide together because, during the year, I see so many people struggling with clutter or even just finding space to store new things could be a battle.
I have learned so much this past month about how to recycle right and also be a more conscious customer, thanks to #plasticfreejuly. During this period, our local newspaper published an article about how the recycling process is in our city. Now I realize that I was just putting in the recycling bin all the things I wished could be recycled. I was “wishcycling”!
I still remember all the things I did to get ready for my first baby, over 4 years ago now. Today I realize that, sometimes, new parents overthink things. I was no exception! I remember reading every single line of the book “what to expect when you’re expecting”. My husband and I would check what size our baby was by the end of each week, what food was okay to eat, etc.
It is the season for lots and lots of time outdoors. Let’s organize your backyard for great Summer gatherings! Check out the tips I gave at WBALTV 11 News, to get your backyard ready for Summer parties. I also wrote a guest blog post for Live Abode on the same subject! I hope you enjoy it!
I love a DIY project and this one, using chalk paint, is very simple! A couple years ago I got a desk to use as our drop off zone by the front door. This beauty came from the second chance store, and we paid just $20 for it. My goal has always been to paint it, but you know how life is, so many things come up, so many other projects need our attention. It wasn’t just until now that I finally got it done!
I am not a fashionista by any meaning! I am probably closer to the opposite of that. My wardrobe has always been very basic and small. However, with the help of my friend Fathia Savory, and by following many wonderful local fashion bloggers on Instagram, I think I am getting better at it.
Plan your Master Closet to suit your lifestyle. Di Ter Avest, Professional Organizer helps her clients to create the best organizations systems to fit their budget, space, and decor. In this post, you will check some IKEA products she used to transform this busy mom’s closet so she can always pick her best outfits even when she is a rush to leave the house with two small kids.
There are so many reasons why to hire a professional organizer that I thought I could share some of my thoughts and testimonials with you.
Not long ago, I had a client mentioning that she was reluctant to call for help because it felt like she had failed. The idea of a professional organizer felt like therapy! She was overwhelmed and didn’t know how to fix her home. Do you relate to that?
“What would Di is Organized do?” is a new video series on our Facebook Page where we will choose one space per month, from a follower, to give customized tips on how to organize it!
