: About Me

It's funny when I am asked to write about myself, I always talk about others that I am connected too. People, such as my husband and kids, because they do make up a big part of who I am, busy and a care taker. Aside from that I am a business woman, I own a company named Organized Home. I am a professional organizer for homes and business, this included moving/relocation services, home staging and design. I started this business 5 years ago and absolutly love it. Not only have I formed and grown my business, I have formed and grown as a person also. I grew up in the Chicago land area and now live in Grand Rapids Michigan. Although I do like living in Grand Rapids, my heart belongs to Chicago. That is why I do much of my business there.

I have always enjoyed being creative. As of most people, certain subjects in school were tough for me, but I alway excelled to creative writing, art and desgn. Here in is where my passion lies. It is amazing how time can soar when you are doing something you love. It allows me to be a better mother, friend and human being to those around me. I hope you enjoy my articles, they are written to help all of us in this crazy busy world we live in.

Do you have difficulty opening or shutting your kitchen drawers? How about finding what you need in those drawers? Are there batteries and paperclips next to the measuring cups and skewers? This simple project tackles one area in our kitchen that tends to be a dumping zone. So, turn on some music, grab a cup of Joe and lace up those running shoes. It is time to get to work! To get started you will need; 1. Three boxes or bins, marked KEEP, DONATE, and TOSS.
