We are a professional home organizing team. Our hope is to make our clients’ homes more enjoyable and function best for them. We specialize in move-ins, space planning, organization and editing.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

Biggest challenges in my career

The nature of ever-evolving roles: mom, wife, business owner, employee, grant writer, event planner, nonprofit director and now organizational business owner. Who needs a linear resume?

One practice I use to maintain my mental health

Not over-scheduling. I am very prone to this and have had to remind myself, as a business owner, I need days/weeks of time off even though I don’t have PTO.

Best advice I ever received

Hope is not a strategy — meaning you have to take action, make a plan and then you can hope for an outcome. Sitting around hoping won’t get you very far.

Nonprofit I wish more people knew about

Abel Speaks. Our first son Thomas had Trisomy 18 and this ministry has been such a wonderful resource for us.
