Organizing is simply as means to an end
I don’t know about you, but the promise of warmer weather has me motivated to get moving on spring cleaning projects. The first was to organize my garage so we could get to our gear as soon as the weather breaks. The bikes are ready, the tennis racquets handy and beach gear packed–so there’s some wishful thinking there, [...]
Let’s face it: Filing sucks! Most people just can’t stand it. Mainly because they don’t know what to do with all that paper—and even if you do know what to do with it, most likely it’s the last thing on your list. The upside: Once it’s done, the feeling of accomplishment is priceless!! One of [...]
No matter where you live, there’s always the threat of a natural disaster. The recent disaster in Japan is a good reminder that knowing where our important papers live is critical to peace of mind. It’s about being able to locate what you need when you need it. No need to panic. Here are some steps to [...]
Last week, my longtime friend (since second grade!) Jeanne and I arranged to meet for lunch. Although we don’t see each other regularly, she’s one of those people whose friendship remains a constant and we pick up where we left off—every time! Our life situations have changed over the years: My children are beyond Cheerios [...]

It’s easy to get discouraged and forget the moments when you’ve really helped someone to gain clarity and [...]
We all know by now that moms make most of the major decisions for a family–85% according to a stat posted at She-conomy.com. We are also the leaders of our families. As the CEO, we steer the proverbial ship. To run a household and be a successful leadership, it takes goals and getting your family on [...]
Organizing your entry hall can be simple. You’ll need a place for your keys, shoes, jackets and bags (hand bag, diaper bag, project bag, etc.). If you have a hall closet, use it. Hang jackets, use top shelf for a couple of baskets to hold gloves/mittens/scarves or goggles, bathing suits, and suncscreen for warm-weather months. [...]
When I first saw the “Keep Calm and Carry On” slogan, I thought that it was a great reminder to not stress. The slogan was developed at the beginning of WWII to strengthen morale of the troops. More than one million copies were issued, but only two actually exist today. The slogan was never used [...]
It’s really a shame that the mere thought of April 15th always puts people in a panic! Year after year, many stress over this time of year, when with a few simple strategies and less than 5-10 minutes a day, tax-time could be a welcomed time of the year.
