After over a year of living in our new home, I continue to feel that I am losing the battle to keep it organized. Does anyone know of someone who does this for a profession that could give me advice/help and not break the bank?

Hi W.,

I noticed Sandy personally replied and another recommendation, but I want to HIGHLY recommend you give Sandy Jones (http://www.organizedbysandy.com) a call. She even has a great blog: http://www.simplyorganizedbysandy.blogspot.com/

I've uesed her THREE times - my craft/playroom, my office & bills and my garage. I cannot tell you enough about how wonderful she is - personable, pleasant, and professional. I enjoyed the time we spent together - either working one-on-one in the office or doing my "homework" in the garage.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. ;o) And you can always tell her, D. sent you... I'm sure I'll be calling her yet again.

pick up/put away as you are finish with an item. wash a load of clothes when the laundry basket gets full... shred all junk mail immediately like when you are watching television and there's a commercial. thoroughly clean your house once a week... strip the beds and place the sheets in the washer... as they are washing, do the floors... then place the sheets in the dryer ... and as they are drying... clean the bathrooms.... load the dish washer as you dirty dishes and flip the switch before going to bed. unload the dishwasher as you are waiting for the coffee to perk or whatever.... make your husband assist you as well. it would not hurt him to load the washer/dryer/put away clothing... good luck:)

W.,

I used Sandy Jones of Simply Organized by Sandy. She was incredibly efficient, and helped me not only organize, but put processes in place that I could do myself to keep it that way. I highly recommend her.

W., I have a company with my business partner Teresa called Well Organized Living. We do home staging, re-design and organzing. We serve the metroplex and are unique because we offer many other services like handy woman work, etc. Our rate is $60/hr, which is very reasonable in this market. I have been an organizer for a little over 3 years and have a special passion for helping women. If you're interested we could do a 1-hour walkthru to get started and provide you with a written game plan. I'd love to help!
