questions as soon as possible.
A: This is, by far, the number one question that I receive. I've been asked this so many times that I wrote a post on where and how to begin organizing your home and life.
Q: How do I decide what bins/baskets I might need?
A: Sometimes it's hard to decide what kind and how many baskets, bins, etc to purchase for a space. I always suggest measuring the space first. Write the measurements down and take the tape measure with you to the store and measure the items right in the store. Often times the baskets have the dimensions on the tags too.
Q: Where do you buy all your baskets and bins?
A: For a while, this was the number one question that I would receive, so I took the time to write an Entire Blog Post on just that.
Q: I saw some pics of rooms re-done or made over or organized for "clients", so does that mean people can hire you for your magnificent skills to help them organize their homes (who are we kidding--their lives!)? If that's the case, how do I find out more about that?
A: I have done a few jobs for clients, but I am not taking on any organization jobs at the time. I'm honored that you'd hire me. If you are truly struggling with a space, feel free to email me a few photo's and describe what it is you are trying to achieve. I'd love to give you my suggestions and ideas for your space(s).
Q: Have you done a house tour showcasing your house?
A: At the top of my blog you will see a tab called House Tour. That page will bring you to the tours of the homes that my husband and I have built. I'm continually changing our current house and do keep the tour page updated regularly.
Q: I love your mail organizer, but I can't seem to find the file folders anywhere. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.

Q: My children are 9 & 7. They bring home a number of papers every week, homework sheets, graded tests, projects, drawings, etc. They are also involved in various sports so have schedules and info about that. Can you suggest tips, direct me to your blog post or whatever to help?
