Organize Essential Oils
Professional organizer Jennifer Wallace finds new products each year and we have two we want to mention from 2018. Essential oils have become common items to find in our client households. Jennifer said, “A client of mine recently bought this spice shelf for her oils. It worked great! The lip holds the oils on the shelf.”
How to Deal with Gifts You Don’t Want or Need
No More Gifts! Families Maxed Out with Gift Clutter
We all receive them, gifts we do not like, do not want, or need. Years ago, someone gave me a moose business card holder. The person who gave me this gift thought as a business owner I could use a place to display my business cards. Maybe she liked wildlife themed décor or maybe she was regifting it because she did not like it herself. Either way, I accepted the gift gracefully and never used it. No doubt we have all been in this situation.
One of our GO Organizers asked me for my advice on “How to handle gifts when you and your kids are maxed out.” It can be a challenge to find the balance between being grateful for the thought and offending family and friends by telling them not to give you any more gifts. I offer you some suggestions that may not eliminate the unwanted gift clutter, but it will certainly help you make better decisions about what you receive.

Happy 2018! It is yet another year to try to get organized in your home and with your life. Organizing your home often takes the purchase of products such as containers, bins, and baskets. Products serve to maximize space, containerize items, and give a cluttered area a polished look.
When deciding on a product purchase, we all love to read the reviews of others, or get a recommendation from someone we trust before buying it. To help guide you as the new year begins, I have asked for recommendations from our Get Organized! professional organizers and our staff members. Some of the products mentioned may not be an actual container, but could aid you in getting organized. I will share my favorite organizing tools also.
Ways to Get Your Kids to Do Chores
Tips on How to Encourage Kids to do Chores
I was recently asked to share my thoughts on helping parents find practical solutions for involving their children in chores and responsibilities around their home. Disclaimer to the parents reading this post: It takes effort, consistency and sometimes being the “bad guy” in your kid’s mind. The conversations I have regularly with parents asking for help in this area are numerous, and it has become evident to me that it is a continuing challenge for families.
Let’s talk about why having your child help around the home is so important. Over the last 20-30 years, it seems more and more parents are not requiring or teaching their children to do much around the home. Excuses for this are plenty: “the kids are too busy,” “it’s easier for me to do it myself then have the kids do it,” “they don’t do a good job,” “I just don’t like fighting with them to get them to do it,” and the list goes on.
