Hi, I’m Susan. I help busy people make the space and time for what’s really important to them.

Life is busy and chaotic enough, your solutions should be simple and work for you.

Maybe I feel this way because I’ve moved into more than 25 homes in 12 states and 3 foreign countries. I’m a professional organizer, veteran and military spouse. I love organizing our busy life with 3 children, a dog and leopard gecko.

You’ll find simple ideas for organizing, crafting, repurposing, parenting, and much more.

TESTIMONIALS

I took your advice from your blog and have been purging ever since… so thank you for that. “

“I can’t thank Susan enough for her help when we moved to Virginia. It was overwhelming. There was stuff everywhere and I didn’t know where to start. Susan started in the kitchen. Rather than do it all for me, she taught me how to choose what went where based on what I found functional. She said, ‘Think about where you want something to be when you need it.’ She had me setting up my kitchen (with her at my side) in no time. She also taught me to just get rid of the duplicates of kitchen utensils that sit unused. The kitchen is still set up the way it was when Susan left and I have never seen a need to change it. I used that method throughout each room. If I were looking for something, where would I naturally go? What did I need within reach? Where would the kids put their school stuff in their new home?”

“I tried to stuff three households into my 1500 sq. ft. place and for someone that is already disorganized and with a full plate of paperwork obligations for work and home, I found myself in a very problematic situation. Susan was great—she worked with me through virtual appointments to help me organize with what would work best for me, given my space, style, and the way I think. Sure, it would have worked using her style of organization; however, she wanted to promote sustainability—using the way I think would be a way to keep it going. I can’t say enough about how Susan helped and got me on the path.”

“Susan’s ‘Perfect Bin’ was SO inspiring and I covered a box right away; plus I have others planned!”
