If you don’t have room inside for a mudroom, the wall near your door to the garage is a great spot to create one! In this space I added shelving and hooks to hang those bags.

Are you prepared to grab and go in the event of an emergency or natural disaster? According to a 2023 FEMA survey, half of Americans are not. Some have assembled disaster supplies (48%) or made a plan (37%), but the least common actions were planning with neighbors and getting involved in their community.

As a garage expert who has worked in hundreds of Northern California garages / homes, I can tell you at least 70% of the garages we’ve worked in DO NOT have an emergency supply section. Or if so, it’s minimal at best. Moving forward, this is a topic I will be recommending to our families.

The So Cal wildfires and other recent natural disasters serve as a reminder that one of our most important tasks this new year is ensuring your most important documents, memories and items are ready to go. In an instant. And that you’re prepared with food, water, first-aid and other necessities.

Being prepared does not take a lot of time or effort...but IT DOES require your attention to get there.

Over the last couple days in stories I’ve been sharing how I’ve scanned and organized important papers and how you can do the same. I’ll continue sharing more on this topic as well as digitizing your photos and preparing supplies for an emergency.

Meanwhile, one of our favorite weather-tight bin collections is 25% off. I’ve noticed The Container Store generally puts these on sale after a natural disaster. They have super strong latches and a urethane foam seal to ensure your belongings remain safe from moisture, dust and pests. I like the file box which is a great bin for placing important papers, passports and more so you have something to grab and go.

You can see these bins in use in these projects.

I’m thinking of everyone in Southern California who has been affected and our first responders working round the clock.

Paper Organizing - Part 4!

In this video I'm sharing the organized after of my 2 home office filing drawers. I'm talking about my simple adhesive labels and what to do with those manuals too!

I'm sharing this little series in light of the devastating wildfires in So Cal. In a moments notice, are you prepared to grab exactly what you need and run out the door? Let's get focused on this VERY important organizing task!

Paper Organizing - Part Three!

I'm sharing this series because it was on my January 2025 organizing list, but the So Cal fires quickly made this task jump to the top of the list!

In this part I am sharing a couple questions I recceived from my IG stories. I'm sharing this series in real time.

I'm also linking my pro grade scanner and the items I use to file the papers I am keeping.

Organizing the paper in my office - Part 2!

I already had my home office as a part of my 2025 decluttering agenda, that included finally going through my two file drawers, which hadn't been touched in about 3 years. In light of the devastating wildfires in So Cal, this quickly jumped my list. I'm sharing my pro grade scanner in this post as well.

More to come in this series, including a close up view into HOW I scan and digitally organize my files.

Happy new year! Giving you a quick little tour of my Decluttered and organized closet! I’m so thrilled to have this project completed as we head into the new year. I’ll be back soon to share more about the spaces. I’ve been decluttering and organizing in our own home!

#LTKWatchNow #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

The most wonderful time of the year = post-holiday decluttering!

If you’re feeling the urge to declutter (aka - tear your house apart), you’re not alone.

Decluttering is a natural pattern in life as we head into a new year. As we come out of a season of abundance and one where we filled our homes with lots of new items - whether we wanted them or not (lol!) - the feeling of overwhelm / where to begin is real.

This is how a certified professional organizer successfully declutters in my own home.

The goal is to make this process simple. Not complicated.

1. MAKE A LIST: Don’t jump in right away or without a clear plan. Start by making a list and make it thorough. You can even break down your spaces into sub-spaces. For example, your kitchen can be broken down into drawers, cabinets, the pantry, the fridge and freezer, etc.

2. TAKE ONE SPACE AT A TIME: And work on it to completion. I mean, all the way done! Do not move onto another space without finishing what you started.

3. BE REALISTIC: How long can you work or how much energy do you have in the tank to work on something today? If you only have time or energy for a small set of drawers, choose that. If you have time and energy for a larger space, like your closet, focus on that. And again … to completion.

4. TAKE NOTES: Are you getting rid of old dingy towels? Make a note of how many you need and then place the order. Are you getting rid of expired medicine or pantry foods? Make a note and purchase them. Do you need better drawer cabinet or closet organizers? Make a note take measurements and then purchase.

5. CLEAN: Clean as you go or at the end of processing your entire space.

6. GET RID OF YOUR ITEMS: Don’t let your decisions linger. Let them go and drop them off. See it through to the end and honor all the work that you accomplished.

More to come! 🥂

My absolute favorite pet hair roller is on sale! It is currently 30% off and less than $20! I love using this on client projects and in my own home. I love that it is lightweight, portable, cleans multi-surfaces and removes hair from virtually everything. I also love that this is not a roller with disposable adhesive sheets. Those are so wasteful and this just simply picks up all the pet hair, collects it in the roller, and you can easily discard and then start cleaning again.
