Andrew Poletto, host of Top Fitness Strategies, had me on his podcast recently where we talked about mindset, nutrition, running, kitchens, organizing, radio and a whole lot more! Andrew is a certified trainer, writer, speaker, entrepreneur, podcast host, son, brother and uncle. He started Top Fitness Strategies after recognizing a void in the over-50 crowd […]

Now, before you go on a shopping spree to buy cool containers and revamp your kitchen, make sure you purge what you no longer need so you buy the right number of containers. EVERY SINGLE organizing job I’ve ever worked on has produced extra containers. Why? Because the purge was not completed BEFORE the containing. […]

Trends come and go, but one that has stuck is the move toward minimalism. The Minimalists, Joshua Becker, and countless others have embarked on a lifestyle that highlights less is more. Then there’s Marie Kondo who I would say also fits into that category because you can’t have an overabundance of things that ALL spark […]

Every once in a while, I survey my readers to find out what challenges they’re experiencing when it comes to organizing in the home. This question is something I think challenges everyone, so I wanted to share some tried-and-true solutions for organizing the kitchen for healthier eating. Stacey, I would like to know if there […]

Did you know that studies show that organized people are less stressed, have increased productivity and efficiency, are less frustrated, and suffer less from depression?

We flew British Airways and we might as well have been in first-class compared to today’s airline experience. The food was served with stainless utensils on reusable plates. The snacks […]

Food nourishes our body & soul! Unlike other tasks or activities that we can potentially eliminate or cut way back on, we have to eat! Making healthy food choices can be challenging, however. With everyone overscheduled these days, it’s no wonder we struggle to make positive choices and the drive-thru can be a tempting way to […]

Creating a healthy home environment involves more than just the food we eat and the non-toxic cleaning products we use in our home. Health extends to the products we put on our skin and in our bodies!  Are your bathroom cabinets overloaded with cosmetic items to the point you couldn’t say when you purchased them?  […]

In 2004, after a period of decluttering that changed my life, I started an organizing business. The period of decluttering included filling a 2-car garage with things to donate and consign (and finally clearing it out!), I began to see things differently during the process of letting go of stuff I didn’t actually like, didn’t serve […]
