(Please Note - Mac users need to be sure to open the editable files in Adobe Reader, as Mac's can read a PDF file without needing Adobe Reader, but the editable areas may become off centered if they aren't opened correctly.)

FREQUENTLY ASKED ORGANIZING QUESTIONS:
Q: What would you say is the best way to start becoming more organized?
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.
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.
A: I haven't seen the file folders at Target for a long time now. The folders are made by Real Simple, if that helps at all.
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?
A: I have 4 boys in school and sports too, so I know how it can get. It certainly can be overwhelming at times. That's exactly why I've created my child message center prints. To help calm the clutter of children's paperwork and to keep their schedules organized. You can find all the message center prints that I've designed in my Etsy Shop. Simply add your photo(s) to the print, frame in your favorite glass picture frame and write directly on the glass with a dry or wet erase marker.
Q: I love your child homework area with the wall hooks for backpack. Do you sell the backpack holders?
A: No, I do not sell the backpack holders, BUT I do give you a tutorial on how to make them Right Here.
Q: How do I calm the clutter of papers, magazines and other items that consistently find their way to my kitchen counter?
A: I suggest creating a home command center. I've given many ideas on where to begin in this post here.
