Room to Breathe Professional Organizing

I had the chance to share a few tips with Real Simple for their article on Friday reset tasks that help you end the week on a calmer note.

My advice is to choose a "minimum viable reset," just three to five things that make the biggest difference. A long Friday checklist turns the reset itself into another source of stress. For most homes, that includes a quick 10-minute pass through the landing zones, like the entryway, kitchen counter, and dining table, where a week's worth of mail and paperwork tends to collect.

Big smile moment: I was quoted in Martha Stewart's guide on what to declutter before fall!

My favorite bit I shared: those half-used citronella candles you tuck away in a closet "just in case"? Their smell lingers into your clothes and linens all winter. Small thing, big impact once you know to look for it.

August really is a natural checkpoint. The pace slows just enough before back-to-school hits, and there's something good for the mind about closing out one season before opening the next.

Full article linked below 👇 Would love to hear what's on your own August toss list.

Real Simple Magazine asked me for my best kitchen organizing advice this week!

If your Tupperware cabinet makes you wince every time you open it, you're not alone. It's one of the most common trouble spots I see in client kitchens.

The real problem usually isn't cabinet space — it's that containers and lids quietly multiply until there's no system left to manage them.

A few things that help:

✔️ Group by how you use them (everyday, lunch, meal-prep)
✔️ Use the vertical space above your stack
✔️ A turntable for deep or awkward cabinets
✔️ When in doubt, trade mismatched pieces for one matching set

An organized kitchen isn't about perfection — it's about a space that supports your daily life.

Read the full Real Simple article for more tips from myself and a couple of fellow pros. 💚

Have you ever wondered what actually happens when you hire a professional organizer?

Many people tell me they feel embarrassed, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. They wonder:

- Do I need to clean before an organizer comes?
- Will I be pressured to get rid of things?
- What happens during an organizing session?

The truth? Professional organizing isn't about creating a perfect home. It's about creating a space that supports your life.

At Room to Breathe Organizing, I work alongside clients to create personalized systems that make homes feel calmer, more functional, and easier to maintain.
I recently shared a behind-the-scenes look at my process—from our first conversation to creating systems that truly fit your lifestyle.

Summer schedules can fill up fast. Instead of trying to do it all, choose one day each week with no plans at all.

That little bit of breathing room can make summer feel less rushed and leave space for the moments you’ll remember most.

Organizing isn’t just about managing your stuff—it’s about creating room for what matters.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life this summer, I’d love to help you find Room to Breathe.

I have some news that I've been sitting with and I'm so ready to share it with this community🏆

Room to Breathe Professional Organizing has been named Best Closet Organizer/Designer in Carroll County by Carroll Magazine! I am so deeply honored.

When I started this business, it came from a real place — knowing how much it weighs on you when your home feels out of control, and knowing the relief that comes when it finally doesn't. Getting to do that work every day, for people right here in Carroll County (and others) is a gift I don't take lightly.

This recognition belongs to every client who opened their door and trusted me. You let me see the real stuff — the overflowing shelves, the "just close that door" rooms — and together we made something that works. Thank you.

If someone in your life has been quietly struggling with a space in their home, I'd love an introduction. And if that someone is you — I'm here. 💚

Happy National Get Organized Day!

There’s something powerful about creating space—not just in your home, but in your life.

Getting organized isn’t about perfection. It’s about walking into a room and feeling calm instead of overwhelmed. It’s about knowing where things are, saving time, and making room for what truly matters.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or surrounded by “too much,” today is your gentle nudge to take one small step:
• Clear off a surface
• Let go of what no longer serves you
• Create a system that actually works for you

Remember—progress over perfection, always.

And if you’re ready for support, guidance, and a judgment-free space to reset your home… I’m here 💚
