I took a break from home organizing & efficiency consulting this afternoon to celebrate Earth Day by taking a walk with a cherished friend. 🌳👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 is a certified life coach who helps moms feel great on the inside, so they can enjoy their lives, kids, and families. 💗 Connecting with Rebecca always makes me feel grounded, and today’s sunshine was the cherry on top. 🍒🌞Sessions with her are virtual, so my former clients & community in Boston’s MetroWest can benefit from her assistance just like my clients & neighbors on Cleveland’s East Side.💻I invite you to give her a follow!

At Apple Pie Home Organizing, every month is Earth Month; recycling support is my *favorite* part of this work. This week, I helped a client tidy her kitchen, and we created space where it was needed by passing these vases (all of which measure under 10”) on to , which will use them to spread cheer and comfort throughout Greater Cleveland. Initiatives like theirs, which are kind to our community and our planet, are what this world needs. (Yes, glass jars count!)

One of the hardest categories of items to organize in a home is keepsakes, and, for parents and caregivers of children, deciding whether to keep a child’s project is fraught.

✨My advice: ask the kid.✨

When I speak with my own children, I ask “Should we keep this, or was the joy in the making?” Often, the answer is the latter, and it’s the fun memory we hold onto, and, maybe a photo. Try it and let me know how this approach works for you! 🍎🥧

Let’s call this one “A Wrinkle in Time.” Original, no? 📕🚀🪐 A bit of a self-portrait, too! 🤳 This is me, using the time change as an opportunity to showcase some of the efficiency work I do with my clients. 💁🏻‍♀️ It’s not always as “Instagrammable” as the organizing, but it helps the busy people have more time for the people and pastimes they enjoy. 👏🏿🙌🏻👌🏾 And, on mornings like this one, that pastime might be snoozing… 😴

Curious? Hit me up for a free consultation and let me help you incorporate simple systems that will streamline your responsibilities so you can live your life more fully! (See what I did there?😉) ⏳

What is it like to work with me? A picture says a thousand words.📸

This recent project had three goals:

1. labeling everything in my clients’ garage, for easy retrieval, 🔍

2. creating a walkway from the driveway to the house, ahead of the arrival of inclement weather, ☃️

3. packaging items in durable containers, to assure they remain in good condition.✅

Despite being filled to the brim, it took less than an hour for me to clear a path to the door. Stepping inside, I removed my shoes because, as I always tell my clients “no shoes in my house, no shoes in yours!”🚫👟

As is often the case, my client was not home while I worked, so we communicated via text. I always encourage my clients to ignore my messages until there’s a break in their day and it’s convenient for them to touch base. Often, my texts are accompanied by photos I’ve marked up, like the one in Slide 4, where I have scribbled in an arrow to show her where her ironing board can be found.↙️

During my work, I discovered these cute little pumpkins, which are perfect Fall décor! I sent her the photo in Slide 5, to let her know they were on her kitchen counter, ready to make her house look festive!🎃🎃🎃🎃

With my client’s permission, I took her wall art home to see whether I could remove an errant sticker by heating the adhesive with a hairdryer and it worked! Now, we can touch it up with a little gold paint and it’ll be good as new! Better for the planet and her wallet, too! ♻️🚫💸

The final slide was taken towards the end of my work, when the aisle was clear for walking and everything was in “apple-pie order.” 🍎🥧

Why a post of a garage “clicker,” you ask? Oh, because it means a lot more than that: this, Dear Community, is a symbol of trust. My client put it in my hands on the first day of an extended project, telling me to come and go as I saw fit, expressing, in that gesture, her confidence in me as an organizer and a person. So grateful. 👋🏽🔐🍎🥧🙌🏻🥹

(And, yes, those leaves were even prettier and more festive in person. ☀️🍂🥰)

One way I help my clients “make time for the people and pastimes they enjoy” is by sharing tips for streamlining home life, and two reliable ways to do this are: 1. getting the whole family’s buy-in, and 2. implementing simple systems that make life, well, simpler. ⏳🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏼⌛️

Everyone likes ticking items off their to-do lists, and that includes kids, grandparents, nannies, helpful neighbors, and maybe, even, you! ✅✅✅ And, personalized, laminated checklists are simple to reuse and gratifying to boot! 🥾😆

When we sit down to talk about your day, we troubleshoot the more hectic moments, like getting children rallied for activities and frenzied family meals. Today, I sat down with a client to identify pressure points in her family’s routine and how they might flow better. 🪢⛵️⛲️ In six weeks, we’ll reconnect to see how things are going, retool as needed, and focus on other logistical logjams! 🪵🛑

Last week, I worked with a client who asked how best to organize receipts, and the answer is as simple as A-B-C. ✅🗃️ Most of our mental clocks are about as sharp as those in The Persistence of Memory😵‍💫⏳, but we never forget where we scored a good deal or a prized treasure🤩🎯! Because she had plenty of space in her home office filing cabinets, we made hanging files for every letter of the alphabet. Easy as (apple) pie! 🗂️😉 This way, she’ll be able to quickly locate receipts from the Apple Store 🍏, Zale’s 💍, and everything in between! 🙌🏿👌🏻👏🏽 When their belongings have intuitive, designated “homes,” my clients spend less time looking and more time living, which is always my goal! 🍎🥧🥰

Dearly Beloved, we all know where the Raspberry Berets should be kept (by the door) but what about these strawberry pants? 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏻🍓👖 Having a knowledgeable home organizer means that one of these will cozy up in a drawer with the other pjs and one will find a home among your child’s plethora of petite pants. Wager a guess as to which are jammies? 🤔🎰 When we help you make more room for joy—and berry-colored clothing—we bring a sense of humor and some plum life experience. (We’ll stop now🤭.)🍎🥧💜🧑🏽‍🎤

A core tenant of my work is to help and never judge. And, I *mean* that, not only because it’s the right way to approach this work but because I am my own client sometimes, and I try to treat myself with kind understanding too! 💞 Today, my daughter and I unearthed eight pairs of sunglasses that are too small for her, in a house we’ve only lived in for a single summer. 🤷‍♀️♾️🕶️ As we embark on this second summer, we wanted her room to reflect our easy breezy attitude to this carefree season, so we made room for more joy! ☀️⛵️🍎🥧

Recycling Support is one of my very favorite parts of this job! 🍏🥧♻️ I *love* finding ways to make it easy to be green! 💚🐸

As an eco-friendly organizer, I thoughtfully dispose of goods my clients no longer wish to keep. More often than not, that translates into supporting community members in need, propping up small business, and participating in creative programs with planet-centered priorities! 🥰🏘️🌏🍎🥧

Contrary to our natural proclivities, a kitchen does not, have to house *all* of your infinite collection of coffee mugs (or flower vases, or drinking glasses…). Even the thirteen pictured here might be too many, but that depends on how often you wash the dishes, how many people are in your family, and how frequently you host coffee hour or welcome houseguests. Your kitchen will grow the minute duplicates are removed and whenever we organize a kitchen, we carefully package, label, and relocate spares where they can easily be retrieved when they are needed (which might be never again!). If you truly have too many, we will help donate your surplus, so those in need can make use of them. All your favorites stay close at hand, but now you’ll have room for more joy!
☕️♾️🍎🥧👌🏽🙌🏿👏🏻
