Before and After
One of the biggest hurdles we face as professional home organizers is actually getting into clients homes. One of the most common responses we get when we tell people what we do is "oh I'd NEVER have you to my house - it's too much of a mess! People are often too embarrassed by the … [Read more...]
The Latest
It's funny, right now my life is completely focused on one thing - my mom. I am honestly having trouble focusing or even caring that much about anything else. It is amazing how things that seemed so important a few weeks ago suddenly just don't. I think one person only has the emotional capacity to … [Read more...]
Oh, I’m Losing It, All Right!
First things first: I lost 0.6 pounds last week, which puts me under 180 lbs, which is where I wanted to be. Well, if you want to get technical, I weigh 179.6 which would actually be 180 if you were rounding up, but I (and Weight Watchers, incidentally) am not, so there. So, whew, that's just over 7 … [Read more...]
Suffering is Suffering
Wow, this is hard. I know my mom is sick because of the Interferon treatment but, as a wise mom at hockey said to me, "suffering is suffering". It's true. No matter the reason, when someone you love is in pain it hurts. My mom has been experiencing extreme side effects from her treatment … [Read more...]

I am down 3.6 pounds this week, which brings me to 180.2 - next weigh-in I will be back in the 170s fo sho! Oh yeah, oh yeah...(excuse me while I … [Read more...]
Teaching Kids about Money Makes Good Cents
Money. It's something we all eventually earn and use, but often without much guidance or training. Although its face value is covered in school, wouldn't it have been nice if someone had given you a few lessons on how to handle money when you were young? While it may be impossible to travel in time, … [Read more...]
Inspiration. Aspiration. Expiration?
It's an odd thing, this desire to write. More to the point: to write and to be published. So many of us have it, and so few succeed. Are we drawn to criticism, failure and self-punishment? Or is the drive to express oneself and have that expression validated by others somehow universal? I often … [Read more...]
Five Irrelevant (but interesting) Things I learned at McDonald’s International Media Days
I am currently overwhelmed by information. The last few days were spent listening to leaders from McDonald's and learning about all of the cool things happening around the world. We visited the Innovation Centre, were lucky enough to sample some of the unique menu items developed for different local … [Read more...]
