Pretty Organiz’d

09/06/2023

Today is a bittersweet day for me… it’s the last day my business will be open. I made the decision a few weeks back to listen to my body and do what’s best for my physical health. And things have moved way faster than expected. I applied for a position last Thursday and got a call the same day for an interview on Friday. Yesterday I received an offer from Parker High School as a Special Education Paraprofessional. I accepted and start there tomorrow! I am so excited about this new adventure! Over the years, I have taken 60 college credits but never completed my degree. I finally am able to use those credits towards something and it feels so good and so right!

Many of you that know me personally know that my son Ryan has Aspergers syndrome (high-functioning autism) and we were in the special education system in Dane and Rock counties for over 14 years until he graduated in 2013. I was always so grateful to the SPED teams at all of his schools for working so hard to help him get to where he is today! And now I get to be on a team to help another parent with their child’s education. That makes my heart so happy! 🩵

To all of the families that supported my business and allowed me into their homes and their personal lives, I can never tell you how grateful I am for you and can never thank you enough. It has truly been my pleasure working with you all!

To all of my family and friends, thank you for believing in me and supporting me on the good and bad days.

And to my hubby, there literally are no words I can say that could ever thank you enough for your love and support the last two years… Thank you for working on your days off to help me complete big jobs and buildouts even when you were exhausted… Thank you for always being by my side and for your encouraging words! You truly are a great man!

Now in the words of my bestie yesterday, I am going to “GO BE GREAT”! Time to start the next chapter in my story… ✏️

Ok y’all! Just had to share my latest coffee bar update… new coffee syrup labels! This was a free upgrade as I have a Dymo Labelwriter 450 thermal printer that I use for organizing jobs. These are just shipping labels turned vertically. Just peeled the labels off of my Skinny Syrups (some were much easier than others were), cleaned the bottle with Dawn dish soap, wiped down with rubbing alcohol and then printed and added the labels. I think it definitely looks much cleaner with uniform labels (last picture shows original labels)… ☕️

Do you like the minimalist look?

So I did a 4 hour mini pantry refresh for one of my cleaning clients over the weekend while they were out of town. Decided that a bin system, grab-n-go snack station and minimalist labeling would be the best solutions for this busy on-the-go family. I think it turned out amazing! Wishing my shelves were wider so I could do this in my own pantry! 🩵

Who else is obsessed with on TikTok? 💦🩵💦

Tuesday Tip: Check out your local thrift shops for organizing solutions for around your home. I found these 3 wide magazine holders for $3 each at our Goodwill here in town. This style usually sell for between $8-12 each new retail. Perfect for those magazines that I love to keep for decorating references! 🩵

What’s everyone else up to today? I’m just folding laundry while binge watching Get Organized with The Home Edit and drinking a DIY S-bux keto pink drink! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🧺🥤

Due to mental health reasons, effective immediately, I will be shifting the focus of my business to residential cleaning only at this time and will not be taking on any additional organizing jobs. I will be reaching out to those individuals that are currently quoted to complete those jobs.

I appreciate your understanding as I am working through and processing a recent and difficult diagnosis. This has been a difficult decision to make as I love what I do and love all of my clients, but one that is absolutely necessary for my mental health.

Quick and easy DIY laundry basket tower… Built this awesome piece for my son’s new house in about two hours using scrap lumber that he had in his basement. Such a great way to make use of vertical space and organize at the same time! 🧺

To say that I am super proud of the hard work, long hours and love that my hubby and I put into this project for our clients is an understatement! From the custom built bookcases and mantle to the fresh paint on the fireplace doors and tile, this was definitely a labor of love. The bookcases alone have about 20 hours into just the upper build, and this is in addition to my hubby’s full time job. I can never say thank you enough and am so grateful for this man’s willingness to help me with my client’s projects and making their spaces not only beautiful but more functional for them. I think this space turned out absolutely amazing and gave our clients some much needed lighting and hidden storage in the process. It also made their family room look so much larger. We hope you love your space and are so thankful to have you as our clients! 🤍

Ok y’all! I am so excited! Picked up my new 3D wood sign this evening from Custom Expressions here in Janesville! They do absolutely amazing work! It is so amazing, y’all! Special thank you to Autumn Ferreira for recommending them.

This playroom was lacking some much needed storage. Our clients were super excited with their new space that includes a large table for the kids to do Legos, puzzles and artwork, and a reading nook with some comfy beanbags. We also did sorted Lego bins by color. I also surprised them with a custom sign that goes along with the theme of the room and the kid’s artwork on the gallery wall… 🎨
