Are you Ready for Turkey Day?
Do you have a plan for Thanksgiving dinner? Or are you going to wing it? This may be your first Virtual Thanksgiving dinner, which may require a bit more coordination, but it can be done with a little planning. If we plan ahead, it will lessen the frustration level, especially for the cook(s) and for our family, friends and guests.
Keep it simple!
Let’s make some notes by answering the following questions:
- Who’s coming to dinner?
- What is the menu?
- Who’s cooking what?
- What time to zoom in?
- Etc. etc. etc.
If we can help in any way, just let us know…
A New Season…
The leaves are changing colors, and falling from the trees … Are we ready for yet ANOTHER season!
In the Beginning…
Order Your Steps LLC celebrates our 10th anniversary this year!
Here’s one of the first videos I did, to display my new found organizing gift and talent!
A New Organizing Project is Underway!
We started a new Organizing project about a month ago and we’ve made a lot of progress… but we still have a ways to go! So Stay Tuned…
A time to search and a time to give up as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away.”

I love organizing humor…
Back to School Tips
Now that most of our children are back in the classroom after over a year, I’m sure that there’s been a lot of hustle and bustle over the past few weeks. So, I thought that I should allow some time for the dust to settle and then share a few tips that might help you to fine-tune your daily routine and make managing the home a little easier.
First and foremost, I pray for your strength and patience!
Then, I’d like to make a few suggestions. Start preparing as early as you can. I would suggest that the day/night before we do the following …
- Lay out the clothes, shoes, socks, mask, etc. Leave nothing to chance. 🙂
- Prepare the lunch (or secure the lunch money) and the book bag (don’t forget the hand santizer).
- For the girls, comb the hair and tie it up.
- Bath time and Prayer.
- Remember, patience!
Then, as time allows, unwind with a cup of tea or coffee and prepare for the next day.
Make a to-do list, to include what happens after school, i.e. family time, dinner, homework, etc. Set the clock 30 min. early to allow a little extra time to snooze and time to make sure the kids get out of bed, because you may have to ask more than once. Then…. a new day begins!
- Breakfast… VERY IMPORTANT! We all need energy to get through our day. Our children need nutrition to stay focused.
- Wash, dress and get ready.
- PRAY for your kids.
- PRAY for your patience with them! They may have a rough day ahead too. Reading, Writing and ‘rithmetic can be taxing on the brain.
This day will end and another one begins. It’s called Life! Routines take practice. Things will not always go as planned, but you do need a plan. We can seek peace in the midst of our chaos OR we can have chaos in the midst of our chaos. Don’t forget to take DEEP breaths often. Try to keep the house in Order as best we can. Take each day as it comes and be the best that we can be. We must embrace our children, no matter how old they are. Know that they were entrusted to us and even when they are doing somersaults on our very last nerve, they are ours and we love them more than words can describe! All of our steps are Ordered.
I wish you all SHALOM (Peace)in your hearts and in your homes!!
Tackling Our Closet – Step II – Purging
Are you feeling a tad overwhelmed at the mere thought of “Tackling Your Closet”? Hopefully, you’ve had the opportunity to complete Step 1 of the organizing process, which is Sorting. Today, we are going to work on Step 2, Purging. We will decide what we need to keep and what really needs to go. Although this may be considered the most difficult part of the process, just stick with us and we’ll show you that it’s easier than you think.
It’s Time to ReVamp our closets and we are here to help!
Please let us know if you have any questions as we take this journey together by leaving a comment or you can email me at candy@orderyoursteps.net.
I would love to hear from you.
Please Stay Tuned, there’s even more help on the way!
Tackling Our Closet – Step I
Our overall goal is to show you that the organizing process is fairly simply, although at times, it may appear to be somewhat overwhelming. We will guide you through the entire process, one step at a time. Believe it or not, organizing has only three (3) steps:
- Sorting – We will touch every item and separate them into various categories, i.e. tops, bottoms, dresses, etc..
- Purging – We will guide the client through the decision-making process (Keep, Donate or Discard)
- Organizing – We will find the right place for all items and put the space in Order.
We will begin to tackle our closet by looking at Step 1 – Sorting!

It’s Time to ReVamp our Closets!
Spring is gone and we are deep into the heart of summer. Let’s switch gears and prepare ourselves for the Fall season, the Season of Change! It appears that people will be going back into their offices, although businesses are revisiting their work process to include a virtual option and schools are planned to reopen. With the changing times, some of us may be saying… “I just don’t need all these business clothes any more!” Although that may be true, don’t be too hasty. However, this may be a great time to sort through our closet and make sure that our more casual wear is easily assessible. But for some, it’s may be easier said than done….
Our overall goal is to show you that the organizing process is fairly simply, although at times, it may appear to be somewhat overwhelming. We will guide you through the entire process, one step at a time. After we have organized our clothes, we will be able to face our closets each morning and find what we need, when we need it!
It’s Time to ReVamp our closets from strictly business to virtual casual! But for some, it just may be the opposite, but either way, our closets need our attention and we can help!
