Have you struggled to organize your husband’s closet? Then Watch & Be AMAZED!!
OK! … Allow me to explain 
! As I stated, I’ve been married for a long time and during the early years of our marriage, I was very diligent in organizing my husband’s closet. I would hang up all his clothes and make sure that all the shirts & jackets were facing in the same direction. I would separate the dress pants from the jeans and make sure that all his shoes were lined up properly.
THEN….. Within a week, the closet would be in complete disarray and out of order!!! But guess what!?!?, the organizer in me, YES! would organize it again! I thought that my husband didn’t truly understand how important an organized closet was and after he tried it for a little while, he would realize how much easier his life would be?!?!?!
WELL …. after years of frustration, trying to make it work, I admitted defeat!
SO… This video was meant to help many of you, who are still trying to make it work and organize the husband’s closet. Take the advice of an expert, you do have some choices:
I hope that this video/post has helped someone out there. At times, you just have to pick your battles and this may be one that’s not worth fighting!!!!!!
If you still need to talk about it, just give me a call! 😀

On Memorial Day, I decided to organize my garage… against my husband’s better judgment. . Although I was unable to really get rid of a LOT of stuff, my husband did agree to throw some of his things away, especially since for the most part, he had forgotten he had some of it??? In spite of my boundaries, I was able to establish some semblance of Order!
Please let me know what you think….

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FAITHFUL ORGANIZERS, AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF CHRISTIAN PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZERS, TO LAUNCH IT’S 1ST ANNUAL MARCH INTO SIMPLICITY CHALLENGE!
TORRENCE, CA (February 12, 2016) – Faithful Organizers, an international group of Christian Professional Organizers, is launching their first organizing challenge to the public. March Toward Simplicity will run the entire month of March with the exception of Sundays. Each day, participants will be challenged to complete a small organizing task to help simplify their lives. Members of the organization are encouraging their clients and affiliates to participate in the challenge as way to motivate them to address their clutter in small chunks and to maintain the systems they have in place.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for people to be part of something big,” says Jean Furuya, Faithful Organizers executive director. “Getting organized ranks 4th in New Year’s resolutions. This challenge will motivate participants to do a quick, daily project to see how simple it is to accomplish even the smallest of tasks. We are addressing several different aspects of organization including time management, productivity and household clutter. It is our hope that the feeling of success will continue beyond the challenge to where organizing becomes a daily activity.”
Plan 30 minutes for each task and set your timer!!
You can also access the daily challenges through a link on the Faithful Organizers website: http://www.faithfulorganizers.com and om their Facebook page: Facebook.com/Faithful Organizers.
Sun sculpture at Minn. Inst. of Arts
Aunt Susie’s house is always immaculate, but she seems to always give me the weirdest gifts. Last year, she gave me a bright yellow scrulpture of the sun. I am not sure why, I guess she liked it and thought that I would too. Of course, I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. Aunt Susie visits me once every three (3) years and I must set it out so that she can see it…. Need I say more???? Consider this, “Aunt Susie, I loved the bright yellow scrulpture of the sun, so much that I gifted it to the children’s museum and it’s on display. Next time you visit we must go see it. (I am not suggesting that we lie … now we simply have to find a museum to take it! :-D)
I am not suggesting that we hurt anyone’s feelings, but as a professional organizer, I go into so many homes that have really nice gifts that they were given that they just can’t give away. The clients has had “it” for so many years, that he person may have even forgotten that they gave it to them. The holidays are here and here are just a few questions that we should ask ourselves.
If the gift(s) was /were memorable, it should been wore, at least once… or on display for everyone to see. Do we know where the gifts are or are they still in the box somewhere? I know that we don’t always get the gifts that we want or like, but if we continue to accummulate them and simply store them away, eventually even the person that gifted it to us may notice… or maybe not?
Now I have another question… Do our children remember what they got for Christmas last year or the year before? That’s a whole different post of its own!!! LOL !!! 😀
Here is the latest episode of our “This is How we Do It’ video series, entitled “Creating a Living Space”.
As you will see, we are turning the bar area into her dresser/vanity. Therefore, we will be looking for organizers similar to these for her makeup and jewelry.

Hope you Enjoy!!
We welcome your comments & questions….
Since the beginning of the year, I have received calls from potential clients that were looking for professional organizing assistance. I truly understand what it takes for a woman (primarily) to decide that she just can not do it on her own. The clutter and disorder has become overwhelming. Unfortunately, once we have had a discussion, they have to pass it by their husbands and the husbands are just not buying it!
It is very difficult to explain that organizing is not simply cleaning. So typically, the husbands feel that the wives should be able to just clean up the mess and be done with it. But unfortunately, it is just not that easy. As we shared in my post, The Pyschology of Clutter, clutter can affect our relationships, our health, and our ability to enjoy life. Clutter can also create a sense of hopelessness, and can even contribute to depression and other mood disorders*. In all fairness, some women don’t realize the impact that clutter and disorder has on our lives either.
May I suggest to men & women alike, please allow us the opportunity to come into the home and discuss professional organizing and the services that we provide. Our initial assessment is FREE! But, believe it or not, it is a LOT more than just about the money$$$. It is about peace, order and well-being in the home. I truly believe that you will not only be able to see the difference, but you will be able to FEEL the difference. The results will be well worth the investment!
