Spring cleaning

With warmer weather comes talk of spring cleaning. Many things should be done in your home this time of the year, perfect time to get yourself organized.

What are some of the things you could be organizing:

• Your taxes and documents: it's time to file your taxes and put all the documents you have been collecting over the past year away to storage, make room for this year's papers to be filed
• Your closets: switching wardrobe from "winter" to "summer", perhaps tossing out clothes you haven't worn all winter?
• Getting your home ready for summer: perhaps moving stuff to storage or de-cluttering?

Over the next few blogs I will go through each of these items in more detail in hope to help you with your own spring cleaning! If you have any questions and organizing dilemmas in your own home feel free to email me or comment on my blog and I will be happy to help!

Home Show experience

This was the first Home Show appearance for the Professional Organizers in Canada association and my own first experience at the Home Show as an exhibitor. I have been attending the Home Show for the past few years, and this was definitely a great opportunity to experience it in a different way and to promote the association and my personal organizing business.


We had many visitors to our booth and questions and comments like "are you the guys who come to the homes and do the organizing yourselves?", "do you buy the storage boxes and stuff that I would need to organize my home?", "you guys would have a party at my house!", "I just can't part with my stuff, how could you help me, what do I need to do?".


I hope that after this Home Show, a lot more people have learned about our profession and about many ways that professional organizers can help you.
