C&C Organizing

Annie finds her toys, and organizes her bedroom.

I'm a Professional Organizer near Lumsden, Sask.
I wrote this book to help children learn organizing skills.

"Where are my Crayons", A Learn to Organize Story,
is an illustrated story about Annie who can’t find her crayons.
Her Mom uses the opportunity to teach her how to tidy and organize her bedroom.
It is geared for 3 to 6 years old, but is helpful for older children as well.

I have soft-cover copies available, and can drop one off in Regina, or put it in the mail.

Hard cover and ebook are available online.

Overwhelmed by Clutter? A Virtual Organization session can help!

I hear it often.
People get so overwhelmed by clutter and dis-organization that they don't know where to start. Life gets busy, and changes happen quickly, which can lead to losing the bits of organization they had in place.

Is it a losing battle? NO, not at all!

Figuring out what to do, and where to start is the first thing.
Many Professional Organizers offer online Virtual sessions, to help with this process.
They'll see things in a different perspective, even through a computer or phone screen.

Suggestions and ideas can be chosen to work for you, and a plan of action will help get you motivated. Follow-up and check-in sessions will help keep you on track.

If you are struggling or overwhelmed with clutter, try a session sooner than later.

Yes, Virtual Organizing is an option!..and it works!

We'd meet over the internet, and I'd help you with whatever organizing challenges you are facing.

You'll need to do the physical work, but you could always ask a friend or family member to help, or hire someone local.

Reach out to me if you want to know more.

If you get frustrated with looking at your children’s mess day after day, then this might be what you need.

Are you tired of looking at your child’s messy bedroom?
…and then fighting with them to clean it up?

Children’s bedrooms tend to get cluttered and untidy, partly because they grow so fast and move from one interest to another. That’s a part of growing up!

Staying on top of all these new interests is challenging. One day they are into cars or dolls, and the next it’s dinosaurs or crafts. Add them all up and the accumulation happens.

What if you could teach them how to organize their stuff and get rid of the clutter?
- They would be able to put things away themselves.
- They would know what they have, and where to find it.
- Their distractions would lessen, and they could focus and enjoy each activity to the fullest.
- They would have space to play, and have friends over.

Wonderful! …right? But where do you start?

That’s why I wrote the book “Where are my crayons”, A Learn to Organize Story.

It teaches children the process of sorting and organizing their belongings.
This illustrated book is geared for 3 to 6 year olds, but even older children can take the information and apply it to their own rooms.
With a bonus section “Tips for organizing with others”, you’ll be prepared to help your children declutter and straighten up their space.

The organizing process is no secret. It takes some time and patience, but the outcome is worth it!

If you, or someone you know, needs this kind of help, my book is available in ebook, softcover, or hardcover from Amazon or other online bookstores listed on my website https://www.ccorganizing.ca/book.html

I appreciate you sharing this with others so that it can reach anyone who needs it.
Thank you so much.

Where Are My Crayons?: A learn to organize story

Do you have a dumping ground? ..a space where things go when they don’t have a home?

Lots of times it’s the basement, or spare bedroom or home office..put things there in a hurry and close the door!
Then you go to use the space, and after looking at it, you turn around and head to another room.

The space has become unusable.

How do you keep this from happening?

1) Decide on the function(s) of each room and stick to it.
2) Make some space in a storage room or closet to keep “extra” stuff until it’s needed or has a home.
3) Decide where something is going before it gets into the house.
4) Let go of something to make a spot for a new item.
5) Containerize – decide how much storage you’ll allocate to a category of items and pare down items to fit. For example: “ I’ll keep only the amount of books that fit in my bookcase”.

As you work through the items in your dumping ground, ask yourself:
- “Do I still need it?”
- “When was the last time I used it?”
- “If I let it go, can I borrow or rent it, if I need it again?”

Now, go clear that dumping ground and re-claim your space!

Need help or suggestions? Give me a call.
