Happy 90th Birthday to this sweet tech savvy lady.

She was 82 when she was texting me Pinterest photos from her Apple Watch on how she wanted her Otterbein SeniorLife apartment to look.

Still sharp, beautiful and well celebrated!

Found fun things in this client’s many collections to help make her new apartment at All Seasons Retirement Community feel like home.
Thank you Kari Grady, Need to Organize LLC, for bringing me on board.

Mementos:
A former client passed away and her daughter invited me to come and pick a penguin from her collection.
I love that I have this memento of her…a woman that demonstrated a positive attitude and continued to educate herself til the end.
Rest in peace my friend!

Loved Re-Nesting pieces from this living room and putting them into this new independent living apartment at Otterbein (formerly Vista Grande Villa).

Thanks to Jake Hall and his A Plus Moving team for getting all of this stuff out of an attic so my clients can comb through their stored memories.

"Home decor waste: Making sustainable choices"

This is a great article in the Detroit News Homestyle Section.
If you don't have a subscription you can at least read the first paragraph and get the gist of it.
I have worked in many homes and sadly cheap trendy things end up going to donation. I believe in more sustainable decor.

Over 26 billion pounds of home decor go to U.S. landfills annually. Learn how to make more sustainable choices.

Thank you NAPO Michigan for asking me to participate in this panel discussion. Always great to reflect and share what I have learned.

February Chapter Meeting!
📣 Sticky Situations: How to “UP Your Game” as a Competent, Professional Organizer (vs. Just Winging It)
🗓 Thursday, February 19, 2026
⏰ 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM (EST)
💻 Zoom Only

Program Details:

Professional organizing isn’t just about systems—it’s about how you show up when situations get uncomfortable, unclear, or ethically complex.

In this panel discussion, experienced professional organizers share real-world sticky situations they’ve encountered with clients—and, more importantly, how they handled them. Through candid stories and guided discussion, panelists will explore what it truly means to “UP your game” as a competent, professional organizer versus operating reactively or letting standards slide.

Topics include navigating difficult client dynamics, setting and enforcing boundaries, responding to requests that undermine your process or professionalism, and recognizing when a client relationship is no longer a good fit. Panelists will also discuss the often-overlooked “little things” that elevate professionalism—tone of voice, follow-through, clear agreements, and the confidence to say, “This is how I do business.”

This session offers practical insight, peer learning, and reflection for organizers at any stage who want to strengthen their confidence, decision-making, and professional presence.

Presenters:
Leigh MacCready – Re-Nest, LLC
Molly Boren – Simplicity Works
Mary Huyck – Inspired Organizing

This is a memory care bathroom. I love adding art work…because no matter what stage we are in…I believe our surroundings should feel like home.
