Earlier today I sent a photo of Tater Tot to his pal Hal (aka the dog walker). Tater had walked out of the beach rental and was taking an early siesta in the sun, it was super adorbs. Hal mentioned he was happy Tater was enjoying his vacation. I found the thought of Tater being on vacation rather amusing - everyday of his life is a summer holiday! ... read more
Thoughts About Packing and Moving I’m about to express an opinion about packing that might seem insensitive, oblivious and 1 percenty. But it’s a belief that as a master class packer I passionately support. When preparing for a significant move, hire movers that don’t just get your stuff from point A to point B, but PACK those cherished ... read more
Now that we’ve become incredibly lax in our travel attire, does looking like a cross fit enthusiast mean less luggage? Unless you travel often for work - most people do not have a system when it’s time to pack for the plane. With the exception of a trip to Morocco that left me super paranoid about offending the general population with my skinny ... read more
It is often the littlest of things that create the most havoc for professional organizers. Beauty samples are the bane of my need to eliminate the unnecessary packaging and products when working in clients' bath & bedrooms. In theory the trial size is brilliant - an opportunity to test something new without a financial commitment, small and ... read more

We’ve recently made some core staff changes and I thought Em’s recent NYC trip would be an excellent opportunity to have a team building experience.

Also, take a photo of the paperwork next ... read more
What a difference a year makes! 12 months ago I didn’t have a business coach, much less knew why I would need one. A year ago, I had never metmy VA (virtual assistant to those unfamiliar with the initials) in person although she had access to every password, checking account and my social security number. Before May 2014, I had never been in the ... read more
This month I did something completely uncharacteristic - I vacationed in the same location 2x. The fact that I repeated a travel destination more than 2x ever is unheard of much less in the same calendar year. I'm completely enamored by Charleston's mix of colorful history, inventive cuisine & tattooed mixologists. New & old blend ... read more
After waking up around 4am and unable to fall back to sleep, I decided to apply for Global Entry, mainly because I want to wear my new cowboy boots traveling. I was pleased with my nocturnal productivity. As I was entering the passport information it occurred to me the necessity of a good passport photo. Not that I think any of my previous ... read more
