1-2-3 Get Organized

My passions are to help people make home a refuge and to help people live in peace rather than chaos. After 30 years of helping people organize themselves, I’ve written 1-2-3…Get Organized – a series of books and workbooks (both print and downloadable) for those who are overwhelmed at the idea of organizing.

Each book addresses only one area of organizing one’s time or space and is short, colorful, glossy, and contains three steps to accomplish your organizing goal. These books provide the overwhelmed an alternative to “organize everything” books. Check out the reviews of our products for unbiased assessments.

Each month we provide a seasonal sale – usually a combination package. If you’d like to be notified of the sales, sign up to be on our mailing list.

You’ll also find a link to my blog which offers tips on organizing, a survey to take, and links to my favorite places.

If you need hands-on help with your organizing projects, visit the “organizing services” page for a description of how we can help you get your home, office or time running smoothly and clutter-free in no time!

Please visit “products we recommend” for our favorite organizing products as well as other favorites. We’ll continually add products, so check back every once in a while to see what’s new.

Have fun browsing around the site. If you have any questions, please email me at

10% of our Sales Go To Shelter Care

As you may know, my husband and I are foster parents for teenage girls in the Shelter Care residential program. We have three houses of girls (2-4 in each house), and each house comes to our house for a week a month. Many of these girls have been neglected, abandoned, or abused - that's why they end up in our care.

We try to provide a home-like atmosphere where they can learn to function healthily in a family. When the girls come to our house, we like to expose them to educational and cultural opportunities.

However, there is no budget in our program for such opportunities. So, we've decided to donate 10% of our sales for such events.

Thanks so much for helping to expand the lives of our girls!!
