Watch Me Organize

Just to give you an idea of how really, truly normal my home is - and that this is not a home organizer in disguise - I'll give you a before and after of my bedroom dresser.

So how did I do it?

3 simple steps:

  • Divide everything on the dresser into piles: Garbage, belongs in another room, belongs in a drawer or shelf in my room.
  • Throw out all the garbage
  • Put every item that belongs in another room in it's correct place
  • Put everything that belongs in my room in the correct drawer or shelf
  • Dust and windex the dresser surface

And voila! That's a glimpse into a real life Hopeless Housekeeper 20 minute organizing session.

Hopeless Housekeeper

Living in a small apartment with three kids can be tough on cleanliness. Especially if you’re always short on time and on a tight budget. Which is why my planned cleanup project kept getting pushed off, day after day, year after year. Then one day I took a good look at my house – and I was horrified. Was this really my house? Was I really such a dysfunctional housekeeper? So I set myself a goal – I am going to get the house in order, but slowly, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming and impossible. Five minutes here and there, whenever I have some spare time. Come join me on my quest for a clean home as I share tips, anecdotes and awesome organizational products that I use..
