Because my family of 4 (5, counting Lucy our yellow lab) lives in a small home (~1000sq ft), doing this whole ‘indefinitely working from home’ thing necessitated the need for a home office. Since we don’t have a lot of room to spare and we needed an area away from the screaming tantrums of a…
Shawna Childers – Owner of Organizing KCLives in Overland Park, KS What interests you about professional organizing? I find it fascinating how we as humans have such an affinity for possessions.

For this kitchen unpack and organize the client had recently moved and was not sure about where in her kitchen to place certain items. Their family loved to cook and had lots of spices. We started by clearing a cabinet and gathering the spices from the various places they had ended up in the unpacking process. Now, they were all right by the stove where they would be a hand’s grab away! I alphabetized all the spices on the lazy susans so they would be easier to find: The bottom right shelf was designated for all the spices that were…
Mmmmm….. spring! It’s allllllmost here! I can smell that fresh air and almost taste the fresh, green grass! It’s that time again to open up those closets, pull out all of that crap you’ve been collecting over the winter, give those shelves a good wipe down and put back all those “I’ll actually use” items!
