Hello

Hi, I'm Lori.  I live with my husband in Niagara, Ontario.  I am a retired Registered Nurse of 34 years and I love reading, camping (actually, glamping), gardening and music.

My Story

I wish I knew then what I know now.  You cannot organize clutter. Let me say that again...you cannot organize clutter.  It is a vicious cycle.  I was in that cycle for years.  I now want to help others get out of that cycle.  I want to work with you to make your home function for you and your family.

​

There are so many studies that show how our environment affects our mood and mental health.  Clutter is distracting and can weigh heavy on our hearts.

​

I wasn't always an organized person.  I was overwhelmed and frustrated.  Working 12 hour shift work made it difficult for me to keep my home tidy, clean and manageable.  I was very organized in my job as a nurse.  Why couldn't I do it at home?  I was embarrassed to have people in my home.  When I walked through my door, I felt a weight on my shoulders.  The shoes, coats, papers, dirty dishes and toys were too much to deal with after a long shift at work.

​

I had done small decluttering sessions around the house over the years but never really noticed an improvement.  If I wanted to walk through my door and feel peace and calmness in my home, I had to commit to getting it that way.

​

I read books, studied and took online courses and started putting practices in place and using different strategies to put my home in order.  I had to decide what I wanted my home to be like, the atmosphere I wanted to create, and learn what worked for me.  Is my house perfect? No, but it is functioning better everyday.  I have learned that decluttering is not a one and done deal.  It is an ongoing commitment to maintain and to be intentional in what I bring into my home.

​

Was this easy?  No way!!!  It took commitment and a lot of mental and physical energy.  I encountered sentimental items that I cherished, gifts from people that I felt guilty letting go of, and multiples of things that I had accumulated over the years. 

​

Bottom line...I had too much inventory which means too much to manage.  I could not continue to shuffle clutter around my house and think I was organizing.  The most important key is decluttering.  This made it easier to find homes for the things I loved.  Having a specified home for the things I loved, made it easier to tidy.  A tidy house made it easier to clean and a clean house gave me peace and calmness in my heart and home.

​

I would love to help you achieve the same.
