The beginning of each year
Starts the toy making again
More children’s gifts to create
No vacation Elves can extend
With so very much to do
And with precious little time
Work must be shared
Tasks must be combined

In the home of Mrs. Claus
Every guest is made welcome
She takes the greatest care
To comfort the wearisome
In each and every guest room
Fresh linens make the beds
Downy towels await for baths
In rooms, a cozy throw in red

Tis the time of year filled with wonder and cheer.
Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza or what you hold dear,
The season for giving, for loving, for sharing
Our hopes in the season made for much caring.

It’s true….at least for a couple in Lousiana. They were organizing their home to make it ready for Thanksgiving guests when they came across a forgotten lottery ticket. It was set to expire in 2 weeks. I’m sure they were thankful for Thanksgiving falling when it did!
I see this happen a lot. Maybe not the $1.8 million, but I have found quite a bit of money in different forms during my 9 years of organizingwith clients. Here are just a few:

Most of the fun of any holiday season involves the holiday traditions you create with family and friends. They can be classic, dorky, traditional, silly, unusual, new, out-of-the-box or even strange but they are yours. They feel like old friends. Holidays just aren’t the same without them. Even if you are The Groaner in the group, you would miss those traditions if you skipped them.

A weekend getaway with family is always a thankful respite. Baylor University played Iowa State University in Iowa where my two youngest nieces attend school. It was bitterly cold, windy & my team didn’t win, but the memories we made are priceless.

People often ask me how I got my organizing skill.
Here’s the truth. Those of us who have the gift of organization naturally see patterns. Patterns help us see all the ways to group items. Understanding how to group creates clarity. Clarity helps you prioritize possessions into spaces or To Do's on a calendar. Those priorities become the patterns on your calendar, planning how to run your errands, how to organize a space/home/office, how to manage a project or just how to get through your To Do list.

Today, I received a call from a mom with two small kids and one on the way. Her comment is one I hear a lot: “I used to be able to keep up with all the stuff before the kids!” When kids & life comes along, it creates more stuff for us to manage. It can get overwhelming!
