Today, I’m on my way to Reno for the 20th Annual NAPO Conference… so exciting! Tomorrow, I’ll spend my day in a training workshop in which I’ll learn more about the ins and outs of owning and operating a professional organizing business. Then Thursday, the conference will officially begin with an opening keynote address by none other than Peter Walsh! “I’m still geekin’ out about it!” | ||
Training seminars, break-out sessions, product demonstrations, presentations, networking, hundreds of successful professional organizers… it’s sure to be overwhelming, yet exhilirating! In fact, I’ll get to schmooze and rub shoulders with some of the most renowned professional organizers in the industry!
By the time I return home, I’ll definitely have loads of new experiences and information to share with you! |
The [ real neat ] website recently received an award! How cool is that!?! | |

It’s definitely an honor to be included in the online directory whose goal it is to “bring moms the best in blogging, shopping, parenting, and entertainment.” Wow! The best… |
Welcome to the [ real neat ] blog! I am excited to finally have a simple and dynamic site where I can regularly share new organizing tips and ideas with you! As trends evolve in the organizing industry, I’ll do my best to keep you up-to-date. (Plus, this blog will serve as a pretty valuable repository of ideas for me, too! It’ll be so fabulous to be able to quickly search and find old ideas stored in this digital filing cabinet!)
Now, keep in mind that I am not actually a goddess of organization (though I do come pretty close sometimes)! *tee hee*
My ultimate plan for this blog is the free exchange of organizing tips, ideas, challenges, and more… You know, I am not the only expert here, and some of my ideas may not actually suit your needs. But, perhaps a fellow [ real neat ] blog reader will have some advice that will work better for you. I want to maintain an open community here so that all of us can learn and benefit from one another!
Needless to say, I am definitely anxious to get this dialogue started! What are your main problem areas when it comes to organization? Is there something in your home, office, or life that you’re ready to tackle? Hit me!
