Get your home in order with my ten week organizing challenge. More than just decluttering and purging, this challenge helps you setup organizing systems that work.

January 2022 marked the five year anniversary of my original Ten Week Organizing Challenge and I decided that it was time to revisit and revise the challenge and do it all again!

I’m tired of feeling like things look okay on the surface but knowing that my cupboards, drawers, closets, cabinets, and shelves are lurking in a state of complete disarray. If it’s time for you to finally get your home in shape, head over to read all about this fun challenge and sign-up for free weekly challenge emails to be delivered to your inbox!
