Take Charge of Change

Someone, somewhere, at one point in time decided that the first week in July was going to be “Take Charge of Change Week”.  I tried to do a little digging into it’s origin and history and came up short.  Regardless, just the title is inspiring, isn’t it?  So I thought I would try to inspire you a little more and challenge you to take on an organizing dilemma in your home.

What drawer, closet, or nook of your home haunts you as you lie in your bed at night?  What bookshelf, cabinet, or wall in your garage nags at the back of your mind as you go through your day?  This is the week to tackle it head on.  It is the week of our Independence Day, after all.  Our forefathers tackled their oppression head on and so can you.  Granted, your clutter may seem like pebbles compared to the huge boulders they moved, but pebbles still make it hard to walk through your day.  Why not take the plunge and take charge of change in your life.

 Start small.  No matter the task, figuring out where to start can be daunting.  Pick a spot in your house and start by de-cluttering.  Get rid of trash, donate things you no longer use, and set aside things that can be repurposed or need to be saved.  I promise that as you clear up the space, a whole new vision of what it can be will motivate you to continue. 

If you still need help, I’m here!  Only a phone call away.  And to give you a little more incentive, I’m offering a special take-charge promotion.  This week only, I’m offering 3 organizing hours for only $75!  That’s 50% off.  That should motivate you to get going…nothing stands in your way now.  Take charge of change!

Who Needs a Large Utility Tote?

YOU DO!  This month, Thirty-One is offering their very popular Large Utility Tote for only $10 when you spend $35 during the month of June.  This is HUGE savings...think 70% off savings.  Who can pass that up - especially when you're saving on such a versatile, helpful organizational tool?!  Oh, and it comes in 23 prints...icing on the cake.

I have a few of these myself and I am continually finding new ways to use them.  I have one for grocery shopping - the cashiers are always amazed at how much it holds!  I use one for summer activity stuff for my son and myself.  It's super easy to throw anything you need for a picnic, get together, road trip, etc. into this handy bag.  It also doubles as a great closet organizer because it holds a lot of your off-season items and still looks cute on the shelf!

A perfect and almost necessary pairing with the L.U.T. is the organizers that fit right in.  It divides the space so you can separate items (you can get them in thermal material for the grocery store, picnics, etc.) and it also helps them hold their shape very well.  Here's a couple more ideas!

Take advantage of this sale while it lasts!  You might think it couldn't get any better than this, but wait.  ORGANIZING abc's is having a promotion that doubles your benefits!  Schedule a Thirty-One party with me in June or July and get 2 organizing hours with me for FREE!  That's right...you host a party (super easy), get free and discounted items (you could get your L.U.T. for FREE!), and get professional help with your organizing project just for having all that fun with your friends.  Take a look at the website for all the details about the promotion and my organizing services.

I can't wait to help you get organized with these totes.  You will wonder why you didn't buy this thing sooner.  If you're already a fan, share how you use your tote!  I'd love to discover all the uses I haven't thought of yet!
