Organizing Philosophy

Pin It

Life can be messy, disorganized, and overwhelming– trying to get out of your door in the morning shouldn’t have to feel that way. Get organized and find solutions that will work for you with Space for Living.

I am on a quest for an organization that emphasizes practicality over perfection and joyful living over clutter.

With a 3 and 5-year old running around, I focus on making my home efficient and livable – not a “perfect” picture from a magazine or a model home.

I am constantly inspired by ideas to make the best use of what we have. I love sharing these organizing solutions on my blog and with my organizing clients.

I am proof, organization is a skill you can learn and master! Once I got organized, I found there was more space and time to do the things I love the most. I have taught myself and many others to be organized. I can teach you!

Space for Living provides support and resources to get your life and home in order and running smoothly. I am here to cheer you on!

No matter how organized you are, from clutter bug to practically professional, we focus on making life simpler and leaving behind the notion that our homes need to be “picture perfect” magazine homes and instead create a place where you can find comfort and relax.

You’ll also find a community where ideas are shared to make life simpler and more efficient. And support to find a balance between what you have to do and what you love to do.

Luke 10:38

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She has a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be  made.  She came to him and asked,

“Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself?  Tell her to help me!”

“Martha, Martha,”  the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things but only one thing is needed.  Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
