The statistics about plastic waste are staggering!
Plastic recycling has long posed challenges. Unlike glass and metal, plastic cannot be repeatedly recycled without quickly degrading in quality. Unless we avoid and reduce our use, it will continue to plague the Earth, oceans, the animals and US.

Try these 3 simple ways to be considerate of our planet:
1. Choose reusable bottles. NOT plastic. Avoid drink bottled water + drinks. If you do, refill them from your tap to at least reuse them a few times.
2. Use cloth shopping bags. NOT plastic. (*And keep 1 or 2 handy IN your car.)
3. All that DOor Dash and take out add up!

Try reuseable food containers. NOT plastic. Glass, silicone bags and bees-wax wraps are great alternatives.)
And of course, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE all that you can.

Shop less. Recycle More.
Make EVERY day Earth Day!

Things my client said yesterday:

“I channeled my inner Julie.” 🤩
(Filling in spaces in a box.)

“This would have taken us three months without you.” 📆

“We’d be divorced by now.” 💔

They say no one wants to help you move, but JOY Home Organizing does!

Today's job: Clearing a long-neglected laundry-room drop zone which had become overwhelming over the years.

Sometimes all it takes is a little focus, a fresh set of eyes, and someone by your side to turn “overwhelming” into “done.” 💪✨

This was redemption of the space – attained from redeeming a JOY Home Organizing 2-hour decluttering and organizing gift certificate won at the Gala.

So proud of what we accomplished together—one space, one step, one win at a time.

I’m back—and ready to take on the world (or something like that 😉).

I just wrapped up an amazing journey of self-introspection, and while I was at it, spent three unforgettable weeks in Thailand and Bali. Who gets to do that? Me—someone who worked hard her whole life and has spent the last 8 years being the boss of her own life as a Pro Organizer.

Birthdays have a way of making you pause and really look at your life. After losing 4 family members in such a short time (5 years), I’ve been reminded just how important it is to live fully, intentionally, and with gratitude.

While I don't sound polished, it truly is my mission and passion to inspire others to clear the clutter and find JOY in their lives. Life has shifted in big ways for me, and I’m choosing to pour that energy into helping others feel lighter, calmer, and happier in their homes.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or too busy to tackle the clutter, I’m here for you, to create a space that feels good to come home to. 💖

*NOTE: We will be taking a short break to find new JOY—high on a mountain in Thailand—from March 6–27! Sometimes you just need a reset. We can’t wait to reconnect and help you when we return. Namaste.*

It's hard to believe it was 8 years ago today that I filed with the state of Minnesota to make JOY Home Organizing a real business. It's been an incredible journey helping so many amazing people declutter, organize and move. So rewarding, and so much joy given and received. It's pretty unbelievable. I am grateful and blessed that this is what I get to do for a living, and I will continue as long as my body will let me. As I say, Dave makes the dollars in our family, but I make a difference. : ).
