Frequently Asked Questions

Organized Living | Helping Busy Mamas Create Calm in the Chaos

1. What is a professional organizer?

A professional organizer helps you declutter, organize, and create systems that support your real life. We guide you through tough decisions, offer fresh ideas, and set up practical, easy-to-maintain spaces. Think of it like hiring a personal trainer for your home!

2. Why should I hire a professional organizer?

Life is full—especially for moms juggling kids, work, and all the moving parts of family life. A professional organizer brings clarity, strategy, and hands-on help to get the job done efficiently. Whether you're overwhelmed or just want support, we make organizing feel doable and even fun.

3. What kind of support do you offer as a professional organizer?

At Organized Living, I offer:

  • Help with decluttering decisions (what to keep, donate, toss)

  • Customized organizing systems for your lifestyle

  • Coaching through emotional or sentimental clutter

  • Product recommendations that match your style and budget

  • Support to help you maintain your results

    Whether you're starting from scratch or just need a refresh, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

4. Is hiring a professional organizer worth it?

Yes! An organized space saves you time, reduces stress, and helps your household run more smoothly. Many of my clients say, “I wish I’d done this sooner!” It’s not just about pretty bins—it’s about creating a home that works for you.

5. What areas of the home do you organize?

I specialize in the four most important spaces in a busy mom’s home:

  • Kitchens & Pantries

  • Master Closets

  • Home Offices & Paper Systems

  • Laundry Rooms

    These high-traffic areas affect your daily life, so organizing them can make a huge difference.

    ** Don’t see your area on the list? Let me know and we can chat about what it is you’re looking for. **

6. Who do you typically work with?

I love working with busy moms who are ready to reclaim their time and space. Whether you’re drowning in laundry, paper piles, or cluttered cabinets, I’ll meet you right where you are—judgment-free.

7. What services do you offer?

I offer both in-person organizing (in the Angleton & Lake Jackson, Texas area) and virtual organizing sessions. Services include:

  • Hands-on decluttering and organizing

  • Paper organization using the Sunday Basket® system and Paper Solution Binders

  • Custom organizing plans

  • Ongoing support and maintenance strategies

8. What is the Sunday Basket®?

The Sunday Basket® is a system for managing all your household paper—bills, mail, school forms, and to-dos—so you’re not buried in piles. I’m a certified Sunday Basket® Workshop Organizer and can walk you through how to set up a basket that brings calm to your paper chaos.

9. How does the organizing process work?

Here’s what to expect:

  1. Free Discovery Call – We chat about your needs and goals.

  2. Organizing Sessions – We declutter and organize together.

  3. Follow-Up – I check in and support you as you maintain your progress.

10. How long does it take to organize a space?

Each project is different, but most sessions are 2.5 to 4 hours. Small spaces may take one session; larger areas may take a few. I’ll give you a realistic time estimate.

11. Do I need to be there during the session?

For decluttering decisions, yes. Your input is key! Once we’ve sorted what to keep, I can often work solo or with minimal input, depending on your comfort level and availability.

12. Do you bring organizing products?

I’ll recommend products based on your space, budget, and style. You can shop for them yourself, or I can do it for you for an added fee. I also love reusing what you already have when it makes sense!

13. What should I do to prepare before a session?

Nothing! Please don’t clean or tidy up. I need to see how your space functions in real life so I can help create solutions that work for your everyday routines.

14. How much does it cost?

Rates vary depending on the project size, number of sessions, and whether it's in-person or virtual. I offer hourly pricing, and custom quotes. Reach out to schedule a free discovery call to get started.

15. Do you offer gift certificates?

Yes! A gift certificate for organizing services is a thoughtful and practical gift for a new mom, overwhelmed friend, or anyone ready for a fresh start. Available for any service or dollar amount.
