I’ve got a Paperwork Confession to Make

For some reason people think Professional Organisers live in display homes – a minimalist life with only the bare basics and storing (as I like to call it) lots of “air” in our cupboards. Well I don’t live that life. If you came to my home it would look uncluttered to you (particularly if you [...]

The Most Common Organising Problem I Hear

“Good morning Clutter Rescue, Helen speaking.” “Oh Hi Helen, my name is Jane/Ann/Fred and I don’t know if you can help me.  Are you the organising lady?” “Yes, Jane/Ann/Fred, I am.  What organising challenge can I help you with?” “Oh, it’s my office …” And so the conversation goes, with a discussion

Getting the Most out of your Wardrobe

My gorgeous Mr 6 came home this afternoon from school talking about ‘needs’ and ‘wants’. All the way home we spoke about the things we need in life (like food, water, shelter) and those we want (like special treats and a PS3!).

Five Back-to-School To-Do’s to Save your Sanity

If you’re like me you’ve been back at school a month or so now.  Things have hopefully settled into a nice routine in your household following such a long Christmas break and getting out the door on time is much easier. I will admit that I found the first month back at school tough.  I [...]
