Of all the things you can do to get your home ready for the market, nothing's as effective or inexpensive as decluttering. Here are tips to keep you focused

We have had Monica work with us for several years. You will not find anyone with better organizational skills than Monica! She is incredibly honest and trustworthy.

Monica will work alongside you or she is more than capable to work independently! She will see and hear what your needs are. She is a great listener and being a mom, she understands what it's like to have kids in your home.

Whatever organizational needs you have, Monica can help you. She not only cleans closets, garages, cabinets etc, Monica will file receipts, sort magazines, drawers. Any room or space in your home will be perfect after Monica has touched it.

Monica also helps us prepare spaces inside or outside for parties and large events held at our home. I also have Monica help me with decorating for the Holidays. She brings items down from our storage area in the attic and replaces them in perfect order to be ready for the next year.

She is always willing to help me, no job is too big, too smaller or too dirty. We had a flood in our home and Monica rescued me with this disaster. She will run errands for you, buy appropriate containers for storage, actually just about any need you have... discuss it with Monica and she will be there to help. You feel your tension simply melt away after Monica has worked with you.

When people walk into my house now, they marvel at its sense of peacefulness. My forte has previously not been keeping an organized home, but after spending time being coached and organizing with her, I have gained new skills, as well as closets and drawers where I can find what I want! With her instruction and expertise, I have learned to keep what I truly love and need, while letting the extraneous go. She's been great at coaching me through organizational problems, as well as helping my kids, now ages 10, 8, and 5 get organized. Recently, she led a whole group of kids through organizing our kitchen "junk" drawer, which is now a beautiful paragon of preparedness for kids' schoolwork, crafts, and administrative tasks!

Monica also has other unexpected gifts. She has an eye for color, artwork, and furniture organization. As we went through the process of organizing my home, room by room, she suggested placements for existing furniture and placement that made my home more hospitable. A shelf in the corner here, a painting over the piano there, changing the locations of couches and tables,... Before I knew it, the stuff I already owned made my home look nicer!

Although I have some new organizational skills now, I am looking forward to having Monica's help on future organization projects--the garage, for one! She thinks of efficient, peaceful ways to store things that minimize fuss and maximize my time and energy for life, rather than managing stuff.

Last year I got rid of the toys. It might sound cruel--but my children have benefitted in more ways than I could have imagined. I call it toy minimalism.

If you're anything like me, de-cluttering is downright exhilarating. But knowing where to start can be a major mental roadblock. If you've got the urge to get some stuff out of the house, start with this list of items you can say goodbye to right now with little thought and no impunity.

Anything you didn't use decorating for the holidays, get it curbside or in the car for donation drop off. Simplify before you put away!
