You’ve tried everything to get a clean and organized home, but nothing seems to work for you and you really feel like you’re failing at this whole mom and wife thing because of it!
You’ve downloaded all the cleaning checklists, you’ve bought cute organizing bins and organizing baskets, you’ve spent so much time getting your home organized. But nothing has helped simplify your life or create the peaceful home you desire.
Busy mom, I’m here to tell you that this is NOT your fault.
The problem is that cookie cutter home organizing, cleaning and time management solutions don’t take you, your family or your current season of life into consideration. Not even a professional organizer coming into your home can do that!
Hi! I’m Tammy. I’m a busy wife and mom with a household to manage and business to run along with coaching volleyball and being on staff at my church.
For most of my kids infant to tween years I experienced debilitating self doubt in how I managed all the things at home and work because of the perfection our society seems to expect of us as moms.
After recognizing that my home wasn’t the peaceful home I wanted it to be because I was pursuing perfection, I began to research and make changes. I learned that the true solution was to put myself, my family and my current season of life at the core of how I managed my home. We shifted our home organizing, cleaning and time management systems to reflect what would work best for us.
I’m here to share with you how you can make this shift too.
Welcome to the Home Organizing for Beginners podcast.
In this podcast you’ll get tangible and simple instructions about home organizing, cleaning and time management. Instructions that keep you, your family and your current season of life at the core.
Let’s shift the chaos into calm by working together.

Home organizing is hard when we aren't clear on what an organized home really means. As a busy mom, you don't have time to waste chasing down unrealistic expectations and you definitely don't have time to organize the same space over and over again!
Listen in as I share the best definition of home organizing and the 3 critical and foundational steps to get an organized home.

I truly appreciate you listening. I pray that what I am sharing hits home for you and that you're life will be better for it. If it is, would you consider leaving a 5 star review so that my words may help other busy moms too?
Thank you!
Tammy

Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is HOW TO CLEAN YOUR KITCHEN.
I despise having to clean the kitchen before I can make dinner. It’s so frustrating to have to clear the counters and wash the needed pots and pans before I can even get started. This was my reality way too often. I’d walk in the door with a crying baby on my hip and 2 toddlers running around begging for something to eat. When I got to the kitchen I’d realize that we hadn’t really cleaned things up from the night before. Now not only did I have no clue what I was going to make for dinner but I had to consider whether the darn pans I might need were clean or not!
As a mom whose home organizing journey needs a fresh start you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of feeling bad that you can’t consistently clean your kitchen every night after you tuck kids into bed, you can get into a simple kitchen cleaning routine and lean into what comes naturally for you. In this episode you learn why “clean the kitchen every night before you go to bed” isn’t the best advice, I’ll share what is better advice and how you can implement a simple kitchen cleaning routine.
Would you like to talk through your specific kitchen cleaning dilemma? I’m here to help. It's super easy to enlist my free support. Go to www.homeorganizingforbeginners.com and click the Ask Me Anything link.

Imagine this scenario. I know you’ve had something like this happen already this summer.
It’s early Saturday morning. Your kids come running into your bedroom to wake you up and beg you to take them swimming. The sun is shining bright and you think, yeah. I would love to. What a fun thing to do with them! But then reality sets in. Saturday is cleaning day. How can you just skip it and think the week will all work out? Ugh. The dishes are piled in the sink, you have no clean clothes and the toilets are disgusting. You realize you have to tell them no. That you just can’t because there’s too much to get done today. You know that if you go then you’ll be paying the price all week long. They cry, you feel terrible, but yet, you know you have to be the responsible one. You have to be the mom.
But what can be done so that you can actually say yes more than you say no? Better yet, what can be done so that YOU can plan it and surprise THEM!
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of skipping most of the family fun this summer you can put a summer cleaning strategy in place. In this episode I’ll share with you what a summer cleaning strategy is, what it means in the overall cleanliness of your home and how to implement your strategy today!

This is the third of a 3 part series on overcoming overwhelm at home. Last week I reviewed how prioritizing the way we’re taught actually makes us feel more overwhelmed and how you can prioritize instead so that you get stuff done.
Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is creating a dependable system that will capture all the thoughts, ideas and to-do’s that cross your mind.
The whole concept of a capture system is what I had been looking for seemingly forever, but until I found it I didn’t know it’s what I needed or that I was even looking for it. Are you like… what was that?! With a capture system I don’t stress or get overwhelmed as often.
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of allowing overwhelm to rule your life and make you feel anxious and frustrated, you can create a capture system so that you have something you can depend on to capture all your thoughts, ideas and to-do’s. In this episode I’ll share the components of a capture system, the only tool I use within my capture system and how you can implement the same thing or something similar.
If you want to bounce ideas off of someone to help you develop your own capture system, one that YOU can depend on. I’m happy to help.

I find that sometimes I don’t want to take the time to do this whole brain dump thing. Then prioritize it? I fool myself into thinking that if I just roll up my sleeves and get started that will be way more effective.
What happens then? I find myself starting one thing only to notice that another thing needs to be done too. I wind up with several things started and nothing actually completed. In last week’s episode I shared that my husband was in the hospital for a few days.
He’s fine, but the whole situation set us back in our normal daily tasks. Basic housework things. Once everything settled down I thought well I’ll just dive in. I got started with laundry, then worked on the kitchen and then into cleaning our bathroom. Doesn’t sound so bad.
Unfortunately I forgot about the laundry and it wound up being in the washer overnight.

Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is brain dumping - the best way to get all the things out of your mind so you can get the right things done.
This is the first of a 3 part series on overcoming overwhelm at home.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed? That’s a silly question, right?!
EVERYONE feels overwhelmed at times. While it would be great if we could implement something that completely eliminates overwhelm from ever happening again, I don’t think that’s realistic. Do you? Life throws us curveballs, unexpected things. We can even be overwhelmed with normal daily life of running a household, working, trying to simply do all the things.
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of allowing overwhelm to rule your life and make you feel anxious and frustrated, you can start with a brain dump to get yourself moving in the right direction and to squash the overwhelmed feeling. In this episode I’ll share with you what a brain dump is, why it works and how to do one.
HOW TO DO A BRAIN DUMP
Let’s get into the steps you need to take to make it happen.
That’s it! This is the first step to overcoming the overwhelm at home. In next week’s episode I’ll share what the next step is, prioritizing.

Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is Kids Clothes that Don’t Fit.
When my kids - all 3 of them - were born they fit into 9 month size baby clothes. The biggest at 10 pounds and the smallest at 9 pounds 8 ounces, the clothes we got at the baby shower were simply too small. Nobody was predicting that our babies would be so big! Not even my doctor. Even the diapers we had initially were too small for their baby bottoms. I do miss the days of having babies, being able to hold them in my arms and snuggle. Now they’re all too big to fit on my lap and they don’t even want to!
Anyhow. What to do with all the baby clothes, toddler clothes, kids size clothes as they grow. Because they grow out of these things so fast, right! They wear these things once or twice then they’re too small!
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of letting kids' clothes spill out of their closet and dressers because most of them are too small, you can implement a simple process that will help you move these items out of the house for good. In this episode I’ll share with you what the process will do for you, why it will work and how to implement it.

Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is Tidying Up.
Do you have little piles of stuff scattered here and there around your home? Maybe a bit of clean clothes sitting on a chair because you’ve just not had time to put them away. Or the mail from yesterday is sitting on the counter because you just haven’t gotten to it yet. The dirty dishes are sitting in the sink or on the counter. Kids dirty socks laying on the floor in the living room. Used tissues sitting on the coffee table. An empty Gatorade bottle on the fireplace mantle. Ugh. Right? Time to carve out an hour or two to get it all cleaned up. Or is there another solution?
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of making time to clean everything up all at once you can utilize the 2 minute rule throughout the day. In this episode I’ll share with you what the 2 minute rule is, why it works and how to implement it today, right this minute… or 2 minutes!

Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is LAUNDRY.
I have these unwritten rules in my head about laundry. Do you too? Sort them by color. Wash darks on cold, whites on hot, use bleach, wash towels together, wash jeans together. ugh! Do I really need to do all these things? I mean, before kids it was easier because all the dirty clothes were just mine or mine and my husbands. After kids the whole laundry task changed. As they got bigger it changed more, right. Definitely more loads to get done today than there was 10 years ago!
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us. Instead of feeling like laundry is a dreadful never ending chore, you can take a step back and put measures in place to effectively get it done so that you truly feel that you have it under control going forward.
That’s what you want, right? I know you’re smart enough to realize that the task of doing laundry won’t ever just disappear. It’s like dishes, as long as everyone in the house is eating there will inevitably be dishes to wash. As long as everyone in the house doesn’t run around naked there will be clothes to wash!
But it doesn’t have to be something you dread. It can just be a chore that happens as needed for your current season of life or current level of chaos in your home. In this episode I’ll share the best 2 options you have, why these options will work for you and how to get started this week.

As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of feeling like you should already know how to get organized or forcing yourself to figure it out on your own you can ask questions and get answers. In this episode which is super short so you can take action right away I’ll share with you where you can go to ask questions about home organizing, why it’s ok to ask questions and the steps you can take today to get started.
Let’s start with where you can go to ask all your home organizing questions. I’ve created an online community - not in Facebook because we all know Facebook is just a time suck with oodles of distractions. Instead it’s found within my website so that you can stay focused when you’re working on your home organizing project. This community is where you can go to ask me anything about home organizing and I’ll answer!
I used to feel like there was something wrong with me because I couldn’t be organized “like everyone else.” I was too embarrassed to ask questions of my friends that always seemed to have it so together. You don't have to keep struggling. Maybe you’re not sure where to get started. Or maybe you have a room specific question like, what is the best type of container to store my makeup in? Whatever your question is, come to this community and ask it. You don’t have to forge through this all by yourself. You are definitely not the only one who struggles to get and stay organized!
So, the steps to ask your questions are quick and painless.

I like to wrap up every episode with a single point to remember. This point is meant to help you remember what you’ve learned today so that you can make progress and build momentum in your home organizing journey.
Today’s point to remember is this:
Ask questions. Get answers. Today.

This is it. This is the final strategy that will help get you off the hamster wheel of home organizing. That’s where you organize the same spaces over and over and over again. If you’ve not listened to the episodes detailing out the other 7 strategies you’ll certainly want to go back and listen to all of them. It can be right now before the rest of this episode or after you’re done here. All 8 strategies work together because they’re all created with sustainability in mind. If you’re not able to keep your organized spaces organized what’s the point, right? It feels like such a waste of time.
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of stopping your home organizing project after everything has been physically done you can finish by putting measures in place to SUSTAIN it. In this episode I’ll share with you what it means to SUSTAIN your work, why it’s important and how to make it happen.

Join me next week as we dive into what you can do when you don’t know how to get organized.
How many times have you stopped at a store, saw some really nice baskets or bins and all of sudden had motivation to get organized. Literally this is where I think we all start. My daughter, without any prior discussion, asked if we could buy these specific baskets so that, and I quote, “I can organize my bedroom, mom.” How is it that buying baskets or bins will result in an organized bedroom? When we actually stop and think about it we realize that the baskets and bins would look nice but we have no idea if they fit the space or what we would even store in them.
And this is why so many of us wind up on the hamster wheel of home organizing where we have to organize the same spaces over and over and over again.
The strategy we’ll talk about today is the strategy that most people think of when they think of getting organized, but with a twist.
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.
Instead of starting with cute bins and resolving to just get rid of everything, you can shift your focus when you ORGANIZE. In this episode I’ll share with you what it means to organize, why it’s important and how to organize so that you can set yourself up for success and ultimately get off the hamster wheel of home organizing.

Does the thought of going through all your stuff in order to get organized make you feel anxious and overwhelmed? You are not alone. What I’ve learned over time and in talking with a lot of moms is that getting started is HARD because we think we have to get rid of a lot of our stuff in order to get organized and we’re just not ready until we are ready. Up until a couple of years ago I had every piece of artwork that my kids ever made stashed away in tons of boxes and bins shoved here, there and everywhere! And truth be told, I still have all the daily reports from when they were in day care! I kept them all! They’re all 3 hole punched and stored in binders tucked away in my closet.
Minimalism seems to be all the rage right now. They say, just get rid of your stuff. It’s so much easier to keep your home tidy and organized. While that is a true statement, it is in fact easier to be organized if you have less stuff, it’s not a requirement. You can be organized and keep your stuff. Isn’t that a relief?!

Have you found yourself watching home organizing shows on Netflix? I love watching them, but I typically walk away with this vision in my head of what an organized home is supposed to be - perfection. Wonderful decor, all matching, fitting in the allotted spaces. The work they do on those shows is great, but I’ve found for myself and my clients, it ultimately demotivates most moms. It’s just not realistic to think that our homes will look like what they do on those shows. I mean it can, but then we can’t live life in our homes. We can’t play with our kids, we can’t let them paint in our kitchens, or build forts in our living rooms. Real life dictates that our homes will look lived in because they are!

How can I get organized when I’m so busy?
This is a very valid concern and one that I had too. I used to carve out entire weekends or take days off of work just so that I could get organized. The problem with this is that since I felt like I had carved out all this time I could get a ton done. And it was inevitable that I would bite off more than I could chew. I’d get to the end of the day or weekend and find that I wasn’t finished. Or worse yet, I would get stuck part way through or feel completely overwhelmed at the size of the task and simply give up! I would never finish.
If carving out huge blocks of time in your schedule to get organized is NOT something that will work for you, then right sizing your project will be a game changer!

I’m going to guess this has happened to you before, and I only know because it has happened to me too! You finally feel motivated to get organized. You have the whole weekend planned, you’re going to start with your office, then do the junk drawer in the kitchen. You know it’s a stretch goal, but you totally feel up for it. Saturday morning hits, you get up, get your cup of coffee and dive in starting with your desk. It’s cluttered, stuff piled up all over it so you start there. You start with a pile of paperwork, you see some old bills and think oh no! Did I pay those? You take a look online and find that they are paid. OK, still feeling motivated you dive back into the rest of the piles. There are some of the books your kids used to read, you page through them and feel a pang of sadness. You brush that to the side along with the books. Now you open a drawer, you know the top of the desk isn’t done, but that all needs a lot of hard decisions, the drawers should be easier. But they’re not. You forgot that the last time you got organized you shoved a bunch of old paperwork inside. UGH! Maybe the junk drawer will be easier and you need more coffee. It’s noon and nothing is done yet! You make lunch, sit down to watch a show and pretty much never return to the project.
This happens because making decisions is HARD. And it’s ok. If making the decision of what to do with your kids books was easy, they wouldn’t be piled on your desk, right?

How do I get organized and stay organized? This is a question I hear a lot and it’s a question I used to ask myself too. I was so tired of organizing the same spaces over and over again. It happened often enough for me to name the cycle the hamster wheel of home organizing.
We have a set of lockers in our entryway coming in from the garage. I lost count on how many times I got this space organized only to have it be a complete disaster again within the week. Oh my gosh I would get so stinking mad! I’d just feel defeated. It’s the worst because that’s the space I’d walk into as soon as I got home from work. And if you listened to last week's episode you’d know that in creating your home organizing vision you consider how you want to feel when you walk into your home or a space. I want to feel peace, calm and joy. Not frustration, anger and defeat!
As someone who is or feels like they’re just starting their home organizing journey you want to be set up for lasting home organizing solutions, right? In order to make that happen you’ll have to do something different than you’ve done before or what society tells us.

I felt fear and frustration everyday when I’d walk into my home. It was always a mess. I’d get motivated to do something, set aside an entire weekend to finally get organized only to wind up irritated with being interrupted by my kids. I’d yell, they’d cry. Ugh. It was an ugly situation! One I’m not proud to share, but I know now that I’m not alone in this cycle.
I just wanted to walk into my home after a long day at work and feel peace, calm and joy. I seriously wish I’d had that back then.
I don’t want you to miss out on the precious time with your kids. I want you to find that peace, calm and joy before it’s too late!
To do that, you’ll have to do something different than what you’ve done before or what we are constantly told by society. Everything I teach starts with sustainability in mind. You don’t want to spend your time organizing the same spaces over and over again, right?
Instead of starting with cute bins and resolving to just get rid of everything, you can learn where to really start - with a Home Organizing Vision. In this episode I’ll share with you what a home organizing vision is, why you need one and how to craft a useful one.

So today’s microscopic home organizing topic is this:
The best way to get rid of the stuff you declutter.
Welcome to Home Organizing for Beginners.
In each episode I share a microscopic home organizing topic. That just means it’s something you can implement today, from start to finish, if you so choose.
Do you find that as you’re living daily life you sometimes come across something and you think, I should get rid of this? Like, we don’t use this anymore. Something like clothes or toys that your kids have outgrown? Maybe even some of your own clothing that you don’t like or wear anymore. Basically you’re ready to declutter some items from your home.
The simplest way I’ve found to get stuff out of my home that I no longer want or use is to donate it.
Today I’ll share the problems you’re running into that’s preventing you from donating your stuff. I’ll share what the solution is, why it works and how you can implement it today.
To learn your options to continue your home organizing journey with me by your side go to www.homeorganizingforbeginners.com
Thanks so much and have a great day! I hope we have the opportunity to get to know each other better.
You need a way to organize your closet so that you can find the clothes you want to wear when you want to wear them.
Do you find yourself running out of time as you search for something to wear every morning? Maybe you have a favorite shirt or pants, but you know you shouldn’t wear them everyday even if you’re a stay at home mom.
I knew I needed to get my closet under control when I found that I didn’t even use it anymore. It was full of clothes but it was way easier to throw the clothes that I would wear on the bench in my bathroom and get dressed from there.
Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is this:
How to organize your closet so you can find the clothes you want to wear.
In this episode I’ll share the problems you’re seeing with a chaotic and unorganized closet. I’ll share what the solution is, why it works and how you can implement it today if you so choose.
Thanks so much!

There’s this thing that often has to be done BEFORE you can even start thinking about organizing your home.
Today’s microscopic home organizing topic is GETTING YOUR FAMILY TO HELP CLEAN… so you can get started organizing.
Cleaning is a thorn in your side, right? It’s time consuming and everyone in the house just messes it up almost instantly. It is so incredibly frustrating!
Does it seem like nobody sees what needs to be done? Or worse yet it feels like nobody cares! Are you feeling like you have to do it all on your own? These feelings can make you angry and bitter with those you love most. (it did for me!)
Today you’ll learn there’s one primary thing that needs to happen so that you can get your family to help clean. This will put you in the position of managing your home instead of doing all the things yourself so that you can get started, get organized and ultimately stay organized.
