Hello Friends,

Greetings from my home, where I've been hunkered down 24/7 while my family and I ride out this freaky pandemic. I'm sure that you, like me, never imagined you'd be spending this much time at home, and yet here we all are.

Go figure...

I haven't worked since...

You know me and blogging. I only do it when I feel that it is necessary. 

This is necessary.

If you follow me on Instagram (@kempjane) you might have seen my Instagram Stories where I found myself on a quest for a specific height of freestanding plastic garage storage sh...

Happy Fall Everyone!

I've been on a serious bender removing items from rooms. If you follow me on Instagram (@kempjane), and I sincerely hope you do, you'll have watched my Instagram Stories where I pulled a full carload of bits and bobs from my house, originally earmar...

Here's the thing. Professional organizing is not a one-size-fits-all career. There are some organizers who specialize in closet systems, others who love to organize pantries, and another whole group that basically live at The Container Store.
