“From Dallas to Boston: New Organizing Ideas I Can’t Wait to Share”
It all begins with an idea.
Earlier this month, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a national conference for professional organizers in Dallas, Texas. Imagine a room full of people who get just as excited about labels, bins, and systems as I do — it was organizer heaven!
The whole event had a vibrant pink-and-red theme — even the snacks were color coordinated! (Yes, only professional organizers would think to match the M&Ms to the décor!)
As a Milton, MA–based organizer, I’m always on the hunt for fresh strategies and inspiration to bring back to my clients in the Boston area. The sessions covered everything from the latest home organizing trends to creative ways of supporting clients with ADHD and other neurodivergent needs — a topic close to my heart. It was a great reminder that true organizing isn’t about creating a magazine-ready home; it’s about building systems that actually work for real people and their busy lives.
One story that really stuck with me? An organizer shared how she literally dismantled her client’s dining room table and stored it in the garage — all to break the habit of using it as a clutter dumping ground. Talk about dedication (and thinking outside the box)!
And of course, it wasn’t just about the learning — the people made it unforgettable. On the second night, what started as a dinner reservation for six turned into a table for sixteen. By the end of the day, I had connected with so many amazing women in this field that we couldn’t help but pull more chairs up to the table. We laughed, shared stories, and inspired each other — proof that community makes everything better, even in a profession that can often feel so lonely as we work alone so often.
I came home from Dallas buzzing with fresh ideas, renewed energy, and practical strategies I can’t wait to bring into homes across Milton, Boston, and the South Shore. For me, continuous learning isn’t just a box to check — it’s the secret sauce that ensures every family I work with gets the very best, most up-to-date support.
So if clutter has been overwhelming you (or if you’ve been waiting for that “perfect time” to finally get organized), maybe this is it. From downsizing support for seniors, to ADHD- and neurodivergent-friendly systems, to simple everyday solutions that make life flow easier, my mission is always the same: to help you feel calm, happy, and at peace in your space.
