This is the first post in our three-part series on organizing support for clients with ADHD. If you’ve ever felt like traditional organizing advice doesn’t work for you, there’s a good reason for that. Many common systems aren’t designed with ADHD brains in mind. In this post, we’re diving into what doesn’t work (and why), and sharing real-world strategies that actually help. Whether you’re starting fresh or starting over for the tenth time, you deserve a space that works for you.
We all have seasons where life feels like a tornado — kids' activities, work deadlines, meal planning, appointments…(and don’t even get me started on laundry).
Here’s the truth: you don’t need to do it all perfectly. You just need small, consistent habits that help keep chaos at bay — even during life’s busiest weeks.
Do you ever feel stressed in the comfort of your own home? (If not, please share your secrets!) Sometimes, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s causing that feeling. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to address one subtle but impactful factor that can affect our mental well-being: clutter.
Spring cleaning often leaves us with items we’re not quite sure what to do with. While national donation centers like Goodwill and the Salvation Army are great options, we wanted to spotlight a few local organizations that would love to receive your gently used items — and put them to good use right here in the Des Moines metro area.
For many people, their garage is the most neglected space in the house. Your garage can become so cluttered that finding anything, let alone parking a car, feels impossible. The good news is that you can transform your garage into a functional, efficient space that works for you. Whether you need extra storage, a workspace, or just room to breathe, organizing your garage can make your daily life easier!
Does having an organized home overwhelm you? Or maybe it sounds like a dream but you have convinced yourself that you don’t have the skillset to achieve or maintain such a goal.. if you are one of these people I have great news for you, it really can be simple!
Professional unpacking and organizing services are designed to make your move-in process seamless, helping you create a calm, organized space right from the start. At happy.healthy.home., we specialize in turning boxes and clutter into beautifully functional homes in as little as a week.
Corner cabinets often suffer from wasted space due to their deep, hard-to-reach areas. A lazy susan helps you make the most of this space by allowing you to access everything with a simple spin. No more awkward stretching or rummaging around in the back - everything you need is right at your fingertips.
In our fast-paced world it’s easy for clutter to take over, turning our homes into chaotic spaces where finding that one elusive item feels like an epic quest. Let’s explore why creating an organized home is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself and your family.
I am currently in Arizona moving my youngest into a new apartment. As my kids get older, I am getting closer to the end of the annual move-in and move-out. As Gracie and I were making our many trips from the van to her apartment, I realized I have not yet shared the two things that make moving a breeze: a collapsible dolly and a fold-up wagon!
