I first heard about 3H Organizing (Happy House Home Organizing) in a local mom’s Facebook group. As soon as I saw the link to her Facebook page I had to check it out and inquire about her services. She came over for a consultation and the rest is history!
{If you live in the Gainesville/Alachua/High Springs area of Florida give her a call! Tell her I sent ya’!}
FYI- I’m sharing this info because I get dozens of daily emails from other busy, working moms asking me what my secret is. How can I possibly do so much in a day?!
Yup, I rarely do any cleaning. My husband does most of the chores including laundry, dishes, cleaning, sweeping, etc. He works a 9-5 job so as you can imagine he can’t come home after a full day’s work tend to the farm animals and keep the house spotless. Since my jobs including taking care of the kids, cooking fresh from-scratch meals, the occasional farm work and running a business, something’s got to give. And that “something” is the house cleaning! There is no way I could add keeping my house in tip-top shape to my to-do list. Well, I could do it but I would just be miserable and burned out. It’s not gonna happen. So, I hired some help.
Callie is great! She took pictures of the place, wrote up a full report with suggestions and got straight to work this week. She spent 3 hours in my house and I feel like I can breath easier now that she left with an SUV full up junk stuff.
We live in a double-wide mobile home and our closet is itty-bitty. One thing I did do ahead of time was get 100 ultra thin non-slip cascade hangers. I need to take advantage of every inch of closet rod I have. My husband has actual “work clothes” so he gets the longer of two closet rods. As for those new hangers, I stayed away from the black ones because many of you told me on they leave black fluff on your clothes. So, I went with a lighter color just in case. A ton of companies make them in different colors and styles and so far these work great for me. I put 100 of them on and still didn’t use up the whole 56″ rod. Not bad! But I definitely need to save up and get some more to replace my husband’s side of the closet.
Callie even rearranged our clothes and sorted them out by style (tanks, short-sleeve, 3/4 sleeve, long sleeve)- crazy! My husband’s drawers were impeccable. Everything neatly folded away.
She left with a ton of bags filled with clothes. I did not bother altering them because to take in old clothes from a size 16 to a size 8 was NOT going to happen. I’m starting fresh with new clothes and a home-sewn wardrobe this year! She even takes the clothes to a consignment shop for me and brings me any money I make from clothes they buy and then donates the rest to hospice! I love this lady. I don’t have to do any of that leg work. Totally worth the money. That’s why next week she’ll be back again to tackle another room in my house! YAY!
