20th Annual NAPO Conference

NAPO Logo Today, I’m on my way to Reno for the 20th Annual NAPO Conference… so exciting! Tomorrow, I’ll spend my day in a training workshop in which I’ll learn more about the ins and outs of owning and operating a professional organizing business. Then Thursday, the conference will officially begin with an opening keynote address by none other than Peter Walsh! “I’m still geekin’ out about it!”
Training seminars, break-out sessions, product demonstrations, presentations, networking, hundreds of successful professional organizers… it’s sure to be overwhelming, yet exhilirating! In fact, I’ll get to schmooze and rub shoulders with some of the most renowned professional organizers in the industry!

By the time I return home, I’ll definitely have loads of new experiences and information to share with you!

Seminar : Get Organized, Mom!

MOPS Logo - Mothers of Preschoolers Woohoo! Thanks to a referral made by Candace Steyn, I have been invited to conduct an organizing presentation for the Northeast Christian Church MOPS group in Lexington, KY!

What: “Get Organized, Mom!” Seminar
When: Thursday, February 21st @ 9:00am
Where: Northeast Christian Church, Lexington, KY
Cost: Free!

The seminar will include tips on how to get (and stay) organized with children through all the stages—infancy, toddlerhood, preschool years, and beyond.

I will share plenty of practical tips and ideas including:

  • managing schedules,
  • maintaining accurate records,
  • storing clothes, toys, and other children’s items,
  • travelling with children (from shopping trips to long vacations), and
  • cultivating your marriage and personal interests.

In addition, the MOPS moms have been asked to bring photos of the most cluttered (i.e., least organized) rooms of their homes. During the meeting, without knowing which photo belongs to which mom, each woman will vote on which room she believes should be deemed the “messiest.”

At the end of the organizing presentation, all votes cast will be tallied and the “messiest room” award winner will receive a 1-hour organizing gift certificate (a $40 value)! Plus, there will be plenty of free samples, door prizes, handouts, and ideas to take home!

I can hardly wait! Hope to see you there!

BTW: If you join us at the MOPS meeting, please stick around after the presentation to chat with me. Plus, mention my blog for a special bonus!
