Jane,

Call it my mid-life crisis. Call it a cry for help. Call it whatever! But I thank God every day for the changes that have occurred in my life over the last six months -- and your amazing, insightful, encouraging services were a huge part of the positive direction I'm traveling!

Trying to manage the clutter and craziness of living in a small townhome with two children and two grown kids (myself and my husband) had become an exercise in futility for our whole family. We had too much STUFF and no where to put it all! And everytime we tried to conquer the mess, it just seemed simply to shift from one corner to another.

Enter Jane, The Clutter Coach!

Over the course of a month, with just one three-hour session a week, you helped us reclaim this house, and more important our sense of peace within our space.

Suddenly our under the stairs closet which had been stuffed with STUFF became a joyful play space for our 4 year old daughter -- and voila, we can actually see the floor in our living room!  Then, there was our master bedroom which had become the catch all room for all of the miscellaneous STUFF and is now a space of tranquility that includes a creative corner for me to craft or write or just sit and think. We also worked in the dining room, and the kitchen and now there is a place for everything we need and use!

What's more amazing to me than the work that we did in August and September is the fact that even December, after Christmas, with new STUFF, I can truly say that things are still in order! 

Our master bedroom closet is still organized...with the clothes hung by color order and facing the right way! Morgan's playroom was weeded of unused toys in mid-December and loaded up with her new stuff on the day after Christmas. The kitchen is tidy, and when I need something, I know just where to find it! In fact, I'm doing a lot more cooking and we're doing a lot less eating out now that I am enjoying the space again. And we've had guests over without having to spend a whole day freaking out about getting the house clean!

As my husband has said time and time again, "Having Jane come out and help us was the best money we've EVER spent!"

So, thank you, Jane. For your time, encouragement and wonderful spirit. Yours is a service that cannot be matched with fancy closet organizers, books on becoming more organized, or hours and hours of frustrated attempts for "fix" it on our own.

I would encourage any family that finds themselves standing in the middle of the house staring at the mess through glazed eyes to call the Clutter Coach. It'll be the best gift you've ever given yourselves!

Blessing,

Carrie and Jeff, Chris and Morgan Lucas
