Daughter Lise has been sweeping through the house like a whirlwind, transforming little junk rooms into showcase closets. She is a force of nature that can’t be measured. A few days ago she converted my bedroom linen closet with neat stacks and bins with labels. It’s too bad I don’t have a “before” photo, but I am not into self-flagellation.
This morning I woke with a very itchy wrist. It was time to test the system. I figured a soothing lotion should be in that closet, and it was in the first bin I withdrew. Yes! Lise’s system worked perfectly for me! I shall lead the applause for my wonder-working daughter!

I organized my new kitchen pantries in a similar manner, and everything has a place. It really works well! Good job, Lise!

Kudos to Lise, what a loving daughter and helpful too. An inspiration I would love to employ, but all I have is the before picture. It is easy to get overwhelmed with stuff and just stuff in somewhere. That’s my story all too often. Congratulations Lise.

You and I had the same system. I hope I can stay organized after Lise goes home.

WE are in that stage of life where help from our kiddos is an overwhelming blessing. A few weeks ago our water heater gave it up after 22 years. Our son-in-love, Ken, got back off vacation and the next day installed a new one. Even in my healthiest days I wouldn’t have known where to start. Your daughter is MoneLISE!

Lucky you! Actually, my daughter is the same way, amazing organizer. But I doubt she’d have time or inclination to do our place! Our apartment looks… um, well – very lived in!
