A few weeks ago I spoke to a group of women at the Verse Media event held at Longview Gallery in Washington, DC. The event was put together by Birch Event and Design and photographed by Mariah Miranda and boy, what an event it was! The group got to hear from me, as an organizing […]

It is no secret that sometimes, it doesn’t matter how hard I try, I am way more of an Amazon Prime mom than a Pinterest mom. As I am sure many of you are like me, I want to share my favorite Amazon finds that help simplify my life (and not just because they are […]

I am a brand ambassador with The Container Store and this blog was written in partnership with them. We have been talking a lot lately about getting your tween or teen organized and today we are doing to dive in to organizing their physical stuff. As my girls get older and just by nature have […]

Getting organized with tweens really starts with a great calendar system and it is what we practice in our home. Truly developing good organizational skills is a key ingredient for success at home, at school and really in life. Having a system that is visual for keeping appointments, activities, reminders, schedules and more has really proved to be beneficial in several areas than just home. Creating and maintaining a calendar also creates more organization around morning and night routines, study skills and at for at school.

The ELFA utility door solution was such an easy system to use and a wonderful solution for really any door that you own. I am a big believer in taking advantage of vertical space and if you have a blank door, you have that much more storage space.

2019 was a tremendous year in some many different areas and I am extremely grateful for it all. I could not run this little business of mine without my team and I am so fortunate to have committed, enthusiastic, brilliant, organized, and loving team members that help make Rachel and Company the best organizing firm in the Washington, DC area (dare I say even outside the area?!)

The holidays are a time that can run awry for even the most organized (raising my hand over here) I want to make sure I am not just providing yet another gift guide but thoughtful advice on how to stay organized this season and a list curated with the intention of adding value and function rather than clutter to the gift receiver’s home.

Having methods and systems in place, really made a difference in my business and household carrying on when I could not. I know for certain that being organized enriches my life and allows me to say yes to more. And this goes for not just people suffering with autoimmune diseases but all of those that have an illness in their lives whether physical or mental that makes them not feel their best all the time.

As a professional organizer, you would think that I would have a Candy Spelling-worthy wrapping room but this has always been an area of my life and home that has struggled. However, as we are heading into the holiday season I am changing that-I took a trip to The Container Store and am setting myself up for success this year. Because hey, I have decided that this year, I deserve it!
