Organizing for Parents: Professional Organizers Blog Carnival

August 21, 2019

Janet Barclay

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don't have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I'm away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

For this month’s edition of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival, I asked my readers to submit their blog posts about Organizing for Parents.

Our sponsor for August is Keepy, the organizing app for parents to save and privately share, enrich, and treasure their kids’ artwork, schoolwork, awards, photos and other memories and even turn them into photo books and other photo gifts.

On top of common day-to-day organizing issues, parents face the unique challenges of managing spaces and schedules for the whole family and continually adapting them as their children grow from infancy to young adulthood. Click to Tweet
