Hi and thanks for visiting From Overwhelmed To Organized!
I'm Hilda and I blog from Mississauga, Ontario where I live with my husband and 2 children. I love my family and I love organizing our home and our lives!
We have lived in a small townhouse since 1999. When our son was born in 2004 and our daughter was born in 2006, we moved our office and spare room to the basement, which also functions as a storage area, exercise room, and playroom. It can get chaotic down there!
I've worked full-time in education until September 2011 and chose to spend most of my non-working hours with my hubby and kids, instead of keeping our house as organized as it should have been. Plus, our family was growing and our needs kept changing so often we outgrew the systems I did set up.
We also accumulated a lot the last few years. I got overwhelmed trying to stay on top of everything. And a cluttered house causes a cluttered mind and life.
Early in 2012 we made the decision that my hubby would be the main bread-winner in our family instead of me and ever since I've been on a journey to simplify our lives through purging and organizing. It's already making me feel so much freer.
After being introduced to several amazing organizing blogs in the Spring of 2012, I decided to share my journey and some tips to help others too, because I'm quite certain I'm not the only overwhelmed person :)
And so, From Overwhelmed To Organized was born!
What else do you want to know about me? Hmm... I love purple (as evidenced by the amount of purple on this blog!) and I adore chocolate... and ice cream... and brownies... oh and chocolate with ice cream and brownies!
Most importantly for you though is the fact that I love organizing and I love helping others get organized. It makes such a huge difference in our daily lives.
If you have any specific organizing challenges that are overwhelming you, check out the contact me page for details on how you can share those with me. I'll do my best to help you out!
I'm so glad you've joined me on this journey from overwhelmed to organized! Happy organizing!

Thanks Carri! I've been thinking about adding a "Contact Me" tab... guess I should get on that :) Thanks for the Sunshine Award! I'm honoured that you find my blog inspiring. That's a big part of why I'm blogging so that really means a lot!
DeleteHey there, just found you through the Let's Get Social linky party! Another Canadian, whoo! hoo! Love that! I also find the color in your header SO pretty! And, last but not least, I feel like I've just met my twin separated at birth, lol! I have started a series Decluttering 101, because, like you, I'm trying to get the clutter out of my life, and get my life back, for Heaven's sake! And, I just became your newest follower, yay! Would so appreciate if you would follow back! And, I'm really looking forward to getting to know you better, you fellow Canadian, you! Oops! Guess I've said the Canadian "thing" a time or two, lol!
ReplyDeleteI have started following you for a while now. I started my blog to share my everyday adventures of being a working mother. But one thing I just cant get done is STAYING organized! I do very well purging and organizing but to keep it there is the hardest part for me and my family. Im going to be reading through your blog to keep me going!
ReplyDeleteAloha and thank you for sharing!
