Learn how you can get your home organized with my easy step-by-step organization course. My course is full of organization ideas as well as home organization tips and tricks to get your life and home organized and keep it that way.
ONLINE DECLUTTERING COURSE
For the past several months I have been putting together my Online Organization Course, The Balanced Home. I am excited to teach you my decluttering and cleaning process. These processes also teach you how to create simple routines and cleaning schedules which allow you to naturally maintain your clean and organized home.
No need to hire a professional organizer, or live with the clutter because you will have the skills and learn how to overcome any mental barriers or fears you might have to get started!

- Helping you clearly identify what is holding you back from success
- Teaching you how to organize your schedule to create new pockets of time

Your Ideal Home
The best processes to set and achieve your vision by breaking it down into actionable steps ($300 Value). Teaches you how to break down an overwhelming project into small, manageable steps, by:
- Clearly defining your goal and vision for your home
- Learning how to evaluate specific rooms and identify what you want to be improved
- Identifying specific, easy to complete tasks in each room that will contribute to your overall goal without overwhelming you

- Providing you with the basic cleaning routines you need to naturally stay in control of your home
- Teaching you my amazing “Ten-Minute Clean-up” process, which allows you to clean an entire floor / room in ten minutes or less!
- Showing you how to establish routines with your kids and other members of the family
- Sharing important resources such as chore cards, favorite cleaning products, and a deep-cleaning checklist, and more
- Explaining the laundry routine we use in our home to get our laundry done every week without even thinking about it
- Teaching you how to deep clean your home after it has been decluttered and organized
- Showing you how to help the other members of your household be on the same page and not “unclean” your home
During the course, we will:
- Show you the process of how to go throughout your home decluttering, cleaning, and organizing. Then you can take this process and go throughout all the rooms in your home–including the bathrooms, kitchen, craft room, home office, basement, entryway, playroom, garage, attic, and all other rooms in your home–cleaning and organizing.
- Clean out and organize not just the rooms themselves, but organization spaces such as closets, shelves, drawers, and bookshelves.
- Learn how to properly use organization equipment, such as bins, drawer organizers, storage bins, food storage containers, lids, and baskets.
The Private Balanced Home Community
(BONUS – Priceless). Provides a community that you can go to whenever you need a place where you…
- Seek inspiration and ideas from others
- Receive support and motivation from others
- Share your successes and see the successes of others as we all work towards finding balance and clarity in our homes.
- Can ask questions and let me know what you may still need help with so that I can continue to cater the course to your needs
What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

i love these posts!!!!
even with my point & shoot camera there are always some great tips!
my favorites from this one: whisper, ride & eat..great shots!
thanks again for sharing!
xo
love the "walk" ones especially! GREAT PICS! i tried to get my nieces & nephews to do some of these things on my recent "photo shoot" (i don't feel like i'm even competent enough to use that phrase…). they looked awkward even when they were walking, talking, etc. any tips on getting people to look more natural?
I love those ruffly skirts the girls are wearing, wear did you find them????
Also, I love your tips and tutorials they are great!!!!
Amazing. I love this. I am going to write these down and try to think of some more. Your photography really is amazing.
I have a question. I don'tknow if you can answer it. But, every time I try to take picture in manuel (I am still learning a lot) they end up blurry. So if I said to "run" I would just end up with lots of blurry shots. Do you know what I am doing wrong? I don't know if you know the answer…but if you do, will you please help? Love when you give us photography tutorials like this!! Thank you.
Liz–just take lots when walking/talking. Some will look funny, but there is often one or two golden moments captured.
Jessica–the skirts are pettiskirts and I got them years ago at a folk dance company that just does bulk orders and I got together with a bunch of photographers and I ordered 4 myself (for $20 each). They are starting to sell them all over now, just maybe more pricey ($50-80). I'll look around and see what I can find.
Tasha–what is your shutter speed? You do need to crank it up. In earlier posts, I said don't go below 1/125 with still portraits, I'd say don't go below 1/250 for faster movement, but I don't always remember that myself. The two girls jumping–not all in focus, but a little blur gives drama, too.
I use "WINK" and "LAUGH"! And I love, love, love your posts! I'm a huge fan. :)
Wow! What beautiful photography. I'm no professional photographer and I don't have a professional camera but I love to take pics. I will use some of these suggestions.

Kristen those photos are so amazing! Your family portrait is also so darling! As I begin to shoot in manual mode 90% of the time (thanks to what I've learned from you) I realize how challenging this hobby is, and to see your awesome photos makes me strive for a higher goal! Thank you so so much!!!
I'm an aspiring portrait photographer and I love your ideas for candid photographs! I most shoot posed photographs, so your post has definitely encouraged me to branch out more!!
I'm slowly learning how to use the manual settings on my camera, but I keep going back to Program mode – it's my safety blanket haha.
Do you have a website/blog of your own?
After putting on my detective hat, I've found your facebook page and website =P
Thank you – I think I may have just found what I need to get a good picture out of my little girls who love to tell secrets! I'll just tell my oldest to tell her little sister a secret, and we could have a good picture for once! Thanks for the tips.
Kristin you sound like you have such a fun personality and you are so cute in your pictures with your family. Thanks for sharing so many of your tips with all of us! You do a great job and I am glad you are able to do something you love to do.
I love hearing from you and that something I have shared is helping you! Thanks for your kind words–its boosts me up so much!
I like to subtly put links to my blog…google my name, too:)
Kristen this is FABULOUS!!….this is one thing I've really struggled with and you hit the nail on the head!!….everything "clicked" when you put it this way.
I'm writing these words done and putting them in my folder!
Thanks! Have a GREAT weekend!
Hi! I just purchased the finger puppet pattern two days ago and purchased the travel games (5) today. I can no longer access my primary email that was used for my paypal account. I just added my current email and was wondering if you could send my purchases to my new primary email account. My old email was hacked into so I changed the password and can't for the life of me remember it:( my email is [email protected]
Thanks!
Amy West
Kristen, I love your posts. I get really excited to read what great tips and ideas you share.
I can't wait to try out these ideas for more candid shots. I already have them written and down and they are going in my camera bag. Thanks again!

The last "Run" picture (the family in navy with the dog) is may favorite! Great photos!
