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!”

LOVE photo shoots and am oh-so-close to Utah!
Thanks for the tips! I would love you to take some pics of my little family! We haven't had a real "session" since my newest arrived who is now 3 months. So that would be so fun! Thanks for your giveaway!
I would LOVE to win a shoot. I livce in SLC but head to Alpine every week. (family there).
I would like to know where you would get the large styrofoam matting done. And to print a good square print.
Lisa
Thanks for the ideas! I have tons of pictures and am always wondering how to best display them!
I would love to have you take our family pics!
I wouldn't be able to win, cause I'm way up north (unless you plan on visiting the middle of Canada soon?)
But I do want to share that you are totally right! Every year my hubby goes on "Man Trips" with his friends, 5 days of football, hockey, beer and driving too far in a mini van. they take tons of photos
We recently finished our basement (or "Man Pit" as the man likes to call it) and I needed some good inexpensive wall art.
I looked through all his photos, printed a bunch in black and white for a uniform look and printed many with coloured borders (in black and orange, his favorite teams colours.) I found an old speed limit sign at my Grandfathers farm (out in the bush) and mounted it on the wall, then surrounded it with framed 4X6s, 5X9 and 8X10. some are in glass frames, some are in matted frames, and I put them all in random spots around the sign. It looks great! (It was a smaller wall, so I could get away with smaller photos.)
you have an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing! The winner of your photo shoot will be very lucky!
i love these ideas! we are going to BYU currently living in an apartment (that can use these decorating tips) and just barely had our new baby boy!! i would love to have some awesome newborn pictures taken of the cute little guy.
I would love a family portrait session, or since the cut-off is right before my daughter's birthday a photo session of just her. Not sure which but I would love the photo session!
I would love a family photo session! Thanks for the great ideas!
What a cool giveaway! We're coming to Utah this summer and this would be great! Love your ideas. :)
I would LOVE to win family photos! As a photographer myself, I have NEVER had a family photo with my in it! (And I have 3 awesome kiddos!) I hope I win!!!!
I would love pictures of my children. I have a daughter that needs to get pictures in her Baptism dress and a 3 month old that needs to get a picture in his blessing outfit. This would be wonderful to remember their special days.
i think it would be fun to win your cd of photos that i can use for decorating, what a great idea!!
I would love to have a family sitting! I don't live in Utah, but I visit every summer. Thanks for the chance to win! You're pictures are fantastic!
I would love a family session and I'm only 15 minutes from UT County so it's perfect!

I live in California, but I would love to come to Utah for a photo shoot! We have 3 kids and we don't have any pictures with all of us in them!
I want the session, your work is great, and I live in Ut Co.

By the way, I just had a lime green kitchen and I LOVED it! Some people thought it was crazy though…more of a kelly green?

I live in Iowa so I would love to have a CD of your prints.
Thanks for sharing all your tips. So great ideas.
I tweeted about the giveaway!!
OH MY Gosh! Marcie Jessee has given me inspiration for a life time. I have lived in my home for 2 years now and the walls in most of the house is a really drab grey, I detest it but I really don't have the time or energy to paint. So I have left my walls prety much bare not knowing how I wanted to proceed with the decorating. Well not any more! I am going to figure out which photos I want enlarged. and go for it. My kitchen is supposed to be a farmer's market theme and a year ago I took tons of Farmer's market photos. Now I am going to enjoy choosing the ones I want in my kitchen. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS POST!
Put me down for the photo shoot! I live in Utah county and really need new family pictures; I'd be thrilled to win!
I love your wall art ideas. They are such a good idea when you're not able to paint your walls, and when your walls are painted. I would LOVE to do family pictures! All my kids's birthdays are in the summer (Aug & Sept) and Sept my baby will turn 1. It would be so AWESOME to capture the memories (since I'm so bad at making my own photos look good).
I would love a family session for my family of 6. We are way over due for a family picture!
My husband and I live in Idaho and go down to Utah to visit my mum often. She lives in Provo and has three beautiful girls at home. We would love, love, love a family photo session. She is the most deserving woman I know and this would be such a treat for all of us! Thanks for sharing your talent with us all.
I Don't live in Utah, but I would LOVE the CD of pictures! I could use some new living room decor. =)Thanks so much!
I would love to win a photo session, we haven't had a new family pic since the addition of our wee twiners.

i would love to have some photos of my 4 kids, especially my newborn twin boys. :)
WOW! Pick me!!!! Pick me!!! PICK MEEEE!!!! A session for my family would be amazing. My husband has been nagging (isn't that the wife's job ;)) me for a year to get our family picture taken. This would really help me check a big one off the to-do list.
PS: FABULOUS wall art ideas.
I would love to win the family session. Our last family photo was when my oldest who will be 4 soon was 3 months old. My 2 year old son isn't even in any of our pictures. Its time for some new ones!
[email protected]
I would LOVE of photo shoot of my family, a total of 5 of us. It has been way too long since we have had a family picture taken. The main reason was I didn't have hair for the longest time because of chemo… but now I DO! YEA! So pictures have been on my mind. I live in Davis County.
I live in Utah County and would love the photo session. I do a little photography myself and am always looking for more pointers from others. Thanks for the post.
I don't know if it counts or not, but I would love to have pictures taken at my bro-in-laws wedding. My father-in-law is coming back from Iraq for R&R so he can be there for his son. It's a really low budget wedding and they want some pictures and I think it would be SOO cool if I won so they could have some of your beautiful pictures.
I tweeted about the giveaway!
