We won four hours of organizing services from Lisa at The Time Butler at a charity auction…read more We put off calling Lisa for a few months, but we eventually got around to making the appointment for a two-hour visit. I stalled by giving her a tour of the house, which took up most of the time, but she did "encourage" us to clear off the kitchen table -- we filled up a couple of bags of paper during that exercise. She returned a couple of weeks later, and we used up the other donated hours. On that visit, we cleared out the media shelves in the family room, uncovered the coffee table, and rediscovered the desk. We also filled up several bags of stuff (books, VHS tapes, magazines, toys, and who knows what else) which were suitable for charitable donations -- and Lisa took it all away. She's been back twice since then, helping us deal with the shelves and desk in the kitchen, all of which are organized, clear, and usable for the first time in a long time. And again, we donated a bunch of stuff to charity (as well as filling a recycle bin!). In between visits, I got rid of some excess hardware by putting it on craigslist (most of it sold within an hour); I've also started transferring old VHS tapes to DVD (though why I needed a DVD version of King Dinosaur is a matter of some debate with the rest of the members of the household). There's no magic to it -- we're doing all the work (well, she wields the labelmaker...) and making all the decisions. But she acts as a forcing function -- when she hands us a pile to go through, it seems silly to just put it back where it was (though "later" is always a valid decision -- and I've deferred some things by moving them to a room we haven't reached yet). I'm happy we won her services, and happier that I finally got around to calling and making the appointment!

Carmela is a doll! We found simplify off of a Plum District deal and wow, what a service. I…read morehonestly wish I had an extra $120-$240 a month so I could have this service almost all month all the time. First of all, Carmela sits with you and evaluates what your needs are. She suggests what may help you best and then you get back to her about appt times, what you want done, etc. We ended up having someone come help with basic household stuff (folding laundry, purging a closet, and helping me organize my daughter's room). Robin came out and she was great. She kept me on task (my big cleaning fault, I get distracted and start 4 cleaning project and don't finish one). She was very easy to work with and could definitely trust her to do the job when i wasn't there. In a tough economy a service like this is a tough sell I know. However, the prices are reasonable enough to fit into a non-paycheck to paycheck house (you've got a bit of a buffer). I also think this is a GREAT gift for mother's day, anniversaries, etc. Any lady (or man) you know who needs just a few more hours in the week to get it all done AND enjoy life, Simplify is the place to call. Hope to give you ladies a call again soon!

Informational Summary of Simplify from Co-Founder:…read more Hiring help for your household tasks is a great investment in yourself and your family - shouldering all your own household chores can cost you more than you realize.

We've done our homework, understand the process, and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve while supporting your lifestyle. "Conventional wisdom tells us household help is a luxury for the wealthy. But one of the most effective time management techniques is actually a money-management technique: Pay someone else to do the tasks you don't want to do, so you're free to do what really matters and what you do well. Break the vicious cycle of spending for luxury items that don't free up your time and then having to work harder and longer to pay for them. Instead, spend your money on tools that will help you build the life you've dreamed of. Now that's the real luxury" ~ Kathy Fitzgerald Sherman, author of "A Housekeeper Is Cheaper Than a Divorce: Why You CAN Afford to Hire Help and How to Get It" To learn more visit us online at: www.simplifyhomesolutions.com or give us a call directly at 408-689-7775.

She will also help you take away any items you intend to dump or donate (within reason - as long as it fits in her SUV) which saves me the extra to-do. I'm a super busy mom so having her around as a buddy just helping me sort, organize, and fold was a lifesaver and a treat within itself. She also gave me ideas that were budget friendly so that I can implement on my own. It was basically having another gf around that can chat and get things done. I've worked with her in clearing out our garage (when we first moved to our house). The second time around, she helped us organize the kid's closet space and toys. She convinced me to do toy rotation - and it saved me so much space. Give her a call - you won't regret it!

I'm independent and self-sufficient and this was the first time I enliste someone's help on matters like this. She made it easy for me. When I contacted her, she was quick to respond and very professional. When I spoke with her on the phone, it seemed that she knew what she was doing and had solid experience. She came across as professional and friendly, competent, clear, and ready to get down to business. I've worked in a few different industries in my adult life and have interviewed prospective employees. My intuition on these things has tended to be solid. Ashley fit the bill. She came across as professional and trustworthy. She described her process for handling sensitive information, which I appreciated. She was also very understanding about a recent death in the family that contributed to my overwhelm. We did all the work remotely. She got me up to speed on a shared password system, a project management system, and kept active lists of what we were each doing. This kept my head clear and me on task. She made things easy, and all the work was completed in time. I'm very grateful to Ashley. I highly recommend her to make your life and/or business much easier!

There aren't many trusted rabbit sitters in the area considering the area has far more dog and cat…read moreowners (I get it as we also have a dog and cat ourselves!) Our rabbit is very important to us so I set out to find the best possible pet sitter in the area for peace of mind, that was when I stumbled upon Furry Friends Pet sitting. We boarded our beloved senior rabbit (who is a very sassy bun) for 11 days as we had to leave for an overseas trip. Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was! If you are looking for an experienced rabbit sitter in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to inquire here! Thank you so much for watching our bun! Photos below are from Barbara's daily updates.
