About
Meet Lela
My name is Lela, (say it like LEE-luh) and I’m so glad you stopped by my blog! Whether you need help organizing, decluttering, tweaking daily routines, or you just think my pets are cute, you’ll find all kinds of inspo here.
Hello, friend!
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a former professional organizer turned full-time blogger, and I do things a little differently around here than the organization content you’re used to. You won’t find unrealistically staged areas, perfect containers lined up in rows with useless gaps in between, and you definitely won’t see me arranging my refrigerator in rainbow order.
I spend every single day of my life helping busy people get their homes and lives Organized-ish so they have more time for the things they care about and spend less time searching for the scissors.
Fun facts about myself:
- I’m obsessed with denim, so plan on seeing a lot of it here.
- My rescue dog sheds more than a wool rug store, so I’m rarely seen without a vacuum in my hand.
- I name everything. Plants, rugs, furniture, stray cats, appliances, and neighbors. Yes, I know my neighbors have names, but mine are better.
- I’ve got a sassy sense of humor. Just making sure you’re down with that.

Change the sheets and clean the house before leaving for a trip. It’s the best feeling ever when you come home. Thanks Mom!
