Hi, I'm Sam—a Certified Professional Organizer® based in the San Francisco Bay Area and the voice behind Simply Organized. This blog has been my passion project since 2010, and it's where I get to share everything I've learned from organizing hundreds of homes. You'll find real strategies that work in real life, honest product recommendations, project transformations, and the organizing philosophy that guides all my work: maintainable over perfect. Let's create a home that works beautifully for how you actually live.

As we gear up for back-to-school, many of my mom readers out there may be scheming planning all the things you’ll do with those few peaceful, kid-free hours. And I’m certain working out is on that dream list. I mentioned this month that in prep for the back-to-school routine around here I’d be sharing a […]

Life has been pretty hectic around these parts and it’s only going to get more hectic with the return of a school routine. I also have a lot of clients booking me to help work out some hot spots around their homes before back to school. Previously I shared a list of 20 snacks and […]
