Today and Monday, are days that I normally go ALL OUT to promote my business and share fabulous organizing deals with my clients, friends and those looking to be more organized.

Holiday parties are in the works. In fact, I am going to one tomorrow night. With just two weeks ’til Thanksgiving and a month and a half until Christmas the signs are everywhere that the holiday madness is beginning. Do you feel it? Organized Holidays I do.

Recently, I sat down with Barbara Wagner, owner of Bahoukas, president of the Havre de Grace Green Team, former Havre de Grace Council Woman, mom and registered dietician.
