Let’s face it, life is busy! Between work, taking care of our kids and driving them to and from their various activities, and other family demands, things can start piling up at home. Before you know it, toys are strewn across the floor, mail and papers start to stack up on the counter, and the basement becomes a dump zone for everything that doesn’t fit elsewhere. For many parents, the weight of clutter isn’t just physical—it’s emotional.
As the owner of New Day Organizing, Sandy Eaton offers judgment-free support and practical systems that help families reclaim both their homes and their peace of mind.
Getting Started
Every project begins with a phone call. Sandy will gather info on what her client needs help with. “What’s driving you crazy: kids’ toys, the basement, the attic? What do you want to accomplish?” With that clarity, she walks in the door armed with sorting bins and Post-it notes, ready to guide clients through her simple but powerful process: clear, categorize, create systems.
Sandy helps families sort items into keep, toss, and donate piles while also designing logical systems that make cleanup quick, efficient, and easy for anyone to maintain. “When you know where things go, everybody knows how to help,” she says.
Judgment-Free Support
There is no shame in needing help. “You’re calling me for a reason,” Sandy reminds clients. “Do you apologize to the plumber when you call them? Of course not.” Life can get messy with kids, pets, and busy schedules. She’s here to help.
Letting go isn’t always easy. Sandy compares it to exercising a new muscle. “At first, it can feel painful,” she says. “But once you realize the world doesn’t fall apart when you let something go, it gets easier and easier. That’s when you feel lighter.”
Systems That Stick
Unlike a Pinterest-perfect makeover that looks good for a week and then unravels, Sandy’s systems are designed to last. She often involves the whole family, especially kids. “Parents think kids can’t do it, but with direction and reinforcement, they can,” she explains. Simple strategies, like turning cleanup into a five-minute race or offering stickers for putting toys away, can transform tidying into a game.
The real secret, though, is consistency. “One or two minutes a day keeps clutter from piling into hours of work,” Sandy says. She encourages a “one in, one out” rule: for every new pair of shoes or toy that comes in, something else goes into the donation box.
More Than Organizing
For Sandy, organizing isn’t about getting rid of things; it’s about making room for what truly matters, whether that’s space, time, or energy.
As Thanksgiving—her favorite holiday—approaches, Sandy reflects on why she loves this work. “It’s not about stuff. It’s about being with people and being grateful for what you have.”
