Welcome to the Organized 365 Podcast. My name is Lisa Woodruff and I'm a professional

organizer and blogger in Cincinnati, Ohio. I want to help you get your home

organized and help you organize life stages and unexpected events.

So sit back, relax, and let's get organized.

This week I am answering a reader question.

Hi Lisa, I really love your tips in all your emails and blogs about organizing.

I haven't seen anything about combining households and I just moved in with my boyfriend

and I just don't even know where to start. All I've been doing for the past few months

is just purging and purging and trying to start organizing,

but I don't even have a starting point.

So if you have any tips or tricks that you maybe use I

swear I would hire you if I could but any tips would be

be helpful on your next blog.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your question.

These are the kind of organizing ideas that I keep forgetting to blog about and there are things

that are really, really important to people and how to combine households.

I mean it's very, very common combining households both with children, without children, or even if you just

wait later in life to get married and you both have your own complete houses or condos with

everything that you need in them and you've gotten married, you know, in your late 30 30s and now you have to combine all

that into one house. So great question. Thank you for asking. I'm looking

forward to answering. We see this a lot, especially in professional organizing clients, because this is kind of hard to figure out how to combine households.
