Question:I am in Huntsville,Al.
Answers:
I am an ORGANIZER, but I live too far away from you (unless you want to pay travel expenses from south Florida?).
Otherwise, if you can find any in your local phonebook, call several maid services and see if they have anyone who specializes in organization or if they know someone who does. If not, then I would place an ad in the HELP WANTED section of your local newspaper asking for someone who is HIGHLY ORGANIZED who could organize your house. Ask her to bring b4 & after fotos of things she's done and at least 3 references. If she has a business license that's great, but not totally needed, as a lot of maids (most of them I've known dont have business licenses), but do lock away ALL VALUABLES and MEDICATIONS b4 you let anyone loose in your home ! Even licensed people steal (and some of their employees do also -- so be careful & lock heirlooms, money, jewelry, credit cards, I.D.s away in your safe or somewhere where she wont have access (attick maybe -- hidden). Get yourself a WATERPROOF/FIREPROOF small home safe asap from WAL-MART, HOME DEPOT, OFFICE DEPOT, ETC -- you can get one for as little as $20 to about $50 for small ones (and buy the 3" to 4" screws to secure it to your floor or rafters b4 letting anyone in your home! Even relatives steal things (friends do too) -- sad, but true! Someone took by grandmothers' engagement ring from my house some 30+ years ago. I had accidently left it on the end table while I dusted earlier that day b4 I had a party & I didnt remember til the next day after the party --- it was gone ! It was of deep sentimental value to me (maybe worth $20 for the 2nd-hand gold market), but it meant the world to me & I never saw it again !!
It's sad, but you MUST secret away your valuables, if you dont want them to be missing !

Ikea!
IKEA, IKEA, IKEA.
I live in a major metropolitan area with access to unlimited shopping opportunities. But I'm an IKEA addict, it's cheap, well made, and the selection is endless.
