Ellen Madere will demonstrate tactics for keeping clutter under control with small children tonight at 7 p.m. at LYSB.
The Holistic Moms Network hosts Ellen Madere of Ellen Gets It Done this evening at 7 p.m. at Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau (LYSB). Madere will give a presentation titled, “Keeping Clutter at Bay with Small Children”
Organizational consultant Madere will lead attendees room to room discussing strategies, methods and solutions for how to keep the “stuff” of small children under control and manageable.
On her website, Madere explains, “After many exciting years working as a picture editor for the likes of Fortune, Psychology Today, Rolling Stone, and Esquire, I became a mom and moved to, of all places, Old Lyme, Connecticut. Raising kids became my new job. They turned out splendidly and are now out of the house.”
She continues, “Through all my personal and professional endeavors (photo editing, coordinating the activities of my husband, kids and dogs, not to mention plenty of volunteer work), two principles have guided me: a penchant for punctiliousness and a love of restoring order, adding, “That fleeting sense of calm that overcomes you when you’ve finally attacked the junk drawer? I live for it. No project is too big. No life is too messy. Nothing shocks me. Let my OCD work for you. I will make order of your chaos, and you’ll live happily ever after. DONE.”
