When life is simplified and decluttered, life is easier.
Meet Melissa
Blogger & Organizer
Hi! I’m Melissa, mom, organizer, and owner of Life with Less Mess! As a teacher, then a mom, then an organizer, I’ve learned (first hand, over and over) the benefits that being organized can bring into lives – especially busy lives with lots of kids running around!
For the past four years, I’ve been helping clients get their chaos under control, but I’m taking a step back to focus on my own (and maybe yours, too!).
Follow along as I organize, declutter, and DIY my way through my spaces. By living my life with less mess, I hope I can motivate and inspire you to do the same! LEARN MORE
