Welcome to the Organized Life by Design Network
Melissa, Multitasking Mama
Welcome to Organized Life by Design! We want all women to create happy and organized homes, schedules and lives! Let's stop putting so much pressure on ourselves for everything to be "perfect" and find systems that work for us and our families to keep things running smoothly. We can help you get from where you are to where you need to be. Let's turn any chaos to calm together!
The Organizer, Melissa Multi-Tasking Mama, will be posting on different topics. Melissa will be discussing different strategies and ideas for implementing organization and order in your life. In addition we will be talking about living your life by God's design through various blogs about marriage, raising kids, taking care of yourself and more.
Please share with us how you keep your family, home, business and just your life in general, running smoothly! Also let us know if you have specific organizing questions that our professional organizers can answer for you. Look for our blog and forum posts for tips and ways to keep family life balanced. The more organized- the less stress- the less stress- the more you can relax and enjoy your blessings!

Featured Member of the Month
This month's featured member is Alyssa Avant. Alyssa orginally began Organized Life by Design and I bought it from her in July 2008. She wanted to focus on her ministry and has been busy having a baby and birthing another ministry since then. She is a true multi-tasker.
Her latest project, Faith Leaps, is a fabulous three month program for women feeling led to ministry but not knowing how or where to start. I have participated in this program and it is fabulous. Alyssa just recently upped the ante with this great program by including 1:1 coaching with her as part of one of the packages.
Be sure to stop by her Faith Leaps site, her ministry site and her blog. You won't regret getting to know this member of our community better!
