Ambry Organizing, Simplify and Design

More family peace and joy with Ambry Kids!
Have you felt like there's too much stuff and not enough time? Have you walked by your child's bedroom or playroom and felt a sense of frustration? Do you and your child have power struggles over clean-up, organization, and stuff?

We make your family life more joyful by working with your child to organize their toys, books, clothing, and precious possessions. By guiding your child, we gradually train them to sort their things, assess whether each thing should be kept, donated, or tossed, and then where to put their things.

We help you, the parent, through the different needs that children have with each life stage. These include:

Preparing for a baby. Nesting, stocking supplies, and preparing space so that you can feel comfortable and ready for babyhood.
Toddler and preschool years. There can be a plethora of toys and crafts in these phases of childhood! We help sort through the toys and crafts, figuring out how to have efficient and attractive storage.
Elementary years. These children have more books, and also need to organize schoolwork. As they develop more independence, they benefit from being empowered to curate their possessions, organize their belongings, and take responsibility in their family. As digital interaction increases, they may need dedicated electronic spaces that are stable, yet integrated in family life. We can advise and help implement strategies, for these, as well as provide structure for chores.
Tween and teen years. Children are making the transition to adulthood and independence. They often appreciate having outside advisors who can advise about life skills and organization while supporting their drives toward personal goals.
Leaving the nest. Congratultions are in order here! We help the young person get organized, so that they are well-equipped to venture out, whether to college, first job, or first home on their own. Also, we help you, the parent, organize and sort through your space as things change with a child leaving home.

Monica's approach to simplicity in my home was two fold. She came in with a caring understanding attitude that was also strong and encouraging. She came into one of the most personal aspects of my life without judgment. We worked tirelessly helping to clear out the clutter.

Once the hard part was done, Monica did not stop there! She was instrumental in helping me put on the finishing touches. One thing I love is when she would make a suggestion about a decor idea, and I did not like it, she was never offended, she would just say "okay, let's see what else will work", and oh boy did she make things work! My husband, who resists change in the worst way, could easily conform to the changes (he could see how happy it made me). It was always about me and my needs.

Since her help back in 2008, I have relocated. I called on Monica again, and though she cannot be here physically, she has helped me over the phone, email, and video. I have other options where I live now, but cannot bear the idea of anyone else helping me in this area. If you are fortunate enough to live near Monica I encourage you to get her help, big or small!
