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.

We recognize that clients may become overwhelmed when starting their organizational journey. We work at your pace, encouraging you along the way, while keeping the process moving forward. Together we will problem solve your space layout issues and communicate and action plan.

Here is our 3 step process:

Step 1. Sort
The simplifying phase involves pulling everything out of an area and sorting things and grouping into “like kinds”.

Step 2. Simplify
In this stage, you will choose what stays or what goes. We will define these groups to either keep, store, or let go i.e.: trash, recycling or donate.

Step 3. Contain
By now we have simplified your space. We have purged and categorized your items. Next we are able to discuss how you would like to store and contain your items.

At this point we may make recommendations to purchase additional supplies such as shelving or storage containers. We are willing to shop with you or independently.

In this final phase, we pull everything together and stage your space for completion. Once organized, you’ll have a general “home” for all of your belongings and the necessary tools to maintain your space.
