Moving her family across the country (TO the country, she claims) has been a huge adjustment, but an incredible experience for her. In Nashville, the stars aligned and she met her business partner, Joanna! Together, they launched a home organization business called The Home Edit.
If you aren't familiar with The Home Edit it's time to get yourself caught up because it will rock your drawers!

They teamed up with Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine to produce Master the Mess that gives you a peek into their Hollywood projects, It was so popular Netflix took notice and will be launching a spinoff.
If you need a little (or alot!) of The Home Edit in your life, you can pickup their book: The Home Edit: A Guide To Organizing and Realizing Your House Goals that will inspire you in ways that you just might do it! It's super easy to incorporate their tips with their product line exclusively available from The Container Store.
Although she once called LA home, she loves the food, energy and scenery of the city. Plus, the shopping at White's Mercantile is pretty great.
Prior to starting The Home Edit, Clea attended the Parsons School of Design—okay, we totally know why she’s so talented! Her guilty pleasures include Harry Potter, The Real Housewives of “Anything” and trips to Target. Maybe next time she heads to Target we can tag along and she can spill all of her design secrets – fingers crossed!

Read for my toddler's bedtime. This book is excellent for kids! Teaching kids to clean up and exactly where to put away. My toddler apply her learning the next day! This book tells kids to put books on bookshelf, dirty dishes in the sink, clean dishes on the shelves, trash in the trashcan, dirty clothes in the hamper, etc! I love books that tells exactly what to do. The illustrations are great!

August 30, 2025a book with a controversial thesis - you should put things away when you're done with them. I happen to know a few critics of this philosophy.

Cute and a good talking point with young kids.

First sentence: All day long, we take things out and we put things away. Everything has a home! You just have to know where it is. Where do toys go? In the bins! Where do books go? On the bookshelf!
Premise/plot: A board book concept book on tidying up. It is more about teaching kids to be responsible--at least in part--for tidying up.
My thoughts: I never knew I needed this book. It is a simple book, in some ways. I love the question and answer format. I don't necessarily love, love, love the illustrations. However I enjoyed the text.

I'm totally on board with this concept, but I got tripped up on our family's "homes" for things versus the suggestions in the book. I guess you can just name the "homes" illustrated in the book and start a discussion about how organization works in your own home. Colorful but fairly elementary illustrations.

I'll take a book that teaches organization and cleanliness to kids any day

Love the illustrations!

A little overly prescriptive but I love that they are challenging the notion that kids can’t help tidy
