Delegate? Ditch? Keep? Donate? Dust Bunnies? No? Maybe? We're excited to know that Jon and Kate have hired a real-life Professional Organizer!
There are some that love and watch this show and keep track of the children as if Jon and Kate are their family members. There are equally as many people that are tired of the drama and do everything they can to stay away from this TLC show family. However, I was reading my colleague, John Trosko's blog today and came across his post announcing the organization focus on the show and had to check in to see what was going on.
Kate IS Organized
For anyone that has even watched the show even once, you quickly realize that Kate Gosselin is an amazing organizer in her own right. Managing a large home, 8 kids, volunteer caretakers, a busy life and T.V. production crews in your face demands organization! In fact, she shares a lot of her organizing tips right on TLC's site. Kate shares, "Maintaining a high level of organization helps any person or household-- supersized or otherwise -- run efficiently." So true, so true!
So Why Hire a Professional Organizer?
The episode, called "Jon & Kate Plus 8: Time to Organize!" focuses on the time factor in organizing. Even the most organized people just need help sometimes! "Kate has always had a love for organization, but with such a full schedule and a house full of kids, she's had less and less time to organize. With the guidance of an expert, Kate and the children attempt to give the basement some much needed order."
Our Colleague, Diane Albright, Stepped Up for the Job!
Diane Albright, from Allentown, PA (about an hour from the Gosselin's home) is the lucky pro who got to experience the "lights, camera, action" world of Kate's busy world. Diane is a professional organizer, motivational speaker and retail store owner of All Bright Ideas (organizing website, blog, store website).
