Ready to right-size your space and breathe easier?
The kids are out of the house—and now it's your turn.
After years of juggling schedules, stuff, and endless responsibilities, your home is quieter…but it might still feel full. If you’re ready to downsize and reclaim your space, you’re not alone.
​
Maybe you’re planning a move—or simply looking around and thinking, Where did all this stuff come from? The idea of sorting through it all can be overwhelming. Decision fatigue is real, and you’re tired of putting it off.
​
But picture this:
You walk into your home and it feels like you. No clutter, no chaos—just calm. Every room has a purpose. You’ve held onto what matters and let go of the rest. You can breathe. You feel lighter. More in control. And honestly? It feels really good.
​
I’m here to help you make that happen—step by step. I help women just like you—smart, capable, Gen Xers who are ready to simplify, downsize, and start fresh. Whether it’s decluttering, organizing, or creating systems that make life easier (and keep it that way), I’ve got you—like Thelma’s got Louise.
​
You don’t have to do this alone—and it doesn’t have to be so hard. Let’s clear the clutter and make space for what’s next.

Hi, I’m Carrie, your friendly neighborhood Gen X professional home organizer here to help you clear your crap and take back your space.
​
We grew up without Pinterest-perfect homes, so I focus on practical, no-nonsense organizing that actually works for your life—with a side of humor and zero judgment.
​
Much like a caterpillar, our home acts as a cocoon and surrounds us in a comforting way with space for our essential items. Tidy Butterfly helps you declutter, create space and give you peace of mind.
Get the help you need, where you need it most...
I work with your needs, vision, timeline, and budget to help create systems that work for you so that you can utilize the spaces you love better. Here are some examples of spaces you might need organized:
Kitchen & Pantry
Closets & Bedrooms

It’s easier than you think—and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll walk you through it step by step. Here’s how we get started:
​
Step 1: Sort the Stuff
​
We start by getting honest about what’s in your space—and what’s no longer serving you. We’ll sort through it together with zero judgment and a whole lot of support. Keep it, donate it, recycle it, or toss it—I’ll help you make those decisions without overwhelm. Decluttering can stir up emotions, and sometimes you just need a steady friend by your side. That’s me.
​
Step 2: Simplify the Space
​
Once we’ve cleared the crap (you know—the clutter that’s been weighing you down), it’s time to set up your space to actually work for your life today. Not the life you had 10 years ago. Not the one social media thinks you should have. Just simple, functional, peaceful space that lets you exhale. This is where things start to feel really awesome.
​
Step 3: Style with Structure
​
Now for the fun part—we organize with intention and style. Containers that make sense, labels you’ll actually use, and layouts that flow. My mission is to help you set up systems that bring order, ease, and a little more breathing room to your everyday life. Because when your space works, everything else feels a little lighter.
​
I cannot begin to express what having Carrie help me organize my space has done for me. I had been “stuck” in a disorganized mess and was not in a good place. She is extremely professional and amazing at what she does. I highly recommend her!
