College drive

The lazy, hazy days of summer are wonderfully slow, but if you’re heading to college in the fall, the time to move-in to your campus housing will be here before you know it. If you thought the blood, sweat and tears you expended preparing the application last fall was the hard part -- think again! Making the physical move to college can be as stressful as writing the perfect essay or even picking the right college, especially if you ignore your mom or dad’s entreaties to get packing, and wait until the last possible minute to get yourself organized.  Read more >

About Me: 

Alicia Rockmore (Queen Bee) and Sarah Welch (Chief Dreamer), founders of Buttoned Up Inc. created an organizational lifestyle company that helps busy moms get more done by helping them successfully organize less.  Alicia & Sarah write weekly columns for the website, Scripps-Howard, and MommyTrackd.com. As working moms, they understand the difficulty of balancing motherhood with family and they offer their tips and tricks chock-full of practical organizational content centered around three concepts: 1: Ditch Perfection 2: Delegation 3: The 80/20 of Prioritization.

 

In addition, Alicia & Sarah are the co-authors of the recently published book, Everything (Almost) In Its Place (St. Martin’s Press).

 

The website features a vibrant community (http://mybuttonedup.ning.com/) for those trying to maintain some sense that it’s all “going in the right direction” in spite of cram-packed schedules and to-do lists that are a mile long. Users can create profiles, join groups of interest (i.e. New Baby, Taking Care of Aging Parent), and connect with others who are like them.

 

Another great area on the website is “Find your guru” (http://www.getbuttonedup.com/find-your-guru/ ) where readers can take a quiz or simply choose a guru from our staff to ask questions to about organization in every area of their life.

 

Alicia and Sarah have also branded Buttoned Up, Inc into over 55 organizational products to help overwhelmed moms retain some sanity
