A Home For Everything, Living Organized
Tired of feeling overwhelmed, just want to close the door on your “dirty little secret”? You are not alone. So many people just can’t get organized. It’s not because they are lazy or unable, it is simply not knowing how to be. Someone’s home and/or workspace can tell you so much about them. Organizing is a process, not a one day project. These are words to live by or so Amy Marta Carney believes, owner of Clutter Bugs, LLC of Wilmington.
More often than not, things don’t get put away because they don’t have a home. The key to getting organized is to find the best possible home for all your things. Making your space functional is not always the easiest job.
That is where she comes in. Amy has found a way to help her clients lose the overwhelming feelings and get to work. As a stay at home mother of two, Amy knew clutter and had to make organizing a way of life. Inspired by her first child Gabriella, Clutter Bugs LLC was born in 2005. Wanting to remain at home with her daughter but do something she loved creating her own business was the way to go. Sharing her techniques with her friends had given a client base to Amy and now her business has grown.
From moving to collecting and just plain old inheriting other people’s things there is just not always enough space. So that’s when cluttering become an issue. Once it starts to pile up we can’t always get a handle on it, and that’s when you need to remember some key rules:
- Have you used this item in the last 12 months?
- When you buy something new, get rid of something old
- Resist the urge to buy sale items unless you really need them
- Making piles are just organized messes
- Give your rooms and space a purpose
- When in doubt throw it out!
There are many resources for reusing and recycling items that you no longer need. Just because it has no home with you doesn’t mean it doesn’t have one somewhere else. From donating to charitable organizations and selling your items either in second hand shops or having your own sale can really lighten your load, and put a little extra in your pocket.
Remember as the holidays approach not to over do. Sales will undoubtedly get your attention but that’s all they should get, don’t buy just to buy!
Being organized will save you time, money, improve your health, relationships and make you happier. Being organized begins within you, if that is cluttered nothing will be in place.
Give the gift of organizing, it is a wonderful way

Testimonials:
“After going into my laundry room, opening the cabinet door and having everything fall out all over the floor I decided I needed Clutter Bugs. I Called Amy and she was over the next day. She took inventory of all my stuff, we sorted through and threw away the junk. Then she purchased shelves, laundry sorters and turned my laundry room into a clutter free organized space. She even got on her hands and knees and cleaned from top to bottom. I would definitely recommend her service to anyone who wants to get organized!” ~Joan H., Newark
“As an organized person by nature, I was REALLY struggling after the birth of my second child when I couldn’t keep my kitchen organized. Amy came into my house, and within minutes had all my solutions. She redid all the kitchen cabinets in a more space saving way, allowing more room for the extra bottles and gadgets that come with a newborn. She found inches, square footage, counter space I never knew existed. She transformed what I thought was an already organized kitchen! She has a skill that goes beyond being organized. It was the best small money we spent.” ~Susan H., Wilmington, DE
“IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID!” ~Nichole R., Wilmington, DE
