Organizing With Love In Minnesota & Wisconsin!
Twin Cities & South Metro Area
I started Meat & Potatoes Organizing because I wanted to help people get down to the basics in life – the Meat & Potatoes – if you will. Personally, I found so much freedom in downsizing, decluttering, and creating organization systems in my own life and I love sharing this experience with others.
Call me crazy, but my favorite organization projects are garages & basements. (I also love organizing all other parts of the home). I grew up competing in Olympic weightlifting and I absolutely LOVE lifting heavy objects and physical work. Anytime I can move and sweat – I am happy!
In my non-organizing time, I love to hang out with my two boys, Thor & Magnus. My husband Damon does security consulting (from home mostly now, thanks to Covid) and we enjoy skiing and snowboarding together in the winter. My happy and licky dog, Jellybean, is my only little girl and by little, I mean BIG, sweet, doberman!
I hope you learned a little bit about me and now I cannot wait to connect and hear about YOU and your family!
Cannon Falls, Rochester & Surrounding Area
I joined the Meat & Potatoes Organizing team because I had the opportunity to work with my daughter (Cori) on a love we share; downsizing, decluttering, and creating organization in our homes.
I’m coming from a 20 year career of being a massage therapist into a new adventure of organizing. I personally enjoy working on offices, home offices, and finding your perfect “paper solution”.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the paper in your home, we can work together to figure out what to shred, what to save, and how to stop paper from taking over your life.
I enjoy spending time with my husband Scott, of 38 years. We have a son/daughter-in-law and a daughter/son-in-law, that have blessed us with 5 energetic grandsons.
I look forward to working with you on your project!
Minneapolis, MN
I started at Meat and Potatoes Organizing in 2021 assisting my sister on projects and I quickly realized I had a passion for everything about organizing!
My absolute favorite part of organizing is ensuring that every item has a home that is functional and appealing. At M&P I am in charge of custom Cricut labeling and I also run our social media accounts! In my free time I love all things craft which makes creative spaces my favorite area of the home to work on!
Before starting at M&P I worked as a nanny and also did some seasonal work as a craft instructor at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, CO. From those experiences, I have learned to communicate well with families while listening to their desires when it comes to organizing and how they want their home to flow!
In the past couple months I have *slowly* been working through organizing my moms house. My mom lives in the same house that she grew up in AND the same house that she raised my siblings and I in. As you can imagine there is a lot of history in those walls and so many things that have been there since the day my grandparents moved in! With the skills and strategies that I have learned from working for M&P I have been able to approach the seemingly impossible task of going through my childhood home. I enjoy telling clients my story and about the process, most are shocked that I haven’t gotten through everything yet but I always point out that it is a lot more difficult to sort when it is your own stuff! It is much easier to get distracted or unmotivated when dealing with your own items, that is why the M&P team is here to help you stay on task and get the tedious jobs done for you!
Lead Assistant Organizer
I’m excited that you’ve found me, and are ready to ask for help in your organizing journey. Whether you’re looking for yourself, or helping someone else, I pride myself on finding the best solutions for every unique situation. I come from rural MN, and grew up on a hard working farm. I knew everyone’s name and probably their parents’ names as well. My upbringing has made me a very friendly, and relatable person.
From a young age, I always loved decorating my room and changing the furniture. This drew my interests to interior design throughout my school years. Organizing became my passion once we bought a home and had kids. It combines in my love for interior design and as an added bonus, helps cure my crazy anxiety.
I spent 20 Years in clothing retail, working my way from the bottom to the top. I learned from the very beginning that organization is key to a successful business. I believe that is true for success in each part of our everyday lives. Too much clutter will cause debilitating anxiety and stress. My organizing expertise lies in organizing clothing and accessories. Coming from very big families I also have found a love for downsizing. Specifically, helping boomers find peace in reducing their clutter.
My family and I are fulfilling a dream my husband and I have shared since we met. We love our Minnesota and Wisconsin lakes. Fishing and boating are our favorite things to do on a nice day. In 2022, we bought a Cabin in Northern Minnesota. Nothing makes me happier than waking up and seeing all the cousins out fishing and relaxing on the dock, grandparents drinking coffee in the sunroom, and of course listening to the loons. These memories to me are what life is all about.
My desire is for clients to be able to have more time with the ones they love; making memories and leaving behind great impressions. I feel organizing is such an impactful way for me to help others.
In addition to helping clients in the south metro and Twin Cities area, I am proud to be serving the Brainerd Lakes area! Well known as Minnesota’s Vacationland. I want to help you get down to the basics so you have more time with loved ones. If you have a cabin or lake home in the Brainerd or surrounding area, I would be more than happy to schedule a complimentary consultation and help your vacation home turn into your dream come true!
Minneapolis MN
Having grown up in a very small farm town, you either earned money picking rock in someone’s field, or worked for your grandma doing small tasks. Well, my grandma sure knew how to keep a kid busy! I started cleaning for my grandma at a very young age. I’m not talking just a dust and sweep kind of job. More like dust and shine every crystal on the giant chandelier kind of job. This kind of work made me pay attention to the finer details with every job I’ve had growing up.
I’m currently coaching at a CrossFit gym in Lakeville, which is where I met Cori!
In between coaching I had found myself organizing and cleaning all the equipment in what some would call “an obsessive manner”. Cori recognized the effort I was putting into my surroundings and asked if I’d be interested in Meat & Potatoes Organizing, to which I said, “Sure! Why not?!”
A year later and I’m still so grateful to have found this business and these people. The reward is endless. The relief our clients get brings me all the joy, and the satisfaction of that end result is priceless!
SW Metro, MN & Surrounding Areas
My favorite things to do growing up when I would get bored were to organize my room and my parent’s “junk drawer.” When I would come home during breaks at college, I would always clean and organize the refrigerator at my parent’s house, where there was sure to be something expired left in there from the last time I cleaned it out. So I guess you could say I’ve always had a passion for organizing! I didn’t know I could turn this passion into a career until February 2023. I was previously a preschool teacher, but after having my first baby in 2022, I decided it was time for a different career path. I wanted to do something I really loved, gave me more time to spend with my son, and made leaving him to go to work easier! I found this in Meat & Potatoes Organizing! I love being able to help clients reclaim their space and make their lives more functional and easier! My favorite rooms to organize are kitchens and bathrooms.
When I’m not organizing, which isn’t often (the spaces in my own house get reorganized often!) I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, and our two dogs. We love doing all things outdoors! Our favorites being hiking, running, and going on UTV adventures in our side by side. I love curling up in a comfy chair with a good book and a cup of coffee in the mornings, doing home revo DIY projects, exploring new places, trying out new restaurants, and listening to live music.
La Crosse, WI & Surrounding Areas
My organizational habits started at a very young age. My parents recall me always cleaning up after my messes and the messes of others all while singing the Barney “Clean Up” Song. For as long as I can remember, my clothes have always been sorted by color, and I have always been the friend who makes itineraries and google spreadsheets for trips and vacations. Since I was a child, one of my favorite activities has been cleaning, reorganizing and rearranging my room and my friends’ rooms when I would go to their houses. And yes, I have watched the Home Edit and Tidying Up with Marie Kondo repeatedly since they were released on Netflix.
When I was in college, being a professional organizer wasn’t really a thing. I graduated from Hamline University where I studied Public Health, Psychology, and Non-Profit Management. After graduation I moved back to Rochester and pursued a career in health care.
Five years later, my husband’s career took us to La Crosse, WI.
I was recently cleaning out and organizing a storage unit with my brother-in-law when I thought to myself, “I would love to get paid to do this kind of thing!” Of course my brother-in-law looked at me like I was crazy, but right when I got home I searched “home organizing companies in my area”. It was then that I reached out to Cori at Meat & Potatoes.
Cori has given me the resources and training that will allow me to make that dream a reality and help so many clients. I am so excited for this career where I get to help others in a way that I am extremely passionate about. My professional goal as an organizer is to help others feel the satisfaction and empowerment of getting organized and allowing them to live a sustainable, livable and joyful life.
Twin Cities & South Metro Area
I happened upon working at Meat and Potatoes because of my connection with Liv, one of our lead organizers, and realized after talking with her about her job that this was something that I am also really passionate about. After just a couple jobs it became apparent that organizing for other people was something that I really enjoyed and looked forward to. My favorite part of organizing a space is making it functional and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. This might be due to my love for design and a touch of ADHD! I love when everything in my home has a dedicated space so that I can have a clear head going into each day.
I am just about done with my degree in retail merchandising at the University of Minnesota. My whole life I did Gymnastics which has contributed a lot to my organizing tendencies and love for a plan and healthy living. For now I enjoy using what I learn in school about marketing, social media, design, consumer behavior, and merchandising in my day to day life as a waitress, organizer, and student. Outside of work and school I love hanging out with friends and family as well as anything outdoors and in nature! I love traveling and learning about different cultures, especially trying new foods!
I am excited to continue to help organize many more spaces and bring functionality, simplicity, and happiness to our clients!
