My Story

I know firsthand what it is like to be a parent who juggles all of the responsibilities that come with having a very active household. I learned over the years that having an organized home helps us properly manage our lives and be more productive. The ability to find things as we were quickly running out the door to get to a baseball game on time was an emotional lifesaver…looking through my pantry and overstock area before heading to the grocery store allowed me to know what I truly needed to buy and not overspend. Life is busy and spaces become messy; I get it! When spaces within our home or businesses are organized it allows for greater efficiency, cost savings, sparks collaboration, and improves interaction.

 My natural inclination to organize is something that has always been with me. I grew up in a large-sized Filipino family with six busy kids and modest means. I was the child that was busily cleaning and scrubbing my mother’s kitchen. I loved to organize items in her cabinets and drawers and even at a young age, I would rearrange the furniture and restyle the living spaces whenever I felt it was untidy and needed a refresh. By doing this, I knew I was alleviating my mother’s load and giving her the gift of time that she rarely had. 

As a family who formerly supported the military, we lived in many exciting places, experienced different cultures, and called various sized living spaces “home”. There were seasons in our lives where we did not have similar square footage as the space before. In response, sorting our family items and parting with things that were no longer necessary or brought joy was, and is, a freeing feeling. It was fun overcoming the challenges of being in a new space and creating organization and function; while simultaneously creating a stress-free and peaceful space for my busy family and me. 

I have helped friends and family members organize messy and overwhelming spaces. Afterward, I have witnessed positive changes with those I have helped. They appeared happy, calm, and clear-minded, empowered to manage their organized space with greater efficiency. Label & Basket’s mission is to help you tackle your cluttered spaces turning them into manageable, functional, organized areas so you can have time to live your life.
