About

Nice to meet you! I'm Rebecca Lang.

All of us are hit with unexpected events during our lifetime. I recently joined the sandwich generation, caring for my family while also caring for my mother. Downsizing and transitioning a parent into assisted living is mentally, emotionally, and physically overwhelming. Where do I start? In an instant, I had to decide what to keep, sell, donate, and move while also helping my mother cope with the changes. Fortunately, my home was already organized. This allowed me to care for my family while managing what felt like a thousand things at once, including coping with my own emotions.

I created Essential Home Organization LLC because my story is not unique. Many people are being pulled in too many directions with work, family, and aging parents.  Many solutions such as self-help books, blogs, and articles are ridiculously long, incomplete, or force one method of organization on their reader. As a designer and caregiver, I wrote Stepping Stones to Harmony to offer comprehensive, efficient, and most importantly, flexible home organization strategies. Because life is very demanding, I like the “get to the point” approach. The goal is to create order. If everything is tossed into a bin, labeled, and placed on a shelf, you still know where to find it and it functions. We all have different needs. How much order is enough? Enough is what makes life easier for you.

Time passes so quickly. I sincerely hope Stepping Stones to Harmony helps you manage your household more efficiently. The biggest goal is create more quality time to share with the people you cherish the most. 

Best wishes!
