"For about 6 years, I piled things up in our basement thinking I would organize it 'one day.' Every time I attempted to begin my organization project, I stood in the middle of everything wondering how to even begin. I was frustrated and unmotivated. I tried several times on my own before I finally wised up and called Lara. Everyone in the neighborhood who had used her services was extremely pleased with the results. After meeting with her to discuss the project, she helped me reclaim our basement in less than a month. Equally as important, she taught me organization skills that I can apply to other areas of the house. I would recommend her to anyone. She is smart, fun, motivating and truly good at what she does!”

"I would highly recommend Lara Ballentine of "Leave it to Lara". She is bright and hard working, with great organizational solutions that really exceeded our expectations. She sets priorities and creates project plans, and works personally to create organizational systems that really make your life easier (if you're not already super organized, that is). She is very professional and stays on task. She includes shopping services into the organizing, so you don't have to go out and find your own shelving, baskets, etc., and she labels everything, too. I can't really say enough about how helpful her services are. She helped us organize our home office, storage spaces, tools, and laundry/mud room. The change has been phenomenal. She is also a great person to call if you are thinking of moving soon and/or selling your home in the coming months. She can reduce clutter - and stress! - making for a smoother transition (and of course making your home more appealing to buyers if you are selling).

"I really appreciated all your help with organizing the house after we moved to Atlanta. Your personal shopping and help with installation made it possible for us to get things done a lot more easily. With both of us working and a preschooler, sometimes we just need an extra pair of hands and your service is just what the doctor ordered!"

"Lara is fantastic! She has been the answer to how I can get it all done! I have three young children and two small businesses that I manage in our household. It can certainly be overwhelming at times. Lara always makes it easier. She runs errands for me, helps me catch up on laundry, does the invoicing and filing for the businesses and has recently handled a newsletter mailing to 400 contacts. It’s great that she can fill in on both household and work related activities fully maximizing her time at the house. I fully trust her to get the job done right the first time and rarely have to give her much direction. Some days I feel like I have so much for which I am responsible. It is wonderful knowing Lara is there to back me up."
