Downsizing the Family Home


Community Education Adult Classes / Home & Garden -
Community Education - Fall Winter 2025-2026

Wishing your parents would get on board with eliminating the clutter or getting ready to embark on your own downsizing journey? Having a plan can make all the difference. Prepare for hard conversations, create an action plan that includes where to start, deciding what to keep and what to do with everything else. Assist yourself & your parents in taking care of their stuff now so that it doesn't burden your family later.

Valerie Cady

Valerie Cady, owner of Winnow and Spruce Organizing, steps forward in partnership with others to clear space, restore order, and reveal delight. Her passion for organizing began in childhood, when she saw the joy on her mother’s face after she transformed a cluttered space. That spark grew into a career of helping people find peace and freedom through organization.

Her personal journey—including downsizing from a 2,800-square-foot family home to a 200-square-foot studio and moving five times in under two years—gives her firsthand understanding of the challenges (and opportunities) that come with decluttering and starting fresh.

As a professional organizer, she creates a safe, judgment-free environment where every story is honored and every mess holds possibility. With simple, budget-friendly solutions, she helps clients keep what matters most, let go of the rest, and experience the life-changing impact of an organized home.
