About Us
Our process, our team, and our client written testimonials.
Battle Tested
Our Organization Process
Our passion and knowledge have turned countless homes and offices into beautiful, functional spaces!
When we first meet with a new client, we use our communication and planning skills, along with unique client-needs assessment, to develop a Critical Care Plan to conquer clutter. We pride ourselves on our ability to use the items clients already possess to create functional, attractive organizational systems, saving them both time and money.
Any unwanted items removed from a clients' homes are properly disposed of or safely recycled. All donations are taken to local charities where they can be claimed by someone in need. Remember, one person's clutter is another person's treasure!
Beyond The Clutter
In addition to working with individuals, We use our talents to help community groups get organized. Annie's most recent project with Mothers’ Home in Darby, PA, successfully transformed a storage room overwrought with donations of clothing, toys, and home goods into a well-organized shopping area. Now, the young women who visit can quickly and easily find the items they need. Annie felt so passionately about her work with this organization that she is now the Volunteer Sharing Space Coordinator for Mothers' Home.
With several qualifications under our belts, the Life Simplified team bring years of experience to help you bring order and peace to your life.
Our Accolades
Meet the Team

Annie’s passion for getting organized is apparent from the first time you meet her. Helping others get or stay organized is the fuel that keeps her going. It all began after Annie used her organizing skills as a coping mechanism in nursing school, when faced with the overwhelming paperwork required. Then 8 years ago she helped a friend organize a difficult space, her friend insisted Annie should pursue professional organizing and Life Simplified was born shortly thereafter.
Annie is married and has 2 amazing children. Her husband even helps with some of her larger jobs, especially ones that require heavy lifting.

"Life Simplified saved me!! Annie and team were efficient, thorough, timely, friendly, and (maybe most important to me) they were self-starters!! When and where I didn't have the bandwidth, they jumped right in, offered suggestions and organizational solutions, and made appropriate decisions. I will no doubt be calling them again for more!"
- Jenny D.
"I am doing well with processes that are now in place because of you, and where you have things, how things are labeled, etc. Thank you so much for all you’ve helped me with! In a small home, with little room for storage, much less the bulky everyday belongings of two teenagers, you’ve managed to bring calm to chaos in our home and lives!!!"
- Colleen H.
"Annie Kilbride is phenomenal! She helps to ease the stress!"
- Taryn M.
"You are just so great at what you do! It’s amazing to me how you can look at a space and suggest an alternate space. Moving those kitchen towels and gadgets and freeing up those two drawers it’s just gonna be a game changer for us."
- Colleen D.
"Annie is a gifted organizer who gives back to her community! Recently, Annie committed to volunteer her services for the Sharing Space at Mothers' Home shelter. The area was in disarray, and therefore completely underutilized by clients in need. Annie transformed the space, enlisted volunteers to help, coordinated regular volunteers to maintain the space, solicited necessary donations for storage and items... And now the Sharing Space is fully functional and accessible again. Additionally, I have first-hand experience of Annie's volunteer role at the mutual school of our children. She is organized, enthusiastic, creative and resourceful in both roles. I would absolutely recommend her services for any home or business in need of organizational overhaul. Annie is the real deal."
- Angela, Women's Resource Center
"Annie’s help was beyond a blessing! If it were just me organizing with my parents, the neighbors would probably have called 911 due to the excessive yelling. But with Annie’s presence, there was calmness, listening, learning, and improvement."
- Melissa A.
"You're the best Annie! You help people take control of their lives and their homes. When you have ADD, like me, your mind is already disorganized. I've learned that in order to cope I MUST have an organized environment. Thank you for helping me to achieve this. You help me to have peace of mind."
- Judie B.
"As a Realtor, we love and use Life Simplified. Annie and her team are amazing, not only do they help our sellers, Annie has personally made a big difference in my life! She is kind, understanding, patient and simply the best organizer around!"
