More about our guest speaker:

Carmen Blair has always enjoyed the idea of being organized, but it wasn't until she became a single parent with four children that she converted her ideas into actions.  Now she is a Professional Organizer, owner of the company Dynamic Family Solutions, and will shortly be graduating with her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.  Carmen believes that truly being organized must be unique and individual, and strives to understand each client's needs in order to customize solutions that will save them time and money.  She credits being organized to staying sane as a mother, and to having free time to enjoy spending with her children.  She is a proud member of the Professional Organizers of Canada.
