Today we meet Katy Killilea. She loves running, cooking, sudden trips to new places, loud corduroy pants, and being taken to the Beehive in Bristol.
I would like to welcome new contributing writer, Carolyn Dalgliesh, a professional organizer and “sensory†mom. She is the founder & owner of Systems for Sensory Kids, a leading-edge organizing model that teaches parents how to tap into systems, routines, and visual aids to organize and empower their rigid, anxious, and/or distracted children. Carolyn also does professional home and small business organizing through Simple Organizing Strategies. A native Rhode Islander, she lives in North Kingstown with her husband and two children. Although I long for a break from the school-year bustle, “sensoy†kids and others often benefit (and even thrive) on a bit of structure. I welcome Carolyn’s advice on how to “organize†our summer. - Anisa

Many of the children in our care have experienced varying degrees of abuse, neglect, and abandonment.
