A little bit about me

Writer's picture: Jackie HavelJackie Havel

Today, I posted an Instagram story with"fun facts" about myself . Naturally, I figured something similar should also be posted on my blog.


So, first, we will start with introductions...

Hi, my name is Jackie. Thanks for checking out my blog. It's nice to meet you :)

10 Fast Facts:

1. I grew up in Minnesota (yah, you betcha!).

2. I graduated with (two) bachelor of science degrees from the University of North Dakota. The degrees were both in the field of nutrition & dietetics. Because I love psychology, I decided to minor in that while I was at it.

3. I have been a practicing registered dietitian nutritionist (no, not dietician, not dietary, not diet lady... dietitian) for ten years, mainly in the clinical setting. TEN years... Wow, that's weird to realize.

4. Wisconsin has been my home for ten years, the Green Bay area specifically for the last seven.

5. I love cooking, cleaning, and organizing (go figure!).

6. I've been married to my love for nine years. Together, we have two children, Marek & Marlee.

7. Mental health awareness and understanding are super important to me.

8. We have a puppy named Edythe. She's an Aussiedoole from Three Branch Ranch (highly recommend).

9. I'm into audiobooks and podcasts; sitting down and reading is challenging for me.

10. I started GBO in 2022.


The million-dollar question: Why did I start GBO?


I never really realized how much I liked order until I became a mom. Over time, the stuff in our home started to increase...and increase some more, until I eventually realized that some of that said stuff needed to GO. I felt incredibly overwhelmed with how much stuff I was trying to (literally) stuff into my house. Does anyone else resonate with this?


I started to read about decluttering and organizing techniques (there are SO many options out there) and quickly became obsessed with the decluttering process. I not only loved how my home looked but also loved how it made me feel. I felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, and it felt soooooo good.


I started posting my favorite organized areas in my home on social media for fun [cue former Instagram handle: jackieheartsorganization... adorable, I know ;)] and realized that I was not alone in liking an orderly home. No, there were SO many people who felt the same way as me.


I thought to myself if I can feel good about the changes I've made in my own home; changes that have helped me feel less stressed, shouldn't I also help others feel this same way? Yes, yes, I should.


BOOM. This life-changing realization happened, and thus, Green Bay Organizers was born.


If you've made it this far, you're amazing - thanks for sticking with me. Now it's your turn/ What's your name? Tell me a little about yourself!

I grew up camping with my family at a small state park in northern Minnesota. I have a lot of fond memories of that time in my childhood....
