Chapters Quality Used Books in Orem

I am a book nerd.  I love everything about books and the first place I check out in a new area is the bookstores.  Not the Borders and Barnes and Nobles (although I like them too) but the USED bookstores because that is where you find the treasures!

Upon moving to Provo, I was tickled to find Pioneer Books right on Center Street with their floor to ceiling stacks of books in every imaginable category.  I spent several hours on several afternoons going through shelf after shelf at Pioneer Books.  I was a bit dismayed to find that they had left their location on Center Street when I went to stop in a few weeks ago.  My dismay turned to cheers when I discovered that they had changed to Chapters Quality Used Books and had moved to Orem and a new location on State Street.

So for all of you bibliophiles that believe treasures are found in huge stacks of used books - Check them out!  Their selection of Utah, History and Religion is particularly awesome!

The Beehive Blog Features Laura Lawrence at Harmony Within - Professional Organizer!

The Beehive Blog was tickled pink to speak to Laura Lawrence at Harmony Within and The Organized Woman Show.  Laura is an awesome Tweep as well so please make sure that you drop into the blog and say HI and follow her on Twitter!

Laura is an angel.  Her mission in life?  To Get People Organized!  Laura is a Professional Organizer (trained and certified!) that works out of Orem, Utah.  I was fascinated since I am the stack it, store it, hoard it and when all else fails, cover it type.  How does one become a Professional Organizer?  I figure that it is a calling and Laura has six children!  Being organized with six kiddos is survival in its purest form.
One of my favorite shows is "Clean House" so of course, I asked Laura about the show.  She said that while what she does is similar, it does not happen over night.  We can only imagine!
Laura approaches her business with a savvy combo of psychology, determination and a calm demeanor.  She was a treat to speak with and she made everything sound very reasonable which I am sure is important as she de-clutters lives.
Harmony Within began 3 1/2 years ago as a fun way to create a business.  Her clients are 90% residential and through some creative marketing and local donations, the business has taken off.
Laura speaks in acronyms.  I asked her what is the first step when she arrives at a client's home:
