Through hundreds of hours of research and implementing systems along the way, she found so much peace and simplicity in her day-to-day routines that she wanted to teach others to do the same. In 2017 Tidy Revival was born. These days, Carly is a self-proclaimed “organizational nerd” that loves to geek out on the topic regularly on the Tidy Revival Blog. When she’s not working, she can be found relaxing at home, collecting houseplants, snuggling her dog Gimli and enjoying takeout with her husband Corey.
