Let’s Get Personal
Lona
I’m Lona, the owner and current author of Making Lemonade. As a former child therapist turned stay-at-home mom, I’ve seen firsthand how creating calm, organized environments can reduce stress and bring more joy into our lives. Like many of you, I know what it’s like to feel buried under a never-ending to-do list, juggling the demands of home and family life. My goal is to help you transform your space so it feels like a true sanctuary—a place where you can recharge and focus on what matters most.
With easy-to-implement tips, DIY projects, and practical organization strategies, I’m here to guide you in creating a home that works for you, not against you. It’s not about perfection, but about creating systems that bring peace and functionality to your everyday life.
I believe our homes should be places of rest, not sources of stress. Whether you’re struggling with clutter or just looking for fresh ideas, Making Lemonade is here to help you simplify, organize, and create more room for the things and people you love.
Let’s take this journey together!
Carrie
Want to go from overwhelmed to in control? You’re in the right place.
I’m Carrie Higgins, a former teacher and school media specialist (the fancy name for librarian) with a passion for helping busy women streamline their home to create more time, space and peace so they can focus on what truly matters.
My goal is to help you transform your home so it feels and functions the way you’ve always wanted, and put home tasks on autopilot so you have more time to do what you love. (And I’m guessing that’s not folding laundry, amiright?)
Why should you trust me, the former librarian lady? Because I’ve been there. I’ve been an overwhelmed hot mess who would not seem to catch up, with chronic illness thrown into the mix. I was not born naturally organized, so I had to teach myself those skills. I’ve figured out systems and routines for streamlining your home life after years of trial and error so you don’t have to.
In addition to being founder of Making Lemonade, I’m the author of Organization Hacks: Over 350 Simple Solutions to Organize Your Home In No Time! I’m also the mom of two pretty fantastic kiddos and live in the Raleigh area of North Carolina. My ‘Why’ for streamlining my home life is so I can spend more time with my passions: family, traveling, reading, getting outside in nature (preferably near water), decorating my home, and being with friends.
