Who We Are

Spreading the joy of home organization to families in Tyler, Texas and beyond

Our Story

Hi, we are Robin and Maria!  We are two friends who met at church and bonded over a mutual eagerness to clean out our Children’s Ministry area.  Our love for organizing and creating simple and efficient systems expanded to a shared goal of helping others.  

 

In 2023, we decided to spread the joy of home organization to other families here in Tyler, Texas, and we launched Home Matters Planning & Organization.  

 

We work with clients in a variety of ways to bring more peace to their homes: decluttering, organizing, and creating systems to increase efficiency are just a few examples of how we can help.  

 

Let us come alongside you to achieve greater organization and peace in your home because your Home Matters!

Robin Kernodle,

Owner

My mom likes to say she gave me my start as an organized person by enrolling me in a Montessori school as a preschooler. Later, I remember her showing off my tidy grade-school closet to a friend, who remarked, “Just wait til she’s a teenager—it will all change then.” Never one to turn down a dare, I proceeded to arrange my clothes not only by type but also by color. 🤣 Now married with six kids (some of whom are currently homeschooled), I don’t think I will ever run out of closets to tame.  My passion is helping others discover rhythms and routines that enhance their personal lives by simplifying and streamlining their schedules and spaces.

Maria Ripley,

Owner

I grew up overseas. I moved when I was very young and have moved many times since. Organization has been a lifesaver through different life stages of transition—packing up, settling in, and accumulating/reevaluating possessions. Over the last 15 years, I’ve had many opportunities to use my skills in management, teaching, personal assistance, and most importantly as a homemaker. As a wife and mom of four littles, the gift of organization has given a sense of peace to my own home and has been an outlet to bless others. I absolutely love getting to work alongside others to create order from chaos! My family and I currently live and serve at a Missionary School in Kijabe, Kenya. I continue to help behind the scenes so that Robin can continue to serve our East Texas community.  We have a wonderful team of ladies who can come alongside her to help you declutter, organize, and beautify your homes.
