About Our Founder

Hi! I am Monica Bales and I am the owner and founder of Ideal Living!
Originally from Oakland County, Michigan. I made the move to Texas in 2011.  In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, live music, exercising and spending time with my two daughters Illeanna and Isabella. ​I have experience working in administration.  Ranging from large to small corporations. Staying organized and being consistent were always my strongest assets.  In 2013, I decided to venture out of administration and became a Personal Assistant to a busy family and business owner.  I was able to free up “things to do” lists, so they could spend more family time and grow their business!  Once I noticed how gratifying it was to give my clients TIME back in their day. I wanted to help more! While I was assisting busy professionals in and around the North Dallas area, I fell in love with the process of organizing! 
I have had extraordinary mentorship through different networks and am a member of the Institute for Challenging Disorganization where I achieved a certificate in Chronic Disorganization and continue my education to stay up to date on the latest in the organizing world. I enjoy gaining the knowledge needed to be a Professional Organizer because it is interesting and challenging.
