Marie Ricks | Helping Prepare New Missionaries for the New Year

Marie Ricks has been sharing her personal and home organization skills for more than 20 years. Her seminars and classes have proven both popular and beneficial because of her shrewd insights into time management, food preparation, closet and cupboard organization, budgeting, teaching children to work, and shopping skills. She frequently teaches home organization principles at L.D.S. Church Enrichment Nights and at other community gatherings. She also does in-home consultations (i.e., she has seen a lot of dirty laundry, cluttered closets, and stacks of untidy paperwork, all of which is very exciting to her). More recently, Marie has authored and published several books, including Organized for a Mission, a Guide for Parents and Missionaries. Within its pages, Marie addresses what items to buy and take, smart clothes shopping, essential kits to prepare, financial needs to consider, proper packing techniques, and organization musts for a successful return. Marie has been happily married to Jim Ricks for 35 years, and together they are the parents of five sons.
