Candace Third

Candace

Events Team

Candace Third was born and raised in Georgia but always dreamed she would one day live in Florida. She and her Florida Native husband met online (before it was the ‘in’ thing) and have been married for almost 16 years. They have 3 kids, their oldest and only son is beginning his college soccer career away from home in North Carolina.  Their oldest daughter is very active in church and is enrolled in virtual school and their youngest is not only a great scholar but keeps mom very busy with volleyball.   Being a stay at home mom allows her the independence and flexibility to keep up with her family’s packed schedule. 

When she isn’t at different convention centers for volleyball tournaments or at the gym for practices, Candace and her girls are at Universal Studios.  One of the perks of living in Orlando is the convenience of being so close to the theme parks. Being a passholder allows them the freedom to go to the park very frequently and now that her kids are older she can enjoy one of her favorite things, the thrills of roller coasters! 

Her biggest passions, aside from her family, are working on creative projects with her Cricut and interior decorating & organizing.

Lastree

Events Team | Contributing Writer

 

Lastree Lemene-Haig is a professional organizer and owner of Ready Set Declutter. She’s a mental health advocate and the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about helping people declutter and organize their homes. She specializes in supporting women with ADHD, anxiety, and just everyday overwhelm. She believes that when your space feels good, life feels lighter.

Lastree moved from Haiti to Florida during her sophomore year of high school. After graduating from the University of Florida, she spent over a decade working in the nonprofit world before pivoting to professional organizing. When she’s not helping clients find peace in their homes, she’s usually jamming to music, binge watching shows, or enjoying time with her husband, their fur baby, Lulu, and their family and friends.

In 2022, after relocating to Orlando, Lastree reached out to Eryn to promote her business. Though they hadn’t met in person, Eryn instantly recognized her when she attended a Prosper & Flourish meeting two years later. That moment of genuine recognition reflected the heart of the Eryn and the Orlando Mom community, one rooted in connection, not just transactions. Even as a non-mom, Lastree has felt fully welcomed and embraced, and she’s honored to now be part of the team.

Through Ready Set Declutter, she offers organizing support, and digital decluttering guides to help bring the spark back to her clients’ homes and their lives. Her work is rooted in the belief that a calm home can be the foundation for so much more, and she’s proud to share that message with the Orlando Mom community.
