Let's Get Organized!

Good afternoon! I hope your decluttering task is going well! I thought that since we are decluttering and trying to get more organized, I would share a couple of my tips on getting a little more organized in your daily life.

1- Toy Storage: If you have kids, if it is one or five, you have toy clutter. Legos, Polly Pockets, markers, crayons, and transformers; these are just some of the things you can organize. In my kids' rooms, I use flat, rectangle, plastic sweater storage bins. I label each bin for a specific item.

1-Legos
2-Cars
3-Transformers, etc.

I then have used the abyss under the bed for organized storage. Don't get me wrong, the younger the child, the harder it is to keep it absolutely organized. My 8 year old is really good at keeping each thing in its its bin when he cleans up. My 5 year old, not so much. More of a dump and run scenario.

You can also do the same for art supplies. Crayons, markers, paints, and Play Doh all have a seperate bin. For these items, I use the plastic shoe box containers and label each and then they are stored on shelves in my daughters closet. If you are lucky enough to have a craft room, then they can be stored there.

I challenge you to sort and organize just 3 items. Start with one room and and 3 bins. Anything that does not belong in one of these 3 bins, put into a 4th bin. Then once you have these 3 items organized, start with 3 more items until you have your Legos, Polly Pockets, Matchbox, and markers all in their own place. Good Luck! Talk to you soon.
