Organization....
As of late, I've been a little obsessed with organizing EVERYTHING in my house. It's not only good for my brain but my family. Everything flows a lot smoother in our household when everything has a organized space. I'm finding this is not so easy w/two curious kids and one husband who has zero time to help out around the house this semester. With all of the world's many distractions, I find myself wasting time, space, energy. I was wondering if my lovely blogging friends could give me their best organizational tips? I would SOOO appreciate it! For example, what are some good ways to organize your food pantry, your children's closet (toys, clothes, etc), and etc. using limited space? Basically, what are the best ways you've found helpful in organizing your life?

my friend - do you not know that cleaning and organizing are my whole LIFE?!?!?!?!?!
We might need to have an "organize Kylene's house" day :)
Ooh, Organizing makes me happy so of course I have to make a comment!Lets face it if you have kids you have clutter! I HATE to see my clutter, so I have to say that I find baskets to be my best friend. Almost everything in my house that is visible is in some kind of basket or container. Maddy's toys, her hair things, diapers and wipes, the controllers to the gaming systems, bottles and sippy cups, our bills, pretty much everything! All her toys in her room are stored in Pink Canvas bins that fit under her crib, and I love them because they are out of the way and at the end of the day everything just gets thrown into the bins and tucked away under her crib and they look cute. Ross has really cute baskets for cheap, and occasionally you can find cute plastic containers for things that would be more like in closets, pantrys and such at the dollar store. (I like to put my baby shower presents in them too, seems more useful than a bag) I also store some of her toys away in the HUGE zipploc bags so that she doesn't have as many toys to make a mess and then I rotate them out every 3-4 weeks. It's like Christmas for her! (and it gives me a chance to spray them down with Lysol too. I have yet to feel like my pantry is all that organized and our food storage is a joke, so if you figure out a good way to organize those let me know! The Container Store has awesome things and while they are a little out of my price range it gives me great ideas that I try and keep an eye out for while I'm bargain shopping!
Hope some of that helps!
Happy Organizing!
hmmm that can be tricky-Good luck!
I try to keep in mind which things will be used the most and keep those front and center, things used less frequently up higher (or lower)...
plus when I am up against a challenge I google it! Happy organizing!
Have you ever read the book "The FLY Lady"? It helped me tons...just a bunch of great ideas about organization.
Great suggestions everyone! Keep 'em coming! *I switched my layout cuz I don't know how to change the font color on my own. :)
I need tips? Where do I start?
I'm a FANATIC about organization. I use lots of totes and baskets.
