Helping You Get Organized
Might as well use the days you’re stuck inside due to the cold weather to get yourself organized. Spring will be here before you know it so get a jump start on clearing out. Here are some tips to get you going.
-          Use old baby food jars to store spices. Spice bags rip and spill this way your cupboards stay clean
-          From all the new things you and your family get from Christmas you will have even more user manuals. Store these and others in a binder and leave it in the pantry or drawer. Also have another binder for take-out menus
-          Get a tray or basket for in the kitchen so kids can put in their papers from school and adults can put mail that needs your attention right away. It saves your kitchen table or counters
-          Use small jam jars to hold cotton swabs, balls and other essentials inside your bathroom vanity drawers
-          Store kids’ bath toys in a fine-laundry bag. Hang from the faucet ’til fully drained.
-          Large woven or wooden baskets stash clutter effectively, so stock up.
-          Don’t hold on to magazines. Just rip out any pages you want to keep for future reference, keep in a file folder, then recycle the rest.
-          Place a hamper in each person’s closet, or a laundry bag on the back of each bedroom door
-          Big, busy family? Paint one entire wall in your mudroom in chalkboard paint so everyone can easily leave messages for one another.
-          Keep one basket per person in your mudroom or front entrance, so everyone knows where to drop off/find their personal on-the-go essentials like keys, bags, homework etc.
-          Paint an oversized canvas in one bold colour and hang it from the wall. Pin a rotating collection of your kids’ artwork on it.
-          Keep sheet sets organized by folding and storing the fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcase inside the second pillowcase.
-          Plan a closet cleanout once per season. Less mess makes staying organized a lot easier
