Organization Can Ease Some Pain

Organization makes me happy! :-)   I love organization!  Organization can be a big help for Moms.

With so much going on it can be hard to keep track of the things in our houses.  I know at the end of the day the last thing I want to do after work is clean or pick up. However it is important to keep some semblance of order with the chaos and clutter to help the days and nights go smoother. Nothing is more frustrating then looking for something and not being able to find it.

Top 3 things we do to help stay organized:

1. We have the cubes with the cloth boxes for our daughters toys 

     2.  We use lots of Tupperware to contain groups of toys like My Little Pony items or Littlest Pet    
          Shop

    3.  Almost everything in our living room does double duty. The coffee and end tables have drawers       
         and baskets to hide toys from sight.

 

I like how easy it is to hid things if we want or need to. Yes we do clean the house and make it adult like from now and then for company.  

She knows where her things go and it makes it easier for her to find things later.

Do things still go missing? Absolutely. Do things always get put away? Nope.


Our house does not have an entry way closet. So to help with piles of coats and shoes on the floor we installed a coat hook bar and placed what is actually a book case under it to hold our shoes. Since we recently got new carpet a few months back we also have a basket with grippy slippers for guests to put over their socks if they are not comfortable other wise. Hey we all have something.

I do believe I have a touch of OCD :-)  As everything has a place and the routines at the end of the day are to put them in their places is a must. It is a nice way to feel in control of life when life gets crazy.

As they say there is a place for everything and everything has its place. Happy Organizing!
