Needing Some Advice On Organization
One of my goals for the new year was to become more organized. This has really been something that my family has struggled with. It has become a huge problem in my daughter's room. We do not have a system in place for her to know where to put things back up after she plays with things, so they get left out or shoved under her bed.
I planned to tackle her room and get it in order at the first of the year, but then we had my husband's hospital stay and it just never happened. This morning my daughter was asking to rearrange her room, so we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to straighten and sort everything. We have dug everything out from under her bed and sorted like items in grocery bags lined up down the hallway.
I thought I would ask you guys what works for you. Do you have a system that you love? Have you seen a great blog post about this sort of thing? Leave a comment below, or a link to a blog post or a retail website of the item you use and love. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Negative comments greatly appreciated too, if you have had problems with a particular method. If we are going to spend a bit on something (instead of grabbing plastic bins from the $0.99 store like I suggested), then I want to make sure we get it right!
Thanks!

Hi, I found your blog from Simply CVS. I have seen plastic tubs work very effectively if placed on shelves that only hold 1 or 2 in a stack. More than that and it becomes a mess. Printing small pics of the items to go inside is helpful too. In my sons' room in our apt we just stacked some sturdy boxes up and placed his toys inside. It was very effective to keep things separated but not have a huge expense for shelving. Here is a link to a post with a picture of his closet. http://www.thriftytexaspenny.com/2010/10/reduce-reuse-repurpose.html
i totally just left a long comment on your blog, but then my browser crashed when i tried to submit it. I like the boxes. I'm waiting on an organizer I found at walmart.com to arrive, but I think we will need more and theres another kid too, so the boxes are a great idea.
