Get Organized this School Year…One of the main benefits of being organized is saving or creating more time for yourself and family. And with summer play days gone and long nights of homework, laundry and dishes in full swing, extra time is much needed for busy parents. An easy way to give yourself more time and include the family is to assign everyone a task. Whether it be cleaning up after dinner, feeding the animals, sorting laundry or cleaning up toys, there are chores for even the smallest member of the bunch. Get a dry erase board and write everyone’s name and chore on it so all will know where they are needed and how their contribution will help. Place the board where all eyes can view it and use colored markers to make it fun.
A great board to try is the Chore Chart from Board Dudes. It helps to teach and encourage kids to be responsible and simple to use. It comes with a dry erase pen and reward magnets. The board also works well for posting notes, lists and reminders. Happy Organizing! - Mrs. O
Show Us Your Shoes…As summer slowly fades and fall creeps up on us, we are faced with the task of putting away our cute tank tops and sassy sandals and swapping them for head turning scarves and traffic stopping boots. Making this transition can sometimes be daunting because it means making room in the closet for all those sweaters and jackets and possibly finding room under the bed for our soon to be hibernating shorts and sun dresses. Having the proper storage and organization tools can make this process a breeze. Space bags are super space savers and are air and water tight keeping out dust and dirt. They work great for any location and climate. And contrary to popular belief, underbed storage doesn’t have to consist of cardboard boxes that rip and tear. The Canvas & Navy Underbed Chest by Richards Homewares is perfect for bringing out the old and putting away the new. Or vice versa; once the weather starts to heat up again, simply place the sweaters and blankets back under the bed. Plus the clear vinyl top makes for easy identification of the contents. Sweater Shelves also add a simple and organized look to your closet and help keep your winter wardrobe looking its best.
And please don’t neglect your shoes. A woman’s most important accessory needs to have proper storage solutions also. The Crystal Clear Shoe Drawers give your prized possessions the protection they need and you can stack, shelve and store your shoes without the clutter all over the floor. To help get you started on the right foot, Mrs. Organized and Fantastic Toe have partnered to offer you a chance to save on your next Organize.com purchase and show off your creativity…or lack thereof. All you have to do is take a picture of your shoe storage and submit it to Fantastic Toe. Anyone who posts a picture will receive a free Fantastic Toe shoe travel kit.
