How to Organize Paperwork - Create a Drop Zone It’s really important to have a set landing place for all the paperwork coming in daily. A well-placed basket, bin, or magazine holder can help contain and conceal the incoming paperwork. I use a basket in our laundry room—as we enter the house through the garage, we walk right past the laundry room before coming into the kitchen—I strongly dislike paperwork on my kitchen counters so I catch the papers before they make it that far. Find a spot in your home that makes it easy to collect the paperwork but won’t drive you crazy to look at. As I carry in the mail, it’s easy to spot the promotional offers, advertisements, credit card offers, etc.—throw these items directly in the trash. Adding junk mail to your basket or bin makes tackling important paperwork much more cumbersome. Now, you have your basket and it’s starting to fill up with paperwork. Once or twice a week sit down, fill out any necessary forms, pay any bills, and start filing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1549345152818-Q7KYGMW541HFTSFKKAC8/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190204090830202_COVER.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Paperwork - Instead of a filing cabinet… I store all paperwork in three ring binders. A binder is easy to carry around so you can do your filing, well, pretty much anywhere. It makes paperwork easier to see and refer back to if needed. Plus, binders take up a lot less space than filing cabinets. If the thought of re-filing your entire filing cabinet is daunting, start by trying this method out for the current year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/69959561-a700-4920-a072-6b564d2d92f7/LRM_EXPORT_416472498548193_20190204_204335795.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Paperwork - Tax Documents + Financial Records Use tabbed dividers to file each of your monthly statements: utility bills, phone bills, pay stubs, financial and investment statements, tax documents... most of your paperwork will be stored in this binder. If you wish to completely eliminate the filing cabinet and use this method for the previous years, that’s excellent! You’ll need 7 binders—one for each year the IRS wants you to hang onto tax returns, W-2s, and investment records. Once I file our taxes, I shred the contents of the oldest binder, and it becomes my binder for the current year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/b696ebc6-e639-4aad-a17d-f760d206f8fc/PXL_20230223_194250594.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Paperwork - Property This is where you will keep real estate records for any property or properties that you own. It’s also a good idea to keep record of improvements to your property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1549376291190-8B5TBW4C5BFKW86C6ELL/LRM_EXPORT_447726210025599_20190205_080943868.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Paperwork - Instructions + Warranties Are instruction manuals littered throughout your home? The TV manual is stuffed somewhere in the family room, the dishwasher manual is crammed in the junk drawer, and what about the warranty information for the washer and dryer? At some point, you’ll have a full load of sopping wet laundry and the washer is going to give you some error code—you’ll want that booklet handy. Grab a binder to organize instruction manuals, warranty information, and receipts (if necessary) for items in your home. I use a page protector for each item so all the necessary documents are kept together. When you sell your home, it’s really considerate to pass along instructions and warranty information of the items being sold with the home (i.e. furnace, air conditioner, large kitchen appliances) to the buyer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1549340710599-P6Q0AVOIBMCNZ7RBG66S/LRM_EXPORT_416452045177509_20190204_204315341.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Paperwork - Schoolwork School-aged kids bring home a massive amount of paper, at least mine do. Each week we hole-punch and add the schoolwork to a binder. Then, at the end of the school year, we sit down together and pick out the assignments that we want to have as keepsakes—usually the ones that include a drawing, or a writing assignment. It’s nice to look back at all the completed work, and it makes it easier to pick out the things that have meaning. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/6/8/5-kitchen-organizing-essentials monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1591711165506-AEEMHTKSSKKTVK88OHLE/utensil+tray.jpg Blogs - 5 Kitchen Organizing Essentials - Adjustable Bamboo Silverware Tray These silverware trays slide to adjust to fit almost any kitchen drawer. This design eliminates gaps and wasted spaces within the drawer. Plastic utensil trays are often chunky and end up wasting valuable storage space. Bamboo is durable, resistant to bacteria, and often blends right in with the inside of your drawers and cabinets giving your kitchen a high-end custom look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1591711204549-5THRS9VGSBPWOPYOE6U9/dividers.jpg Blogs - 5 Kitchen Organizing Essentials - Bamboo Drawer Dividers These spring loaded dividers are a versatile storage solution.

Get a utensil crock for these large and awkwardly-sized kitchen necessities. A utensil crock not only frees up drawer space, but it keeps frequently used cooking utensils handy. It’s always best to keep countertops as clear and clutter-free as possible, but a utensil crock remains on my must-have list! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1591711238569-BC83D5965Q1JVA9MCDBW/tieredshelf.jpg Blogs - 5 Kitchen Organizing Essentials - Tiered Spice Shelf If you store spices within a cabinet, a tiered shelf will allow you to easily read the labels and see everything you have on hand. Tiered shelves also make it easier access the spice jars in the back. Opt for a shelf that can adjust to get a perfect fit within your cabinet space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1591711242056-QNLTLGJ3KC5OUISX4KIT/turntable.jpg Blogs - 5 Kitchen Organizing Essentials - Turntable A turntable, or lazy susan, is the perfect solution for oils, vinegars, oversized spice jars, and much more. The products stored within a turntable will take up less cabinet space, and will be easier to find and grab. Opt for a turntable with enough of a lip to prevent the contents from tipping over, but not so high that it will be difficult to lift items out. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/lighting-guide monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1b217586-0ca7-4bb4-a9d9-b5b2e9239137/3.png Blogs - Lighting Guide - Double Pendants Over Kitchen Island Leave approximately 12 inches from the outside edge of each pendant and the edge of the island.

Discard any expired or unwanted products. Group items into categories—canned goods, baking supplies, snacks, grains, dinner kits, etc. This will help you assess your specific storage needs. Create a layout that works for your space and family. We recommend storing your most frequently used products on the easy-to-reach middle shelves. Heavy items, like canned goods, work best stored near the floor. High shelves are great for backstock and infrequently used products, like seasonal baking items and party supplies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/8fc5df20-49c6-4b1d-b951-943e842c36a5/Selections%2B%2811%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Your Pantry - Step 2: Shop Storage Solutions Measure each shelf—width, depth, and height. This will help you select organizing materials that best fit your space. Decanting into clear canisters is a great way to maximize storage space (by removing bulky packaging) and track stock (by allowing you to see how much is on hand at a glance).

You want potential buyers to feel there is ample space to meet their needs. You also want to avoid wasting time packing and moving items to your new home that you no longer need. Added bonus: you’ll save money on packing materials and moving costs. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to complete the task of decluttering. Once you get down to the wire, you’ll be more tempted to just throw everything in boxes and get it out the door, but this creates even more stress and work for you as you’re trying to get settled in your new home. + Tidy all closets—pack up excess linens, clothing, and other items that you can do without during the moving process. Removing seasonal items is a great place to start. + Reduce paper clutter around your home and immediately sort and file incoming mail. Keeping surfaces clean and clear will take a lot of stress out of preparing for showing appointments. + For even more ideas check out my Declutter Checklist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1596670050486-64PFVH6O03UV3WC52AFD/Moving%2BImages%2B%25283%2529.jpg Blogs - 3 Things To Do Before Listing Your House - Step 2: Depersonalize If your home is filled with personal items it will be hard for other families to visualize themselves living in the space. + Pack personal items like family pictures and collectibles. You might consider replacing family photos with downloadable prints. (Etsy has great selections at affordable costs). Surfaces that once held collectibles or personal items can be styled with a stack of books or a vase of fresh flowers. + It’s also a good idea to pack up unneeded toys, craft supplies, and hobby materials as these may prevent a potential buyer from feeling at home in your space. + Buyers should be able to focus on your space and not be distracted by your stuff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1596668291727-073DNQXYGRV93YSOVQI9/Moving+Images.png Blogs - 3 Things To Do Before Listing Your House - Step 3: Stage I’ve seen first-hand the value of staging. Our first home sold in less than 7 days and I’ve given staging advice and assistance that has helped others land an offer in less than 24 hours. Something as simple as moving a piece of furniture may just net you thousands of dollars. + Painting is an affordable way to give your home a crisp and cohesive look. Choose a warm, neutral color to make your home feel spacious and inviting. + Be sure to show off your home’s lighting. Open the blinds and pull back the curtains so your home is filled with natural light. Additionally, make sure your light fixtures are clean and have working bulbs. + Use your furniture and decor to showcase how each room in your home can be used. In some cases, it’s best to pair down your furniture to make rooms feel more spacious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1596667883130-MV73QAKB40IR9KATLGLW/Realtor+Stats+%282%29.png Blogs - 3 Things To Do Before Listing Your House https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/tips-for-living-more-simply monthly 0.5 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/3449986c-99e7-451c-b2bf-6e2ee7649ae9/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%289%29.png Blogs - 26 Tips for Living More Simply in 2026 https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/5/16/55-things-to-declutter monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1589724753629-49ZRQNJ2MU5VWN1OVUZQ/55+Things+to+Declutter.png Blogs - 55 Things to Declutter (…that you won’t even miss!) https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/our-top-paint-colors monthly 0.5 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/7797a6f6-defc-4775-b940-a67623eaa9dc/Top+Paint+Colors+2026.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/ffd417d2-d3f5-46b2-8348-27c4db1a46b7/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%281%29.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/17cbdadd-e141-4d64-808c-154293f9dc92/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%282%29.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/f6e94a14-77d9-4aab-b772-be78562efbf2/14.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1de2a89d-cd7c-4a6d-b904-f75da936ed27/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%283%29.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/8f407f54-9fb7-47a3-963a-c704d2d578ec/16.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/77002a03-9b23-4d58-94b4-4e39891e7bbf/7.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/49e35f4b-e430-4ebc-84c3-d19567a5faff/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%284%29.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/152b4f43-a6ab-4b36-a50a-628fd7097d47/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%285%29.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/d51ae0ee-71d7-4ee9-9525-3ac6485b8e5d/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%286%29.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/38be0399-d43e-42de-a63d-6cfc7b5dd14b/11.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/ad34c43f-8049-4dbb-bb59-c2a48845c6da/Top+Paint+Colors+2026+%287%29.png Blogs - Our Top Paint Colors of 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/how-to-organize-your-medicine-cabinet monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1569974666087-IJD0DCXK1AVOP49QG5TY/IMG_20191001_175849+%281%29.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Your Medicine Cabinet - 1. Edit Start by removing everything from the medicine cabinet onto a table or counter, giving yourself plenty of room to work. Throw out any unnecessary packaging materials, like the boxes and plastic wrappers medicine bottles are packaged within—just make sure you retain dosage information. Removing bulky packaging material will free up some storage space and make your medicine more accessible. Set aside any medications that are expired or you no longer need. Most large chain pharmacies offer a dropbox to properly dispose of medications. Google search ‘medication disposal near me’ to find a convenient location in your area. Make a note of any medications you need to restock. You can pick up the items you need and properly dispose of expired medications with one trip to the pharmacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1569903273276-00LJX70PZRASFLNJLRZY/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%25284%2529.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Your Medicine Cabinet - 2. Sort There are several ways you can go about organizing your medication. Group items in a way that makes the most sense for your family. Because we don’t have a large supply of medicine, I separate ours by adult, children, first aid, and daily vitamins. You may wish to organize your items by the symptoms they treat—allergy, cold and cough, pain and fever, etc. However you choose to organize, keep these things in mind: It’s best to keep medication in its original container. This prevents any cross-contamination, keeps medication easily identifiable, and assures you have accurate dosing information. Keeping your adult dosages stored separately from children’s medication makes it extra quick and simple to find the right medicine for the job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1569903240564-TQKU3CN90CLARNH43VPS/Untitled%2Bdesign%2B%25283%2529.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Your Medicine Cabinet - 3. Organize Use small containers to separate your categories of medication. While one large bin might look nicer on a shelf, small containers help keep the items organized, upright, and prevents the need to rummage through countless bottles. Clear storage containers keep medication visible, making it easier to find just what you need, when you need it. Stackable containers are a great way to maximize your shelf space. Assess the amount of medication you have, the number of categories you’ve created, and your storage space to find the best containers for your needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1569903495280-3KA3GZXR66WIPHBK8E49/1+%281%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Your Medicine Cabinet - 4. Label To further ensure your medications are easy to find, label your bins by category. I use chalk marker to write directly on my bins— it easily wipes off with a damp cloth if I decide to swap out containers or switch up my categories. If you’d like a more permanent label, vinyl stickers work well on plastic or acrylic containers. Gift tags or bin label clips are both good options for wicker baskets or wire bins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1569973583214-65P2Y0IWXPD1P26V56JE/Untitled+design+%281%29+%281%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Your Medicine Cabinet - 5.

How to Organize Your Garage - 1. Sort & Edit Like most home organizing projects, start by getting rid of the items you no longer need—like outgrown toys and broken equipment. Sorting everything into categories as you go allows you to easily identify duplicate and unwanted items. Be realistic about what you need to keep. Unless you run a landscaping business, you probably don’t need two weed-eaters or five shovels. Trash or recycle the items that are broken. Donate or sell the items that might be of use to someone else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1585664573240-PG93JFN1WNX7CAORCOEV/1.png Blogs - How to Organize Your Garage - 2. Clean it up With the items you no longer want out of the way, it’s time to clean up—knock down the cobwebs, sweep the floors, and wipe down any shelves that are staying in place. Now also is a great time to patch any holes and apply a fresh coat of paint! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/087f7809-ff28-4788-9308-5fa913816aa0/Garage+%281%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Your Garage - 3. Game Plan Make a list of all the items you need to store—each shovel, broom, bike… you name it. Draw out the walls of your garage to plan the best placement for each item. This works best if you use graph paper and draw to scale to ensure you create enough designated space for each item. Keep like items together—yard tools in one area, kids’ toys and gear in another. Use storage bins to group and contain small items on shelving. Remember to account for the large items that need floor space, like mowers and trash cans, but aim to keep the floor as clear as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/fc006a8e-8433-47d7-974a-00fc09e8355d/Garage.png Blogs - How to Organize Your Garage - 4. Shop Supplies There are lot of garage organizing systems available—for an easy-to-install, durable, and customizable system—I recommend Gladiator. Take count of the rails, hooks, baskets, shelves, etc. needed to implement your plan and start shopping. Need some inspiration? Shop some of our go-to’s below! Note: It’s tempting to install two rows of storage, but often a single row is the most effective. Carefully consider the best height for the items you need to store and how accessible you need things to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1585677366453-XQM9IK40P704FKN4QWF6/Simplify%2Byour%2Blife.%2B%25282%2529.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Your Garage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/da3bcc26-5da1-432d-847e-1510683cb74e/March+Newsletter+Squares+%2817%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Your Garage - Yard tools and lawn equipment… Count the number of products that need hung.

Gift Wrapping Tips - Tip #1 Stick with neutral wrapping materials and avoid over-purchasing. I like to buy gift wrap that is solid in color so that it can be used for a variety of occasions. I especially like the simple brown kraft paper. It’s fun to dress up with ribbons, bows, stamps, or drawings. My kids love drawing right on the wrapped gifts to help personalize the packages for each recipient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1576612398392-1M1HU2W3YNGICDGB72EB/IMG_20191217_110856+%281%29.jpg Blogs - Gift Wrapping Tips - Tip #2 Splurge on heavy-duty wrapping paper. Save yourself a lot of frustration and wasted scraps. High quality wrapping paper is much easier to work with. Plus, you’ll avoid unwanted rips and tears before the gift gets in the hands of the recipient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1576559070183-W42UFN02QTVY0ILKBGIT/kate-macate-xmddEHyCisc-unsplash%2B%25282%2529.jpg Blogs - Gift Wrapping Tips - Tip #3 Instead of greeting cards, purchase boxes of blank cards and gift tags and fill them in with my your own messages and drawings. It makes those cards so much more personal and special for the recipient. (If you’re stumped for ideas, Google ‘holiday greetings’ and ‘Christmas drawing tutorials’.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1576557356677-WFBW74HA7FNSAQHT5TW3/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20191213115759392_COVER.jpg Blogs - Gift Wrapping Tips - Tip #4 ‘Color code’ your gift wrap. Do you have multiple Christmas parties to attend, each with their own set of gifts to be given? Choose different wrapping paper or bows in different colors to distinguish which gifts get taken along to which party—Gold bows go to Aunt Bethany’s. Green ribbons go to Cousin Eddie’s. Red wrapping paper gets put under the Christmas tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1576555719045-ZYOGFS9ORT04116MHZNI/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20191213121543196_COVER.jpg Blogs - Gift Wrapping Tips - Tip #5 Those empty Christmas storage bins make a great place to stash all the gifts you want to keep hidden until Christmas morning. Our bins are stored on shelves and can’t be opened unless taken down, so I can rest assured there’s no peeking happening here. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/11/18-gift-ideas-that-wont-become-clutter monthly 0.5 2024-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1574218461613-ISKHW1AK3TTH1TAF6W5M/Gift+Ideas+%283%29.png Blogs - Gift Ideas that Won’t Become Clutter https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/4/17/how-to-plan-a-guest-room monthly 0.5 2024-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1555555710965-FZ8GNKMJKEGPDHG5C601/IMG_20190417_135408.jpg Blogs - How to Plan a Guest Room - Comfort Comfort is top priority. Keep bedding simple with sheets, perhaps a light blanket, and a comforter. In addition, tuck an extra blanket close by to ensure your guests are cozy no matter the temperature. I need two pillows to sleep comfortably so I provide my guests with the same, offering both soft and firm options. Store an extra set of sheets in an easy to find spot just in case the need arises. A bedside table and lamp gives your guests the comforts of home, allowing them to relax with a book at the end of the day, and eliminating the need to trek unfamiliar territory in the dark. If you don’t have nightstands on hand, get creative! We use my grandmother’s antique sewing machine as a bedside table, but you could even use something as simple as a chair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1555555082377-GPRSIPG7ASYT99JBQKLH/IMG_20190417_135057.jpg Blogs - How to Plan a Guest Room - Storage Space This is a challenge for our space because the room doesn’t have a closet and the loft ceiling makes furniture placement tricky. There is no simple way to incorporate a dresser or hanging rod into the space. I installed a hook on the back of the door for a place to hang a coat, purse, or nice outfit—I have more hooks for the door, but they proved to be pain to install with my limited handyman abilities, so finishing that project is now on my honey-do list. I knew I wanted some type of bench or ottoman for the foot of the bed. After visiting countless stores, I deemed an outdoor bench perfect. (Added bonus: if guests aren’t staying over we can move it out to the patio for additional seating!) This bench makes the perfect spot to plop down your luggage or sit down to put on shoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1555555184233-DBTG76K5WMOBH071G2J4/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190417133411754_COVER.jpg Blogs - How to Plan a Guest Room - Towels + Toiletries I hate having to pack shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. for trips. I always make sure my guests know in advance that I will have these items for their use. No one needs to fret about the threat of a lotion explosion within their luggage. We obviously stock the bathroom with essentials, but I also like to keep some extra towels and toiletries right in the room so guests don’t have to feel uncomfortable digging in closets and cabinets to find what they need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1555555260702-O0VELEBBMCMLE7C5G4PN/IMG_20190417_165744.jpg Blogs - How to Plan a Guest Room - Food + Drink I enjoy a bedtime snack, but that meal typically doesn’t happen when you’re staying elsewhere. I know most of my guests are comfortable enough to raid my pantry for a midnight snack if their stomachs start to growl, but it’s a nice gesture to set a few snacks in the guest room so they won’t have to go wandering around your dark house in the middle of the night. Be sure to also stash a couple bottles of water in the guest room. No one wants to be guessing which cabinet has the drinking glasses once everyone else has gone to bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1555555497994-NH5Z4MIHXHJFRYTLL1SB/IMG_20190417_134558.jpg Blogs - How to Plan a Guest Room - Electronics + Entertainment The wifi password is one of the first things a guest is going to want to know. I have a framed sign with our wifi password on a desk in our guest room. I also like to keep a pen and notebook handy in case someone needs to jot down a quick note. In the process of going through our charging cables—you can read that post here—I set aside extra adapters and charging cords to keep in the guest room. Other people’s electronics can be confusing and intimidating. We have a TV in our guest room with a Chromecast plugged in, this allows guests to not only watch our streaming services, but stream from their own accounts and devices—if they are in the middle of binge watching something on Netflix, cueing up the next episode will be as easy as if they were in their own living room. Perhaps reading is more their style… I have a small collection of books in our guest room that I wouldn’t mind guests taking along when they leave. I also set out some local magazines that might just inspire an outing for food or fun while they are in town. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1555559011919-SLBRJ3740YGF5JCGI53K/IMG_20190417_134649.jpg Blogs - How to Plan a Guest Room - Freedom While I love spending time with my guests, I don’t want them to feel tethered to me. Providing guests with a spare key and/or a garage door opener gives them a little extra freedom and makes your house feel even more like home. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/9/17/fall monthly 0.5 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568899599062-FDEP1RRDRJKOILG8AFVH/IMG_20190916_155733.jpg Blogs - Simple, Natural, and Affordable Fall Decor - Be Resourceful Jars, baskets, lanterns, bowls, and trays make your fall decorative arrangements look bigger and better, without having to purchase—and find storage space for—more seasonal décor. These items are already sitting around the house, perhaps some are tucked away in closets or cabinets, but I can almost guarantee you have them—find them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568899133683-PH78UQJ0I0G57L85R50K/IMG_20190918_172530.jpg Blogs - Simple, Natural, and Affordable Fall Decor - Collect from Nature Elements of fall can likely be found by venturing out your front door. Pick up some of those fallen leaves to use as décor around the house. They look great sprinkled around a serving tray, in a bowl, tucked around shelves, or, if you’re crafty, included on a DIY wreath. To preserve the color of the leaves, iron them on low between two pieces of wax paper. Small branches and limbs can be placed inside vases for a bold and dramatic look. In October, this décor piece gives a spooky vibe. Through the month of November, my family writes things we are thankful for on gift tags—like these—that we tie onto the branches. By Thanksgiving, we have a not-so-spooky tree full of gratitude. Pinecones last well beyond Thanksgiving—I display them throughout autumn and winter. I’m fortunate to live in a neighborhood with an abundance of evergreens—my kids seem to find armloads every time we take a walk. Instead of strolling the aisles of a craft store, go on a nature walk to seek out pinecones for your seasonal décor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568899174704-5FR445CSAAHCOSYNBNB1/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190918154431220_COVER_2.jpg Blogs - Simple, Natural, and Affordable Fall Decor - Get Creative Feed corn can bring in the golden hues of fall when used as a vase filler, or even just set out in jars. But, unless you’re into backyard poultry, feed corn has little use once the season is over. Instead, I use popcorn kernels. It works in the same way, you likely already have it on hand, and you can actually use it. If you’re just setting out sealed jars of popcorn for a pop of autumn color, it’s safe to consume for your Christmas movie nights, but you may not want to eat popcorn kernels that have been collecting dust in a vase or open container for the past couple months—after Thanksgiving, pop the dusty kernels to string up as garland for around the Christmas tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568914764647-QMV7Y4CDJ91NHGTXESU6/IMG_20190916_160947.jpg Blogs - Simple, Natural, and Affordable Fall Decor - Shop Smart Mums have become the official flower of fall because of their late blooming season, and hardiness to the changing weather. As the yard begins to look bare, mums offer a way to add in new life and fall colors, but they cost a small fortune. If I buy any, it’s only a plant or two. Corn stalks and straw bales can be inexpensive alternatives for adding a large decorative element to the front porch. Indian corn is also inexpensive, and looks great placed around the house and used in centerpieces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568914722703-5O57VIK1S0J828ALN3ZR/IMG_20190916_154627.jpg Blogs - Simple, Natural, and Affordable Fall Decor - Get the Most Out of Your Pumpkins Pumpkins and gourds come in a variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. If you want to keep a neutral look, seek out white pumpkins or gourds in muted blues and greens. Large pumpkins are great for decorating around the front door and the fireplace hearth, but the cost adds up quickly, so use them sparingly. Small pumpkins look great perched on shelves, on the mantle, or even as a centerpiece. Mini pumpkins and gourds are super affordable and are great to place in those vases, jars, trays, bowls, and baskets that you already have on hand. Be sure to wash the pumpkins once you get them home to get rid of dirt and bacteria that may cause them to rot sooner. If you have no intention of cooking your decorative pumpkins, spray them with a clear sealant to make them last the whole season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568914810784-LHN62P0QL8PLUXQSGFWZ/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190916155102856_COVER_2.jpg Blogs - Simple, Natural, and Affordable Fall Decor - Incorporate Fall Fabrics If there’s a fabric of fall, it’s burlap. Burlap is inexpensive and has many uses—table runners, banners, and wreaths. To make your burlap last year after year, an iron-on backing helps the fabric retain its shape, and the product Stop Fraying will—you guessed it—stop the fabric from fraying. Twine can transform just about any vase, jar, or bowl into a fall decoration. Use twine to tie up a bundle of Indian corn or dried wheat. Wrap it around your pumpkins to create a trendy look, or give them a single bow for a touch of whimsy. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/photo-storage monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/aa8dbad7-7ad1-4c51-b69e-750ac68afbd1/3.png Blogs - Photo Storage - Shutterfly Save photos and easily print pictures, make photo books, and create photo gifts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/85a6fc6c-2273-4b81-b203-3b50cab6720b/1.png Blogs - Photo Storage - Google Photos Easily store photos and videos in one place accessible from any device. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/816e51b4-bbbd-4360-90e7-8414e074b950/2.png Blogs - Photo Storage - Digital Photo Frame A fun way to display current photos without a physical print.

Purge + Declutter As you’re decorating for each season, be mindful of the items you are choosing to not use. If you didn’t use an item this year, what are the chances you’ll want to use it next year, or the year after that? Have you purchased or received new decor items that can replace the old? If something is broken, is it worth it to you to fix it? Maybe you have family heirlooms that just don’t match your style, consider if there’s another relative who would put them on display. Perhaps you’re holding onto items for sentimental reasons. If you have no intention of decorating with those items, a keepsake box would be a more appropriate storage solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1575589721780-6IUAWMQSDEEXTX4M09HZ/00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20191205151836351.jpg Blogs - 3 Tips for Storing Seasonal Decor - 2. Contain Once you’ve purged unwanted items, you’ll have a good idea of just how much you have left to contain. I recommend using heavy duty bins that are uniform in size and stack neatly. That means getting rid of the mismatched boxes. Be sure to measure any shelving you plan to use and get bins that will best fit your space. For Christmas decor, use extra long bins that are capable of holding artificial trees and greenery, but keep ALL decor items in the same size and style of bin. This ensures everything can be neatly stacked, you’ll more easily be able to see everything you have, and your storage area will have a uniform look. For smaller decor pieces, use smaller bins, boxes, or dividers within the larger containers to keep things neat. Try to group decor pieces by the location they are displayed to simplify decorating room by room. For the seasons with far less decorative pieces to store, opt for smaller bins, but again, bins that are uniform in shape and size. Depending on your amount of seasonal decor, you may combine a couple ‘seasons’ into one storage container—I’m looking at you Fall/Halloween bin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1575590254324-4DF6AQEPL5HWF8BH3Y6I/Christmas+wreaths+%281%29.png Blogs - 3 Tips for Storing Seasonal Decor - 3. Label For most seasonal decor bins, labeling the bin with the corresponding season is likely sufficient. For Christmas decor, be a little more descriptive to assure it’s easy to locate the items you’re looking for. You may want to hang the outdoor garland before you’re ready to put up the stockings, and I’m guessing you’d rather save the effort of opening each ‘Christmas’ bin. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/12/9/wrapping-paper monthly 0.5 2023-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1575948897198-3GU7B1688BQ332305F1R/Untitled+design+%281%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Gift Wrap - Craft Storage Cart This cart creates a great little storage space for all your gift wrapping needs. There’s space for wrapping paper rolls, drawers for all your wrapping supplies, dowel rods for keeping ribbons tidy, even shelf space for gift boxes and bags.

When it’s time to wrap, just roll this cart right next to your work surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1575906721522-3TYG1YSTX8F453Z3T9JN/wrap.jpg Blogs - How to Organize Gift Wrap - Craft Room Rack This storage system is great if you’re tight on space.

An old changing table was being stored in the basement and one day, I tossed a roll of wrapping paper on it—light bulb. This could make a great gift wrapping station! A few bins and storage drawers later and my dream of owning a wrapping paper organizer came true. There’s ample space for everything I need. The wrapping paper rolls lay flat, keeping them from snagging or getting torn edges. Added bonus, I spent $0 and repurposed something that was just taking up storage space. Perhaps you have something that could work in this same way! An old dresser? A chest of drawers? Add in some drawer dividers and organizing bins. If needed, mount a bin or basket to the side for storing wrapping paper rolls. Viola! https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/holiday-lookbook monthly 0.5 2023-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/eadf79e8-4d6f-436a-abd7-919f2d1f75e9/Holiday+Lookbook+%286%29.png Blogs -

Storage Room Organization - Edit It’s a given that there are things in your storage area that you no longer need. The first step is to get rid of those items. It’s important not to keep things just because you have the space. The end goal is that only the items you truly want and need are stored in your home. I like to call this intentional storage, meaning, everything has a purpose. Start with the “easy” stuff—if you’re a sentimental person, save the keepsakes for last; if you love your seasonal decor, save that for later. Start with the items that you know need to go! This puts you in the right mindset for the job and gets the ball rolling. Once you’re in a purging groove, it’ll be easier to sort out the more meaningful items. Donate, sell, or trash—do whatever it takes to get the unwanted items out of your home. Once you’re left with only what you intend to keep, condense. Group like items and store together in… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/716cd245-6bd4-42d8-accb-e915ed20baeb/Selections+%2857%29.png Blogs - Storage Room Organization - Storage Bins Cardboard boxes do not stand the test of time and do a poor job protecting your belongings. Instead, get heavy-duty plastic tubs for the job. I recommend bins for everything, literally. Even my paint cans are stored in a bin—having everything contained gives your storage area a uniform look and makes it easy to find items as you need them. I prefer opaque bins for the most clean and tidy look. Some people prefer clear bins so they can more easily see the contents—choose whichever suits your needs. Then, be sure to… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/f010b98c-f112-42a7-b9df-db4e4c90f867/Selections+%2859%29.png Blogs - Storage Room Organization - Label As you’re putting your items into bins, it is imperative that you properly label everything. Labels allow you to quickly find items when you go looking for them. Don’t make the mistake of thinking, “I’ll remember what’s in that bin.” Make life easier and label everything. For bins containing a variety of items (i.e. my party supply bin), I also label the side of the bin with an itemized list of the contents. (If I’m planning a birthday party, I can skip riffling through the bin, I just check over the itemized list and see exactly what I have on hand.) Now that your items are all in labeled bins you’re ready to… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/9bfd6947-f93e-4f00-a433-95174bfc2603/Selections+%2858%29.png Blogs - Storage Room Organization - Shelve While most plastic bins are designed for stacking, that doesn’t make for the most convenient way to get to your belongings. For the most accessibility, you’re going to need some shelves. Prefabricated shelving units are simple to assemble, but if you’re up for creating custom built-in shelving, there are some great DIY tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest for easy and inexpensive storage shelves. Be sure to consider the size of your storage bins when buying or building a shelving unit. Ensure the bins you have will fit on the shelves without leaving wasteful gaps. When planning the layout of your shelf space, try to keep like items together. For example, all Christmas decorations on one shelving unit, keepsakes on another, an additional unit for home repair supplies, and so on. Categorizing and grouping bins together makes it easier to know right where to go to find what you’re searching for. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/home-update-inspo monthly 0.5 2023-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/73ba38a2-1a9d-4978-a80c-70cb83013f13/Selections+%284%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/ae84f177-e71c-4475-96a3-abe7583e44d8/Selections+%283%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/fbd2b841-29b9-4e33-98af-123c33d195e8/bridget-recycled-glass-pendant-1-xl.jpg Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/8393a70e-df79-41df-bbd2-0e385e4e20fa/Selections+%285%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/0706ed80-75a9-4c71-a205-49b06f22b9e7/Selections+%287%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1583aeb7-a338-46b0-b22b-0b3465d9f721/Selections+%288%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/3bab091a-5f41-41cb-9afc-801abdfab469/Selections.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/63a1ad46-86a8-451b-be9d-67661906d53c/Selections+%281%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/67ec47ca-adce-4fe9-81eb-4371f901357f/Selections+%2810%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/600bc625-352a-4641-a04e-56ef117f9622/Selections+%289%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/df40aca3-c507-4ffa-b055-bf9b311814a5/RussellPillowCombo_2000x.jpeg Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/fe71e947-736e-4849-b1cc-68b79d2cf50c/Selections+%282%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/d09269d7-42c5-4a06-afc2-32e003cbfe80/T_WithoutZoom.jpeg Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/d1c27809-05c0-462a-8b2a-84a0adaa995d/Selections%2B%2827%29.png Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/4070f4a3-d0f3-4401-aa00-dd7ba6c5698b/store_item_sku_154969983.jpg Blogs - Simple and Affordable Home Update Inspo - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/5-simple-chores-to-do-every-day monthly 0.5 2023-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1617810347862-YFFVSV076CSI0KFM9TOQ/IMG_20200406_142658.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Chores To Do Every Day... - 1. Make the beds This job takes less than five minutes, but it has an enormous impact on the appearance of your bedrooms. Making the bed can transform your space from a disorderly mess to a peaceful escape. Plus, you get to start off your day with a sense of accomplishment! Crossing this item off of your “to-do” list will allow you to be one step closer to feeling like you have your life together, and it will likely motivate you to take on larger tasks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1617810643768-PGCO2J6XQO95QDEAF4B9/IMG_20191023_164252.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Chores To Do Every Day... - 2. Pick up shoes If you have a dog, this one seems obvious. Even if you don’t have a furry friend, picking up the shoes can make a tremendous difference in your home’s tidiness. The entryway is the first part of the house that you see once you enter. Now, imagine opening your door to a clean rug, instead of a mountain of shoes. You will instantly feel better! Be sure to check out my Entryway Storage Solutions... for Shoes blog post for more tips on keeping shoes off the floor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1617810777372-GBOGGO1RF81NWRPL5CMV/PXL_20201102_194531116+%281%29.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Chores To Do Every Day... - 3. Complete a load of laundry Most people plan to do the laundry on Sundays in order to have all of their clothes clean for the upcoming week. In reality, this plan doesn’t usually work out. The weekends become filled with errands, relaxation, and quality time with family and friends. Who wants to do laundry when you can go for a bike ride, watch your favorite show, or eat dinner with your friends? If you do one load of laundry each day, this job becomes more manageable. Your hamper doesn’t start to overflow, and your drawers stay stocked. Doing laundry every day will definitely help you feel like you have your life together. ***I know it's tempting to restart the dryer 37 times to avoid having to actually fold the laundry and put it away, but don't fall into the trap! To make this feel like less of a chore, try chatting on the phone or listening to an audiobook or podcast while you work. Prefer music?

Do the dishes Dirty dishes might just be the most persistent and demanding of any household chore. I'd rather not admit to the number of times I've served the kids cereal in a pyrex bowl because all of the bowls are dirty. There have been times I ordered dinner out just to avoid having to wash plates for the third time that day. Try to be proactive and stay on top of the dishes. If you have a dishwasher, load and run it before bed. If you don’t have a dishwasher, wash the dishes and let them air-dry overnight. There’s a chance that you’ll regret that late-night bowl of cookie dough ice cream, but you won’t regret waking up to a clean sink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1617811040644-DNYNO11SFHBVTWXSYLKU/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200318191035536_COVER_5.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Chores To Do Every Day... - 5. Keep counters clean This job might seem unimportant… until you actually start wiping things down. Then, you begin to discover the salad dressing spills that were camouflaged by your granite countertops or the crumbs that were hidden behind the coffeemaker. Before bed, wipe down your countertops. You’ll wake up to a fresh, clean kitchen, and you’ll be more likely to enjoy a stress-free morning. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/8/26/household-laundry monthly 0.5 2023-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1566833089887-Y8IY1ZIZN18345JGXAXQ/IMG_20190225_080350.jpg Blogs - When to Wash...

Decluttering is a key element in gaining the peace, control, and time that you desire. Getting rid of the items that aren’t adding value to your life will leave more time for the things that do matter. Every possession takes your time and energy—time and energy that could be better spent elsewhere. Minimalism isn’t living without, it’s owning possessions that serve a purpose and add value to your life. Once you’ve purged unwanted items, you’ll more easily be able to create organizing solutions and find ways to simplify tasks and chores. Here are my top 5 time-saving tips to help you simplify your life: 1. Follow the one minute rule. 2. Automate—bill payments, savings account transfers, shipments of household products, reoccurring calendar entries, etc. 3. Schedule—not only events, appointments, and deadlines, but tasks and chores, as well. (I’ll talk more about this later.) 4. Simplify your cleaning routine. 5. Accept help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1562382661846-JQV3IKG8YFW6XBGVR902/stil-ck0i9Dnjtj0-unsplash.jpg Blogs - Time Management for the Overwhelmed - Prioritize If you feel like you are frantically bouncing from one task to the next, evaluate what’s most important. What would you get the most out of accomplishing… Catching up with emails? Cleaning the kitchen? Playing a game with the kids? It’s okay to say ‘no’ to invitations and commitments. It’s okay to prioritize time with your family. Take control of your schedule. Everyone’s priorities will look a little different, and that’s okay—understand and accept what is important to you and your family. Prioritizing allows you to find balance between being productive and giving yourself time to unwind. 1. Make a list of all of your goals and ‘to dos’. This is a brain dump—the order doesn’t matter yet, just get everything down. 2. Label each item based on when it needs to be accomplished—T for today, W for this week, M for this month, Y for this year. 3. Number every item in each category based on importance. You’ll end with a numbered list for each category. Today: 1, 2, 3… This Week: 1, 2, 3... and so on. 4. Start with your top priority each day. It’s tempting to knock out some of the quicker and simpler tasks first, but if you don’t get your number one done, you’re prolonging your sense of accomplishment. At the end of the day, any unfinished tasks can be bumped to the next day. 5. Remember to be flexible. Chances are your priorities will change over time, be sure to evaluate your list and make adjustments as needed. If there’s a task on your to-do list that is continually being put off, how important is it? Could you calendar that task for next week, how about next month? Be realistic about what you need to accomplish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1562378738395-8VU82DXGU9K81CX0VJ1U/Screenshot_20190705-194009.png Blogs - Time Management for the Overwhelmed - Schedule At any given time, I am juggling schedules for four people plus remembering all the things that need to get done—every lightbulb that needs replaced, toy that needs repaired, gifts that need purchased. To-do lists are never ending. Scheduling helps you gain control over the tasks and the feeling of being overwhelmed. Keep your calendar on you at all times. I highly recommend using a calendar app on your phone—it’s the most convenient way to always have access to your schedule. Be sure every event and commitment makes it onto your calendar, but use your calendar to schedule time for housework and well-deserved breaks, too. I use Google calendar to create reminders for all the little things I need to remember like: pick up the dry cleaning, return library books, clean the toilets. I love that Google’s reminders roll over to the next day if not completed. When you do complete the task, just swipe to mark it ‘done’—it’s an immensely satisfying swipe. You can also set reminders and calendar entries to repeat on a schedule—this is a great way to get organized around household chores like changing air filters, replacing batteries in the smoke detectors, and cleaning the gutters. Having everything on your calendar allows you to free your mind of all those events and chores and focus on what needs to get done right now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1562378710369-C7QNQZENO0HH3A0YKFN3/_DSC4707-2.jpg Blogs - Time Management for the Overwhelmed - Relax I’ll admit, sometimes my organizational skills are my downfall—times when I focus too much on crossing items off the to-do list and don’t spend enough time living in the moment. I’m constantly battling between granting myself grace and harping on myself because of something like a load of laundry not getting done. Your busyness does not equal your worth. Having a calendar full of colored rectangles denoting places to go and things to do does not give your life more value. We frequently use the term ‘hustle’—we side-hustle in an attempt to work and earn more, we hustle through our day in an attempt to accomplish more, we are hustling through life. Life moves fast and it’s okay if we aren’t productive every single minute of it. It’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to skip laundry day to take the kids to the park. Take each day as it comes. Give yourself credit for your accomplishments—even if it wasn’t something you crossed off a list! https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/1/24/7-tips-for-organizing-your-kitchen monthly 0.5 2023-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1548466899636-PCA81GVVYKYXIBF7GSSK/IMG_20190125_190857.jpg Blogs - 7 Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen - 1. Rarely Used Items These items vary person to person so use your best judgement when deciding which items fall into this category. For me, this includes my largest stock pot, electric roaster, glass jars, and nice serving dishes. Store small items that fall into this category on the highest shelves of your cabinets. Preserve the eye-level shelves for your most frequently used kitchen items like plates and bowls. If your kitchen, like mine, doesn’t have an abundance of storage space consider storing large, rarely used items outside of the kitchen. There is likely a great place for these items in your pantry, garage, or basement. My stockpot and electric roaster only get used once or twice a year so they are stored on the highest shelves in our pantry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1548467483537-E1J2ZV97YJDGM9DCFOW0/LRM_EXPORT_40181643363253_20190125_184958012.jpg Blogs - 7 Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen - 2. Plastic Containers After removing all plastic containers from their storage space, set aside anything that doesn’t have a matching lid or that you rarely use to be trashed, donated, or repurposed. Personally, I dislike these containers as a food storage option and only have a few left in my kitchen, but you do you! Your keep pile should be neatly stacked from largest to smallest. If you are unable to easily stack the lid under its matching container, utilize one container (maybe one from your discard pile!) to hold the lids uprights so they are easy to flip through when making your selection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1548467620452-TGVDXT5LKL8PT2RUQRD6/IMG_20190125_190605.jpg Blogs - 7 Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen - 3. Cooking Utensils Spread out all of your utensils on the countertop. Woah—right? Start by eliminating any utensils that you don’t use, that are broken, or those that have too many duplicates—no one needs six pancake turners—just keep your favorites. I love the use of a utensil crock for items I use frequently. For the utensils you plan to store in a drawer, use dividers and organizers to keep things easy to find. I love stackable wooden organizers because they give your kitchen a clean, custom look while maximizing storage space. If you want to avoid the extra cost of drawer organizers, any container can work—look through the plastic containers in your discard pile! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1548467669226-46EFKVRY6UBWSNFFDV9G/IMG_20190125_190123.jpg Blogs - 7 Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen - 4. Pots & Pans Pots should be stored with their lid in place. If you put the lid on upside-down, you are able to stack pots on top of one another. If you don’t have enough clearance in your cabinet or drawer to stack this way, go ahead and just stack the pots together, then use another container (remember that pile of plastic containers!) to store the lids upright so you can easily find the one you need. Please note: when storing non-stick pots this way it’s best to use pot protectors or even old dishtowels to protect the cooking surface from damage. If you have space to store your pans vertically, I envy you, utilize that space! If, like me, you need to stack, just remember to keep your most frequently used pans on top. I don’t bake as often as my children would like so my muffin tins and cooling racks live at the bottom of my stack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1548467718922-L2AV08Y3IPRCC364QMS1/IMG_20190125_190357.jpg Blogs - 7 Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen - 5. Spices Start by emptying and wiping out your spice cabinet. Throw out any expired spices or any that you’ve had over 4 years—I know that seems absurd, but those spices have a way of lingering around longer than you think! If you have duplicates, combine them if possible, otherwise store them on a higher shelf until you are ready to make the replacement. For an extra clean look, transfer your spices into clear jars and label with a chalk marker. Utilize a spice rack or tiered spice shelf so that all labels are readable. Some people prefer to use a shallow drawer, which is a great solution if your space allows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1548467754096-R2LNQNI9S59YGTDF6MJX/IMG_20190125_190241.jpg Blogs - 7 Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen - 6. Under the Sink Start by getting everything out from under the sink! Are you sensing a theme here? It’s much easier to sort, organize, and start fresh when you have an empty space in front of you. Only keep items that pertain to the kitchen. The bathroom cleaner should probably go in the bathroom, and lets put the bug spray in the garage or basement. Kitchen related cleaners, dish detergent, and trash bags are all just fine to stay. Typically there’s a lot of height to work with in the under-the-sink cabinet. I use a wire shelf to take advantage of this vertical space. Do you save plastic bags? They can be great for collecting trash in the car, walking the dog, small trash can liners, and much more. I love using baby puff snack containers to keep plastic bags handy (they fit in cupholders!), but you could use an empty baby wipes or cleaning wipes container, or buy a container specifically made for the job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1548467801417-F9RQMA2ZJWS0W4G9G9H7/LRM_EXPORT_40180152341750_20190125_184956521.jpg Blogs - 7 Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen - 7. Countertops Decluttered countertops are the key to a kitchen that looks and feels really clean! My rule: if it’s not used daily it doesn’t need to sit on your countertop. The blender, food processor, and toaster can all be stored within your cabinets. These larger kitchen items fit well inside corner cabinets and Lazy Susan cabinets. Is your kitchen a drop zone for mail or homework? Paperwork can easily clutter up your countertop space. I recommend using a basket to contain papers. A basket is easy to grab when you have the time to properly sort and file the papers—in the meantime, the mess is contained. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/cozyhomelookbook monthly 0.5 2023-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/49b97dde-08aa-4004-958f-7cb394b1f360/faux-bay-leaf-tree-5-xl.jpeg Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/7cb8f967-8a52-4f25-a934-27fb6ed753c8/3.png Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/546c9cc2-a2e5-4b2e-8230-3be186278cea/4.png Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/914f759b-9470-4b9a-ae6f-7cd65c4794fd/5.png Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/bc767425-0696-491c-ae0e-c48a9eeb5d8b/6.png Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/6306f5cf-e9e7-48e7-ae45-dada5fb480de/2010_Boll_and_Branch13554_Stone_Plush_Bath_Towel__1660x1594_FINAL__1_.jpeg Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/c63d034c-bb1b-45e7-a0fc-c631fb612e82/8.png Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/43e22928-42b5-4eb0-9e6d-a8e45d683c09/9.png Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/b3b490b9-6a31-4f77-bd76-bebedbc1b671/10.png Blogs - Cozy Home Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/9/11/how-to-clean-out-and-organize-your-closet monthly 0.5 2023-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568258715653-DAK8V040KM87EBC79FWU/IMG_20190911_163529.jpg Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet - Prep for the Task Grab some hampers, laundry bags, trash bags, boxes, whatever you have on hand to sort items as you clean out… Got em? Now, label them… and the categories are... Trash/Recycle Items that are severely damaged—ripped, stained, or warped—socks, and undergarments. Donate Items that have a little more life to live…but no longer have a purpose in your life. Sell (If desired) Items that are in good to like new condition, are a current style, and are a well-known brand. Pro tip: If you’re doing a big closet purge, I don’t typically recommend selling items. It’s a time consuming process and there’s no guarantee the items are actually going to sell. You’re forced to hold onto the unwanted items longer and they continue to take up your space and time. So before you create a ‘sell’ category, be certain you are up for the task. That said, once you’re to a point of maintaining order—when you’re only purging a couple pieces at a time—selling unwanted items is a great option. Sentimental Items that you are holding onto because they hold a special meaning, but you know you will never wear again. Undecided Items that are difficult to decide whether or not to keep. Don’t get hung up one one specific item, toss it in the undecided pile and keep moving. You’ll find when you go back to address these items later, it will be much easier to make the decision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568216217848-Z4NC4SMCATP7JPCVVNIL/Closet+Clean+Out+%281%29.png Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet - Purge, Edit, and Declutter I recommend starting with drawers—each drawer is like a mini-purging and organizing session, and it’s a great way to get your feet wet. Once you’ve tackled all your drawers—socks, underwear, bras, pajamas, all of them—then move on to your closet. Try items on if needed, but be efficient. Check out my ‘Questions to ask as you edit your closet’ guide to help in the decision making process. Go through each item and put it in its designated pile. If you’re keeping the item re-fold or re-hang and return to its place (We’ll cover the organization a bit later.) This is the most difficult part of the process, and the most likely to cause you to feel overwhelmed and want to walk away. If you think it’d help, have a friend—or trusted organizing professional *wink, wink*—come over to help keep you moving! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568258766175-8KN7CT14KEHYIF46G0B5/00000IMG_00000_BURST20190911164136114_COVER.jpg Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet - Don’t give up… Once you’ve gone though everything, revisit the ‘undecided’ pile and make those last few decisions. If you’re still struggling to choose what should stay and what should go, that’s okay. When in doubt, keep it. Don’t get too hung up on the tough decisions. You can always go back later and get rid of an item if you decide it’s unwanted. Now, let’s talk accessories—shoes, belts, scarves, hats, jewelry, and even purses. This is the ideal time to edit, purge, and organize these items as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568258947738-PLAD6JFLS4JB45DT12F9/IMG_20190911_162710.jpg Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet - Get it Organized Now for the fun part—getting everything put away in a well-organized fashion—No? Just me? Nonetheless, rest assured the hard part—deciding what goes and what stays—is behind you. Here’s how to get the ‘keep’ items organized… Invest in matching hangers. This may sound frivolous, but it allows all your clothing to hang evenly, giving your closet a clean, crisp, and orderly look. Velvet hangers have a slim profile and will free up closet space. If space isn’t a concern, any hanger material will do, as long as they all match. So what about the clothes that get folded?There’s no ‘right’ way to fold clothes, the method you choose will likely depend on the storage space and article of clothing. File folding works really for items like t-shirts, underwear, and scarves, while dry-fit materials stay in place better if rolled. Try out different techniques and find what works best for you and your space. Organize your hanging and folded clothing by category—tanks, tees, long sleeve, sweaters, jackets, dresses, and so on. For an extra organized look, within each category, organize by color—lightest to darkest or vice versa. This may seem tedious, but once you set this method in place, it not difficult to maintain. Use matching bins or baskets to store accessory items—like purses and scarves—and out of season clothing. Keep in mind fabric and wicker bins work well to conceal clutter, while wire or acrylic bins keep your items visible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568258866811-FP7DF3460T4294B3A5FS/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190911154256006_COVER.jpg Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet - Say Goodbye With your closet and drawers organized. It’s time to address the piles that aren’t staying. Trash/Recycle Did you know your old clothing can be recycled? It’s true, but you won’t be able to put textiles in your curbside recycling bin. Search to see if you have a local recycling center that accepts clothing, or head to the mall, American Eagle Outfitters and H&M clothing stores have collection bins for textile waste. Donate A vast majority of your items have likely landed in the donate pile, but it can be an additional chore just to choose a donation center. Here are some ideas: Goodwill Saint Vincent DePaul Salvation Army US’Again Don’t have time to drop off your items? Check out Charity Clothing Pickup. Sell Looking for an alternative to a yard sale? Try selling your items on Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Swap ‘n Sell groups, Poshmark, or other online resale sites. Sentimental Find a storage solution for these items that isn’t taking up space in your closet or dresser. If storing them in a box in the basement or garage isn’t what you had in mind, try thinking outside the box… You could photograph these items to create a photo book or digital album. T-shirts can be turned into a keepsake quilt. You could even frame some of the pieces of clothing to hang as artwork. Get creative, and get these items out of your closet space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568259025615-Z4GJ1RSNCTAXNK9S2HHG/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190911154700569_COVER.jpg Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet - Maintain Order To keep your closet and drawers looking their best… 1. Be consistent. If you are file folding your t-shirts, file fold them every time. If you’re hanging your jeans, hang them every time. You get the idea. 2. Keep clothing picked up and tidy. Follow the one-minute rule, if you can pick it up and put it away in less than one minute, do it immediately. If you have a surface that tends to collect clothing clutter—a chair or piece of workout equipment—try to eliminate that surface from your space. 3. Continually re-evaluate. Have you ever put on a shirt and after 10 minutes or so, you decide you don’t like the way it fits and change?… It’s probably time for that item to go. Have a bin or basket in your closet at all times for items you decide to donate or sell. This makes it easy to maintain a clean and organized closet and allows you to avoid the need for an overwhelming purge session. As the bin gets full, address where those items need to go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568298179717-CHYO16R3BNAED1H9LYYP/Facebook.png Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568298205149-RNC5KUVLJV5BZMPBOCO4/Instagram.png Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1568298260011-6EWHOVCLN8LR5CBO0622/Pinterest.png Blogs - How to Clean Out and Organize Your Closet https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/3/4/simplify-your-wardrobe monthly 0.5 2022-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1583359352701-5GU5L2PUUBQ1BSB2T09G/Untitled+design+%283%29.png Blogs - How to Simplify Your Wardrobe - What is a Capsule Wardrobe? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1583359210327-STFR54C0XSLYCJT11ZF1/Wardrobe+%281%29.png Blogs - How to Simplify Your Wardrobe - What Are the Benefits? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1583359610017-FJZK2YQ07EUCM0TCAGZA/Untitled+design+%285%29.png Blogs - How to Simplify Your Wardrobe - How to Create Your Capsule Wardrobe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1583359482778-HAQD09H2N9L0OVKT8GEQ/Untitled+design+%284%29.png Blogs - How to Simplify Your Wardrobe - What to Do With the Clothes That Don’t Become a Part of Your Capsule Wardrobe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1583359674366-5PJ9D05YIFTDRNIKHD03/Untitled+design+%286%29.png Blogs - How to Simplify Your Wardrobe - Maintaining Your New Wardrobe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1583342738686-EBOBEUN4VI95YVRU9PMJ/Pinterest.png Blogs - How to Simplify Your Wardrobe https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/7/16/5-simple-changes-for-plastic-free-july monthly 0.5 2022-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1614008872731-99300CBEVGVHEM33IBPY/713VhCNa5gL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Changes for Going Low-Waste https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1614008965595-M8GNF1312K99JST25TF7/10078983-borosilicate-food-storage-r.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Changes for Going Low-Waste https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1614008990520-LSQNXRLRNYDQ4ADUZ3KE/10078984-borosilicate-food-storage-r.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Changes for Going Low-Waste https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1614009018757-Q3A9Y94EQUR5L6NY9O5P/10078985-borosilicate-food-storage-r.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Changes for Going Low-Waste https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/d3daa202-ba55-4b3e-9633-671d7ed331bc/31mcu9-dGoL.jpeg Blogs - 5 Simple Changes for Going Low-Waste - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/744bde93-8d70-4f79-a7ca-c16f3364f695/71LcInIp0VL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Changes for Going Low-Waste - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/8c3e901d-19f3-4b04-9fd8-ca762ac4a6f8/Selections+%284%29.png Blogs - 5 Simple Changes for Going Low-Waste - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/2/12/how-to-organize-jewelry monthly 0.5 2022-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1581692690284-ICF8675MKCVAJ2WUDD3V/Jewelry.png Blogs - How to Organize Jewelry - Sort it out Start by laying all of your jewelry on a white towel or sheet so that it’s easy to see and sort the items. Remove items from boxes and packaging. Separate the jewelry and remove any tangles as you go. Sort the items into the following categories: · Keep + Wear · Keep for Sentimental Reasons · Sell and/or Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1581694622817-XLEWATB5AGTEJJP6IS7D/jewelry+%283%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Jewelry - Shine it up While you have all your jewelry laid out, take the time to clean and polish the pieces. A jewelry cleaning cloth works well to quickly remove tarnish. These small cloths can be stored with your jewelry making it easy and convenient to give pieces a shine right before putting them on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1581694586531-MG6UO50RFHEV39Q5MWJE/jewelry+%282%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Jewelry - Get it organized Jewelry boxes and armoires can take up a lot of space, and often don’t offer the best storage options for your specific jewelry. Instead, use a modular system to store jewelry within a dresser or vanity drawer. Stackers Jewelry Trays—available at The Container Store—offer customizable jewelry storage. The trays slide to adjust, ensuring a perfect fit in nearly any drawer. Multiple configurations are available—some with more space for necklaces, others with ring holders—which means you can find a layout that will best fit the jewelry you own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1581700489887-1MO73VGDLDHVDL90WSGI/jewelry+%287%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Jewelry - Keep everything in place Velvet lining helps keep jewelry from shifting as you open and close drawers. To further ensure bracelets and necklaces stay in place and tangle free, cut slits into a piece of card stock to secure chains or thread chains through reusable straws. (Silicone straws are easy to cut to size to get the best fit.) After wearing an item, be sure to put it back in place. It’s well worth the effort to keep your jewelry organized and looking its best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1581694711071-Q5DLVH6T4T352FTSQQQE/jewelry+%284%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Jewelry - Alternatively If you find you cannot give up drawer space for jewelry storage, hanging the items you frequently wear may be the next best option. Cork-boards are a great way to keep jewelry tangle free and easily accessible. I find cork-boards offer more storage space and appear less cluttered than hooks. Use push pins to hold necklaces, bracelets, and even rings. Earrings and pins can be pushed directly into the cork-board. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1581695840965-X6QCLSY8S496UE20FMFZ/jewelry+%285%29.png Blogs - How to Organize Jewelry - Storing Keepsakes Depending on the amount of storage space you have available, you may find that it’s better to store keepsakes separate from the jewelry you plan to wear regularly. Keepsakes can go in a separate drawer or you could display the pieces in a keepsake box. For jewelry that holds a special meaning but just isn’t your style, consider repurposing the pieces. Search for a local jeweler able to create new styles using your existing jewelry. This is also a great way to get more life out of items that are broken or missing pieces. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/7/1/eco-friendly-organizing monthly 0.5 2022-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1593729936643-M9EZAC02X01TFMQYSBHL/4.png Blogs - A Guide to Eco-friendly Organizing - Wood + Wicker ＋ Blanket baskets ＋ Magazine and book storage ＋ Toy storage ＋ Pantry bins ＋ Clothing and accessory storage ✓ Durable ✓ Timeless look ✓ Reusable ✓ Made from natural materials Note: ‘Wicker’ is not actually a material, but the weaving process.

My laundry room doubles as the pantry and isn’t much larger than a closet so it took quite a bit of planning to get the room just right. I’m going to focus on the laundry room section, but if you’re interested in my pantry organization, you can read that post here. You may not be remodeling your laundry room but the method I used to plan our space will be beneficial to planning your own storage. It can be hard to visualize the best use of your space so I recommend drawing things out. Start by listing everything that needs to be stored in the room: laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, mops, rags, sewing kit, etc. Then, draw your cabinets and shelves and start planning the best place for each item on your list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1553696397050-4Y0QYU0O28PASL3JVDOU/IMG_20190326_133906.jpg Blogs - How to Organize a Laundry Room - Evaluate items… that are currently in your laundry room. Some items may make more sense to store in the basement or garage. Get rid of any products that you no longer use or any expired products—that’s right, cleaning products expire! Keep laundry detergents and stain removers at eye level—easy to see and grab. Store stain sticks, laundry bags, and other small items in a basket so they aren’t toppling over or cluttering the shelf. I recently made the switch to wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. I keep them in the dryer all the time. There’s no longer a need for dryer sheets—saving me time, money, and shelf space! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1553689858529-7JEFACC3MLUZ06KBFKFH/IMG_20190326_133848.jpg Blogs - How to Organize a Laundry Room - I hang dry… most of our clothes. My husband is 6’6” so it’s pretty imperative not to risk shrinking his clothes in the dryer. I used to have a standard collapsible drying rack, but it was always in the way and I was constantly moving it around. Inevitably, I would run out of space on my drying rack and just have wet clothes hanging on hangers from door frames. With the redesign we made use of every inch and were able to squeeze in a built-in drying rack. You can check out our system here. It’s one of my favorite things in our home—perhaps I spend too much time doing laundry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1553689878593-G2E6TBC0DSCWCM5F9LFO/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - How to Organize a Laundry Room - Previously… our laundry room had a trash can, recycling bin, laundry basket, and a dog food storage container taking up floor space. Each bin was the same size, had a uniform look, and slid nicely underneath a shelving unit. It looked nice enough and I would recommend the same solution to anyone out there with a similar set-up. However, once I had the opportunity to build-in the storage, I jumped on it. Pull-out ‘trash’ bins keep these items easily accessible while still hidden behind a cabinet door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1553690006263-YNY2OJUMNZ31YTVN093B/IMG_20190326_134246.jpg Blogs - How to Organize a Laundry Room - Cleaning supplies… are often stored in the laundry room. Mops, brooms, and vacuum cleaners can be unsightly stored out in the open. Try finding space to contain these items. I removed all the shelves from one cabinet so mops could stand inside. Store rags, sponges, and other small cleaning supplies within baskets or bins to keep the shelves neat and organized. Set cleaning bottles in a single row so that it’s easy to find what you need and track what you have on hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1553696270955-MGJB3WC319AK980Y8O0C/IMG_20190327_083149.jpg Blogs - How to Organize a Laundry Room - A designated place for everything… will keep the room orderly. If your laundry room collects coats and bags, install hooks. Are shoes piled up on the floor? Add in a shoe tray. Laundry and cleaning supplies aren’t pretty to look at, so ample cabinet space was the focal point of my design. If you have open shelves, organize supplies in matching bins to keep the room looking great. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/5/7/how-to-style-shelves monthly 0.5 2022-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1557263352301-MT2HNWPSL1SQ80AGEI7K/IMG_20190507_160106.jpg Blogs - How to Style Shelves - Rule #1 Less is More Notice the top photo… There are many items all fairly similar in size. The shelf appears cluttered, and it’s difficult to focus on each individual item. Now look at the bottom image… There are fewer, various-sized, color coordinated items. This display has interest, it’s easy to see each item, and there’s just enough negative—empty—space to make the shelf feel roomy. If you have a lot of small decorative pieces, try to space them out over multiple shelves. If you still have too many, move some items to storage. Throughout the year, change out the items to update the look of your shelves. This allows you to enjoy all of your decor without making the space look cluttered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1557264249908-ZJACF9QGDAQLJX056BB6/IMG_20190507_162107.jpg Blogs - How to Style Shelves - Rule #2 Use Baskets to Conceal Use solid baskets or bins to conceal items that aren’t adding decorative value to your shelves. Items like remote controls, charging cords, toys, etc. tend to land on shelves and make them look untidy. Wire baskets may look pretty, but they won’t be able to hide the clutter. Instead, choose baskets or bins that are solid, neutral, and fit in with the style of the room. Concealing the unsightly items ensures that your decorative pieces will stand-out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1557270211648-T1JY31SW41KUM5ZXBW3C/Untitled+design+%283%29+%281%29.png Blogs - How to Style Shelves - Rule #3 Group in Odd Numbers Items grouped in odd numbers tend to be more visually appealing than those grouped in even numbers. If you think this sounds crazy, take a close look at these pictures. The displays with an odd number of books grouped with decorative pieces, adding up to an odd number of total objects, make more attractive arrangements. Look again and count, I’ll wait… The even-numbered displays tend to look more boxy and bland, right? If the overall shape of your display looks triangular, not square, it will be eye-catching. This is what designers call a visual triangle. Can you see the right triangle formed by the jug, stack of books, and bowl? (Sorry to make you use geometry there!) Arrange items of varying height to create a visual triangle on a single shelf. To help achieve this illusion, use stacks of books, candle holders, or pedestals to raise smaller decorative pieces, when needed. Plate holders work well to give picture frames additional height. There are endless ways to arrange decor to achieve this eye-catching trick. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1600803854748-QBLYT3QUTC7K14PZ2QL8/Untitled%252Bdesign%252B%2525284%252529.jpg Blogs - How to Style Shelves - Rule #4 Create (More) Visual Triangles Previously, I showed you how to make a visual triangle arranging decorative items on a single shelf. It’s also important to create visual triangles for the bookcase or shelving unit as a whole. I used visual triangles to balance the colors of the items in my display—even though most of my display is light and neutral, items would look out of place if not spaced properly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1557258942667-UBECF9TTMFCCY5V31T10/IMG_20190507_142550.jpg Blogs - How to Style Shelves - Rule #5 Let your Style Show Notice the difference between the shelves in our family room—neutral color palette—versus the shelves in our home office—packed full of color. Neither one is really better than the other, it’s a matter of personal style. The family room shelves create a calm and airy space. The bold book display in the office brings a bright cheerfulness to our workspace. The color of my books often dictates which room they wind up in, but if you look closely you can see in the family room, I often turn books backwards to help maintain the neutral color palette. Rearrange the configuration of your books and decorative pieces to find a style that best fits you and your home. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2021/8/15/5-must-haves-for-your-kids-bedrooms monthly 0.5 2021-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1629121218176-HG55Y0OZWXR5TE8IPOGV/Blog+Images.png Blogs - 5 Must-Haves for Your Kids' Bedrooms - 1. Oversized Bins Oversized fabric bins are excellent for storing big, clunky items like toys and stuffed animals. They can also be used as a hamper to hide all of your child’s dirty laundry. You name it, these bins can contain it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1629122017865-8JUVIMX2LH7ZLYC841J1/kendall-nightstand-2-o.jpeg Blogs - 5 Must-Haves for Your Kids' Bedrooms - 2. Bedside Table... with storage! A nightstand with storage makes a huge difference when it comes to reducing bedroom clutter. Bedside tables can hold anything from flashlights and charging cords to books and small toys. This convenient storage space allows your child to quickly stash items before turning off the lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1629121825593-K9V8WCS7BQIAWB97K9PI/61ShKV5qBVL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Blogs - 5 Must-Haves for Your Kids' Bedrooms - 3. Shoe Shelves Shoe shelves can be placed on the closet floor to create a designated space for shoes. Providing this storage will—hopefully—keep the shoes from piling up in front of the door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1629124111813-DBZO8PIHG3WRVOVDVXPK/Blog+Images+%281%29.png Blogs - 5 Must-Haves for Your Kids' Bedrooms - 4. Drawer Dividers Do you want to simplify your morning routine and avoid hunting around for that missing sock or shirt? Drawer dividers are your solution! Kids’ clothes are small and easily get jumbled in big dresser drawers. Drawer dividers help keep everything neatly tucked in place and easy to find. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1629122441731-UR0GQZ0L19BJHMGGWSEX/IMG_20200506_122114.jpg Blogs - 5 Must-Haves for Your Kids' Bedrooms - 5. Storage Bags These space-saving bags can be neatly stored in the closet or underneath the bed, and they hold an impressive amount of blankets and clothing. Stuff one full of quilts, lovies, snuggies, and all the other blankets your kids can't live without. These also work great for storing out-of-season or soon-to-be-grown-into clothing, freeing up closet and dresser drawer space. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2021/8/4/fall-decor-lookbook monthly 0.5 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628166883178-X3R868YMSTRHMOAC5N04/Product+Images.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168066784-JA1T2823MQNHTCKTCL5H/81eljUcWquS._AC_SL1500_.jpg Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628167554255-JH8994FNLQZ588445G6D/Product+Images+%281%29.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168011391-VUOTNY6KUZJ1IMT5LGYO/Product+Images+%284%29.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628167165998-U0860XZNCDZ92118L26C/Fernanda%2BTV%2BStand%2Bfor%2BTVs%2Bup%2Bto%2B65_.jpeg Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628167768280-O1YHX5U3HN8VDW32NX9K/Product+Images+%282%29.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628167029516-5J8ZUCWHV6TRPRTNLH6W/81BzTxePbOL._SL1500_.jpg Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628166596510-E3LPZITPUUAWWJ9AECNX/Daanya_2000x.jpeg Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168696506-YR3XQOJWQJVWO6JZCFSE/Screen+Shot+2021-08-05+at+8.03.27+AM.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168314167-PVDVG282YA2IYA424CHK/mini-pebble-wool-jute-rug-natural-ivory-z.jpeg Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168225766-OPH50HFCFEV2TIA0XJ2D/img69o.jpeg Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168167558-T85X596R76Q2XGU2ZV0M/Product+Images+%285%29.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628167922283-RGKYFR6BZY60S91V8XC1/Product+Images+%283%29.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168838405-948GRZ5EO92OKODGS0MB/Screen+Shot+2021-08-05+at+8.06.25+AM.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1628168505826-QHLD2GMHL33NVQHAW4QF/Product+Images+%286%29.png Blogs - Fall Decor Lookbook - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/how-to-decorate-a-modern-minimalist-home monthly 0.5 2021-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1623076110984-8IE2TBPH6MJW07O394MY/paint+colors.jpeg Blogs - How to Decorate a Modern Minimalist Home - Color The best way to achieve a fresh, minimalistic feel in your home is with a neutral color palette. Light, warm shades of gray and beige have a calming effect that can make your space feel open, yet cozy. White walls are gaining in popularity but choose your white carefully. A little tint to the white will ensure your family room doesn’t end up looking like an operating room. Other large items, such as upholstered furniture and window treatments, work best in neutral colors to help your space look crisp and clean. Need a pop of color? Use items like throw pillows and artwork to add a bit of color and personality to your minimalistic home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1623392485991-UP30NW3RCXNSKWZTW1HM/5.png Blogs - How to Decorate a Modern Minimalist Home - Texture Since minimalist design features a muted color palette, textures are a great way to make a space feel warm and inviting without adding clutter. Rugs, throw pillows, blankets, and wicker baskets instantly make your home feel more cozy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1623391691169-ABHR313BSBJGZTSCGMUL/1.png Blogs - How to Decorate a Modern Minimalist Home - Patterns Patterns are a great way to add visual interest to a room. Patterns can be incorporated in items like artwork, throw pillows, and rugs. When selecting patterns, choose prints that appeal to you and your personal style. To keep things from looking too “busy” keep the colors muted and consistent. A monochromic space helps achieve a calm and airy feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1623392716956-OQRR529MC9SFQL5975WD/1.jpg Blogs - How to Decorate a Modern Minimalist Home - Nature Natural elements will make any space feel more inviting, so “naturally,” you should add some into your home. Wood is a perfect complement to minimalist design. Its natural texture and color will add warmth to any space. Accent tables, photo frames, and decorative trays are all great ways to bring in natural wood tones. Plants are essential to minimalist decor. Real or faux, plants give a pop of color and are perfect for softening the look of a minimally-styled room. Add a succulent to your side table. Place an olive tree in a belly basket and set it in the corner of the room. Tuck a philodendron on the bookcase and let its vines cascade down the shelves. Plants give a fresh, airy look to any space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1623392154290-QLQ1SWOVSMCLC40WMRXK/unsplash-image-boR7SuyzB7Q.jpg Blogs - How to Decorate a Modern Minimalist Home - Decor The key to keeping your space minimalistic and tidy is to decorate with items that provide a purpose. Books, trays, baskets, photos, mirrors, candles, vases, decorative bowls, accent pillows, and throws all serve as functional home decor. Choose decorative pieces that have meaning to you—perch a collection of your favorite books on a shelf, have a cherished photo printed to create a piece of art, use a vintage bowl or tray to catch keys and sunglasses in the entryway. All of these items will make your space feel homey. Because they are a reflection of YOU, they are guaranteed to make you feel comfortable and happy in your minimalist space. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/9/10/7-steps-to-becoming-a-minimalist monthly 0.5 2020-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599742547012-8YSVV9AMN2F260IP285Z/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - 7 Steps to Becoming a Minimalist - Step 1. Prioritize Make a list of the things that are important to you. How do you enjoy spending your time? What are your goals? What do you value? What does your ideal day look like? Once you have a list, you’ll be able to better plan how to best use your time. Prioritizing tasks and goals will help you create balance in your schedule so you have more time for the things that mean the most to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599742739319-84T7KBPNY41YEAQI3FWQ/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - 7 Steps to Becoming a Minimalist - Step 2. Plan Our schedules are often our biggest stressor. Planning your day will help you feel in control of all that you need and want to get accomplished. It’s important to have long term goals, but it’s also important to set daily goals for ourselves. Create and complete to do lists, being realistic about what you can and need to get done each day. Don’t just list chores and tasks, include your hobbies, time with family, exercise goals—everything! With everything accounted for on a list, you’ll have less mental clutter and you’ll be able to better focus on what needs to get done next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599743219255-Z7EY49NHA5NKIVI4MOIG/sarah-dorweiler-fr0J5-GIVyg-unsplash.jpg Blogs - 7 Steps to Becoming a Minimalist - Step 3. Declutter Decluttering is key to create more time and peace in your life. Start by editing out unnecessary and duplicate items. You can set aside 10 minutes each day, or schedule to declutter one room each week, whatever works for you. Be consistent, and you’ll soon see the benefits of removing the excess from your home. Start with the items that are easy to let go, items that you know you don’t want, things that are broken and can’t be repaired, things you know you won’t miss. If you need some ideas, check out my Declutter Checklist. Decluttering isn’t a one-and-done job. Since our needs are always changing and there are always new items coming into our homes, you need to continually evaluate want is truly needed. Don’t let that overwhelm you, decluttering gets easier the more you do it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599746154197-SHVA1I2PY7LYOSAJXHUL/IMG_20200106_135708.jpg Blogs - 7 Steps to Becoming a Minimalist - Step 4. Organize Creating order in your home will give you more mental clarity. Once you’ve purged unwanted items, create organizing solutions that work for you. If you’re not sure which organizing methods will best fit your lifestyle, take my What’s Your Organizing Style quiz. It can help you determine storage solutions that would be the easiest for you to maintain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599757285855-ZL0OCR6H2709PJ9HJTT0/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - 7 Steps to Becoming a Minimalist - Step 5. Simplify Find ways to simplify tasks and chores. Now I know this is easier said than done. Think about all the things that fall on your plate. Can you delegate some of those tasks to save time? Maybe the whole family can pitch in with cleaning and laundry. Perhaps you can hire a cleaning company or a lawn mowing service. Automate as much as you possibly can. Set up automatic bill payments and savings account transfers. Take advantage of subscription services for frequently used household products and grocery items. Schedule repeating calendar entries and reminders for reoccurring events, tasks, and appointments. Follow the One Minute Rule—immediately do any task that you can complete within one minute. Doing the quick tasks as they arise will ultimately save you time and give you peace of mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599746601111-JNGL5568R4RHDEW5MWEO/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - 7 Steps to Becoming a Minimalist - Step 6. Focus It’s okay to say ‘no’ to invitations and events. Go ahead and read that again. Be assertive when taking control of your schedule. Additionally, avoid saying ‘maybe’ when the answer is simply ‘no’. Not committing to a decision is mental clutter. We allow the question to linger in our mind, even if we know the real answer. Alternatively, it’s okay to say yes! Don’t feel guilty about doing things, especially when they fall in line with your priorities and values—a coffee date with a friend, and weekend getaway, taking a break to play a game with your kids. Focus on your priorities. Having a clear understanding of where your attention needs to be and taking control of your schedule is what will give you that feeling of balance and contentment in your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599745721996-7YH7BI42KDZ5DACHPYUV/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - 7 Steps to Becoming a Minimalist - Step 7. Reflect So we’ve covered the ways to save time so that you can accomplish more, not just more work and chores, but more in life—time to pursue your passions and hobbies, time to spend with your family and friends. Take a look at the priority list you created in step one. What’s important to you? Where do you want to devote more time? Be sure to give yourself credit for all of your accomplishments, whether it’s the source of your income or the source of your happiness. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/minimalism-misconceptions-vs-reality monthly 0.5 2021-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599589609141-J3YB5VW3J0PQMG9FSHBP/Instagram%2BFrame%2B%25283%2529.jpg Blogs - Minimalism: Misconceptions vs. Reality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1599574722698-PTRWH09Q24C3V7QUHNNM/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - Minimalism: Misconceptions vs. Reality https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/6/23/cleaning-cards monthly 0.5 2024-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1592970893793-6HJS912TMHN7D0TWAW5Z/IMG_20200623_105007.jpg Blogs - Printable Cleaning Cards The idea is that you create a detailed checklist of each cleaning task for every room in your home. Some people use index cards to create their cleaning card deck. Sounds like a lot of work, am I right? No worries, I’ve done this step for you! The cleaning card system allows you to keep track of which cleaning tasks should take priority. Maybe you complete one card a day, one every other day, or 5 each Saturday—do whatever works for you! Once you complete a card, simply flip to the next. You’ll rotate through the deck to ensure that each room of the house is throughly cleaned before restarting the cycle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1592945557882-C2SFTHYCLN7QX54IX31L/IMG_20200623_104646+%281%29.jpg Blogs - Printable Cleaning Cards You’ll start by printing the cleaning cards. You might want to print on cardstock to help the cards last longer. The first few pages of my cleaning card deck are rooms that just about everyone will have in their home, while the last few are optional to print based on your home—4th bedroom, 2nd half bath, bonus room. The last page is a blank cleaning card template. Print this page if you’d like to add additional ‘rooms’ to your cleaning card deck. Alternatively, you can choose to only print this last page and completely customize your own checklists for each room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1592945316456-YN16CB91XUUUFVFH7BNL/IMG_20200623_111539.jpg Blogs - Printable Cleaning Cards I left blank space on each checklist so you can add any additional chores that you wish. I’ve also left a space to write in how long cleaning each room typically takes. If you’re short on time, simply flip to a room that is faster to clean! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1592945200471-UEL2XU6NH0F75WAV8E83/IMG_20200623_105333.jpg Blogs - Printable Cleaning Cards Next, you’ll need to cut out your cleaning cards. There are dotted lines to cut along to ensure all your cards form a nice and neat stack. Laminating the cards will protect them from cleaners and splashes. It will also allow you to use a dry-erase marker to check the items off your list as you clean. You can have this done at your local library, office supply store, or at home with laminating sheets. Be sure to cut out the cards first so all the edges are sealed! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1592947232596-8DCE5MCLQ9RBUYECORS9/cleaning+cards.png Blogs - Printable Cleaning Cards Here are some ideas for storing your cards: Use a binder clip to keep the cards together. You can clip the deck right onto the side of a cleaning caddy or put the clip on the bottom of the deck to stand them upright. Hole punch the top left-hand corner of each card and slide onto a binder ring. You can clip the binder ring right onto your cleaning caddy or slip it onto a hook near your cleaning supplies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1593091370047-N8KYR0730ND3P51QO4JB/IMG_20200623_110725.jpg Blogs - Printable Cleaning Cards Having a detailed checklist makes it easy to get the whole family involved. Everyone will know exactly what needs to get cleaned in each room and can work together to get the job done faster. If you have young kids, try highlighting a few tasks from each room that they can be in charge of—cleaning baseboards is a great job for the littles! Using this system makes it simple for everyone to get involved in maintaining a clean home—yay for teaching some valuable life skills! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1974b6e5-ff4f-41e4-a2b8-9efe93ce19b1/IG+Square+Cleaning+Products+%2814%29.png Blogs - Printable Cleaning Cards - Our Favorite Cleaning Products https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/4/27/the-book-lovers-guide-to-organizing-books monthly 0.5 2020-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1588085048074-CY5DSPVGMF9VLENPWEZ5/IMG_20200428_081659+%282%29.jpg Blogs - The Book Lover’s Guide to Organizing Books - Where do all the books go? I’m a firm believer in having books in every room of the house. Why not surround yourself with the things you love? Storing books throughout your home is a great way to create ample space for your entire collection. Categorize your books by room to create order—biographies and business in the home office, travel books in the guest room, cookbooks in the kitchen, pantry, or dining room, fiction in the family room, kids books in the playroom, you get the idea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1588083964934-GFZDZ0A62QODF0AZAIO3/IMG_20200426_141712.jpg Blogs - The Book Lover’s Guide to Organizing Books - How should books be organized? When storing books in multiple rooms sorting by genre may just be enough to keep track of what you own. For large collections, you only have to look as far as your local library to find a tried and true method for keeping order in the stacks. Sort first by genre, then alphabetically. If you really know your books, you can alphabetize them by author’s last name, but you may find it easier to sort by title—skipping first words like A and The. One exception to make is when you have a series of books—sort them by the series title or author, then chronologically. Sorting books by color is another effective way to achieve an orderly look, and you may be surprised at how well you remember a book by the color of its cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1588044008904-A22WWY9OH9NN00B5UUQG/bookcart.png Blogs - The Book Lover’s Guide to Organizing Books - What about the books I haven’t read yet? Keep your ‘to be read’ titles easy to find amongst all your other books. Designate a shelf—or three—for those books, then put them in their proper place once they’ve been read. Alternatively, you could store your ‘to be read’ books on their appropriate shelves, but lay them horizontally in a stack to differentiate from the books you’ve finished. Another stylish way to keep these books separate is with a book cart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1588079251039-GB0QG0P5MP3E1S4RBCBE/IMG_20200426_183944.jpg Blogs - The Book Lover’s Guide to Organizing Books - Can you have too many books? While this post isn’t about encouraging you to purge your books, there are likely some titles that aren’t worthy of keeping. You could sell or donate the unwanted books, or consider compiling these books in a basket or on a shelf for friends, family, and visitors to take what appeals to them without the pressure of returning it. If you still have more books than shelf space, store seasonal books along with seasonal decor—The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, The Greatest Gift, and The Christmas Cookie Cookbook, with the Christmas decor, The Shining and Practical Magic with the fall decorations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1588084004759-57HEPPUFRPJ61WP95HT7/IMG_20200426_142011+%281%29.jpg Blogs - The Book Lover’s Guide to Organizing Books - Can shelves be functional and stylish? Be sure to display your books in a way that is not only functional, but looks great and reflects your personal style. Here are some things to keep in mind... Don’t push books all the way against the back of your shelving—place them close to the front of each shelf to create a clean, flush line. Not only will your books look tidy, but it will be easier to read the spines. Keep books with similar heights together, or arrange from tallest to shortest. Laying some books in horizontal stacks adds visual interest to your shelves. Baskets can be used to conceal books you’d rather not have on display. Once your books are sorted and in place, add in decorative elements as your shelf space allows—framed photos, small plants, and accent pieces.

There are numerous apps that can help you keep track of your library digitally—Bookpedia, LibraryThing, Goodreads, Libib, just to name a few. These apps make it easy to list the books you own, note what you’ve read, leave a rating, add books to wish lists, quickly search your library to avoid buying duplicates, and some can even keep track of books you lend out. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/guide-for-decluttering-beauty-products monthly 0.5 2021-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1586376684120-WM0P7ULS0NC0AUPNX319/IMG_20200407_163933.jpg Blogs - A Guide for Decluttering Beauty Products - Gather Your Products Gather all your beauty products in one place, like a countertop or on an old sheet or towel on the floor. Compiling all your products in one place allows to you see just how much you have and where you have duplicates, making it easier to decide what stays and what goes. Depending on just how much you own, you may want to start with your makeup, then once finished, move on to lotions and bath products, then hair products, and so on, breaking up the task into manageable sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1586376456389-0B65ZBL91OK6ZLOJ12D7/expiration.jpg Blogs - A Guide for Decluttering Beauty Products - Toss Expired Products Start simple by getting rid of anything that is expired. Some products may have expiration dates printed on them, but many don’t. Take a look at the back or bottom of each container, there is likely a cap symbol with a number followed by the letter M. 12M means the product is good for 12 months. You may need to do a little detective work to find which products need to be tossed, but the general rule is: if you can’t remember when you bought it, it’s probably time to toss it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1586376376317-MF7ZRFEW31T2UP751S4P/IMG_20200407_165435.jpg Blogs - A Guide for Decluttering Beauty Products - Get Rid of Items You Don’t Use Beauty products are expensive, so I know this step can be a bit gut wrenching. Try to put the cost aside and be real with yourself about the products you are going to use. Would you buy it again? Would you recommend it to a friend? I know that foundation cost a lot of money, but if you don’t like the way it cakes under your eyes, you’re never going to wear it. If you have no intention of using something or it doesn’t work as promised, don’t be guilted into keeping it.

Go ahead and make a shopping list. Carefully consider how necessary each product is before adding it to your list. If that night cream reached it’s expiration before you used up the bottle, do you really need to replace it? If you love shopping for beauty products, that’s okay, you don’t have to stop, just be more intentional about the products you choose to bring home. Do your research to make sure you’re purchasing high quality products that you love. That may mean a quick google search when you’re at the beauty counter, or a text to a few friends for recommendations. Only owning products you love and using up the products you have on hand before buying a replacement will result in less guilt and less waste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1586376638326-HKRWKF7KQ06IYMB7VTG2/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200407163341574_COVER.jpg Blogs - A Guide for Decluttering Beauty Products - Clean up Keeping your beauty products and supplies clean will make getting ready quicker and more enjoyable.

Use bins or drawer organizers to sort the items you are keeping into drawers and cabinets. Sort items into categories: hair products, nail care, everyday beauty products, ‘sometimes makeup’ (like that red lipstick, or the pink eyeshadow), and back stock (a second tube of favorite mascara, and a backup foundation). You may also want to create a separate bin for travel-sized items to simplify packing. Keeping a clear, clutter-free bathroom counter will reduce stress and frustration, and make getting ready and cleaning much easier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1586390596186-K0BJ57FWC1DGM934XY8O/cleaning+%2B+Organizing+Playlist.png Blogs - A Guide for Decluttering Beauty Products - Now on Spotify Feel-good music to keep you motivated and moving. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2020/2/3/5-tips-for-playroom-organization monthly 0.5 2020-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1580921587600-TB4JUGREZP7PGY4IYWJB/Playroom.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Playroom Organization - Tip 1: Purge + Declutter If the toy clutter is causing you stress, there’s likely a need to purge unwanted, broken, and outgrown toys. Include kids in the process of decluttering as much as possible, even if that means they’re just sitting on the floor playing while you do all the work. It’s important to show your kids how to be mindful of their possessions. Start by gathering all the toys in one place to sort and determine which items to purge. If at any point your kids become overwhelmed by this process, that’s okay, be encouraging, affirm that it’s okay to feel frustrated, and take lots of breaks (cookies optional). As adults, we may find Marie Kondo’s practice of thanking our possessions before we donate them a bit silly, but I have found that this works really well for young children. So if they have a toy they don’t play with anymore, have them tell it, “thank you for all the fun times, but now it’s time for you to get a new kid.” Any progress is a victory, whether that’s finding two things to donate or ten. If there’s an item they really want to hold onto, even if you feel it’s something they no longer need, let them keep it and reassess the next time you declutter. Kid or adult, decluttering becomes easier as you go. I always recommend starting with the easy items to give your child (and you) a sense of accomplishment and ease right out of the gate. Once they make it to the tougher items, they’ll make better, quicker decisions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1580754641995-OKHFO5ZHICHICVAVZIC9/IMG_20190312_130955.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Playroom Organization - Tip 2: Create Zones With young children it’s pretty common to have toys in just about every room of the house. The problem arises when the toys are scattered throughout the house in no particular order. Let’s say your child wants to play with his toy cars… he may have some cars in the playroom, some in the family room, and more in his bedroom. He’s going to get frustrated and loose interest pretty quickly if he can’t find the cars he wants or if he has to go room-to-room to collect the cars before he can start to play. It absolutely makes sense at this stage of life to have toys in more than one place. In order to control the chaos, create play zones. Perhaps all the kitchen and food toys go in the kitchen so the kids can play while you cook, maybe the cars and trucks go in the family room because the kids like to drive them on that rug, or the dolls go in the basement because that’s where the dollhouse is set up. Create zones that work with your child’s toys and play habits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1580921365452-MWK4TZDBC8F9TBWY0SJY/IMG_20190219_083532%2B%25282%2529.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Playroom Organization - Tip 3: Contain the Big Stuff Large toys—play sets, ride-ons, push toys, etc.—are often just left out on the floor because they are awkward to store. Toys lining the walls and littering the floor are likely making your space look messy, even if the other toys are picked up. Use oversized bins and storage ottomans to conceal large, bulky toys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1580755013810-F80L81MYWEP42WU4JRQ0/IMG_20191107_135324.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Playroom Organization - Tip 4: Sort the Little Stuff Sort small toys by type so that all cars are in one bin, dolls in another, blocks in yet another, and so on. Choose bins that are the proper size for the toys you are containing. Small toys will easily sift to the bottom of a large toy bin and be lost or forgotten. Sorting them into smaller bins will help kids be able to quickly find what they want to play with. Label the bins, or attach a photo or drawing of what belongs in each bin. Kids will know exactly where everything belongs and be encouraged to clean up once they are done playing (hopefully, without you having to nag). Cube storage, bookcases, cabinets, and even entertainment centers are all great storage options for the smaller toys contained within bins. Choose storage methods that fit in with the look of you home, so that the space can more easily adapt as children grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1580921487867-40YRPGNJIGH0RYXGWLVW/IMG_20190721_135906.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Playroom Organization - Tip 5: Maintain Order Having the whole family involved in the organizing process, means everyone should have a pretty clear understanding of the goal to keep the space tidy. Everything should have a designated space. Labeling bins for smaller items will make clean up quicker and easier. Ideally you would purge and donate toys regularly so that the overall amount stays about the same. That said, holidays and birthdays will no doubt bring along more toys and you may not always get the chance to declutter before those occasions. Allow space for the toy collection to grow—a little extra space in the bins and a little elbow room on the shelving. With organizational systems in place one could hope the kids would be better at keeping it tidy on their own—but don’t hold your breath. Set aside time to work together to quickly tidy play spaces. Turn on an upbeat song and see if everyone can work together to get the toys picked up before the song ends, or assign everyone a number of toys to pick up and have them count out loud as they go. Keep it quick and fun. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/11/1/kids-declutter-challenge monthly 0.5 2020-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1573151751961-8S5Q6DKR8EZ9S1HO6U4C/Decluttering+Chart+for+Kids.png Blogs - 5 Day Declutter Challenge...for Kids! https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/10/15/shoe-storage-solutions monthly 0.5 2019-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1571848319976-QBII4GHPF7CMX02ANS35/IMG_20191023_111252.jpg Blogs - Entryway Storage Solutions... for Shoes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1571579935681-9NKM1CA263WFKUYX9RN2/Screen+Shot+2019-10-17+at+4.07.30+PM.png Blogs - Entryway Storage Solutions... for Shoes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1571869594964-5S667HJQ7FVKKF9C0G15/IMG_20191023_164252.jpg Blogs - Entryway Storage Solutions... for Shoes - So what do I use to keep my entryway free of shoe clutter? ⠀ ⠀shoe cabinet + boot tray https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/8/17/family-room-storage-solutions monthly 0.5 2020-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1566232335955-E8G3SWBYKW0VKP3BN8MS/IMG_20190504_094633.jpg Blogs - Family Room Storage Solutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1566232351200-IFMZRKUILTGI0PY2B93K/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190819101744885_COVER.jpg Blogs - Family Room Storage Solutions https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/8/12/how-to-get-organized-for-back-to-school monthly 0.5 2019-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1565724632759-0KTG4611FMNK63IETRIJ/IMG_20190813_133905.jpg Blogs - How to Get Organized for Back to School - Create Whine Free Mornings My kids are not morning people. While I often have to drag my kids from their beds, I have found that keeping the morning essentials as convenient as possible helps us get through the chore of getting ready with fewer complaints. We live in a two-story home, getting my kids back upstairs after breakfast to finish getting ready resulted in a lot of grumbles. [And, trying to get them completely ready before breakfast is out of the question.] Store extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, and hair styling supplies in the nearest bathroom so they don’t have to go far to complete the chore. Stash extra socks in a basket or bin near their shoes. Keep everything close by, and keep everyone moving in the right direction—out the door! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1565724299715-JTBVAHO07YP51Y295EMJ/IMG_20190813_135234.jpg Blogs - How to Get Organized for Back to School - Create a Lunch Plan It really bothers me when my kids complain about the food I make—it irks me even more when I open up their lunch-boxes after school and see they barely ate anything. How have I reduced the complaints about packed lunches and increased the amount of food my kids consume? I have them make a list of ‘Lunch Ideas’—make sure they list at least a couple options for each food group. If you don’t feel like they can handle coming up with their own menu, make a list of options and have them circle their favorites. Use the list as a guide as you pack their lunch. They have a harder time complaining about the meal if it was their idea. To further simplify the dreaded task of packing a lunch, I recommend using a PlanetBox lunchbox. The PlanetBox is a single stainless steal container consisting of separate compartments that make it easy to pack the appropriate portion of each food group. There’s no need for plastic baggies, Saran wrap, or plastic containers. My son has been using the same PlanetBox for five years now, so it's no surprise I made the investment for my daughter starting preschool this year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1565723910127-ZCPKGWGG1NW27HIQM9Q1/IMG_20190813_135959.jpg Blogs - How to Get Organized for Back to School - Create an After School Routine Creating a consistent routine will allow your kids to know what's expected of them without having to nag. Our routine consists of outside playtime right after school, snack, homework, then free-time for as long as they have before dinner and extracurricular activities begin—the more efficient they get through homework, the more freedom they have to do what they want. Keep homework supplies at the ready to avoid any delays. Despite having a desk in their bedrooms and the playroom, most homework is done at the kitchen counter. I keep pencils, scissors, and crayons handy in a nearby drawer the kids can easily access on their own. Occasionally, errands or appointments keep us from going straight home, so I keep a homework kit right in the car. We have a clipboard that slides open to hold extra paper, pencils, and homework supplies so we can stay on top of our routine, even on the go. Avoid the unorganized drop zone and be sure to have a designated space in your home for lunch-boxes, backpacks, shoes, and jackets. Make sure your kids know part of the after school routine is getting their belongings in order for the next day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1565725446648-XMCIDHXBJFK0I18O4697/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190813143635322_COVER.jpg Blogs - How to Get Organized for Back to School - Create a Paperwork System I go through kids' backpacks every day after school, typically while they are working on homework, and sort through the papers. Any permission slips or forms that need returned to the school, I complete immediately and place right back in the backpack to avoid paperwork from piling up and getting misplaced. Graded assignments get hole-punched and stored in a schoolwork binder—older kids can complete this task on their own. At the end of the school year, we sit down together and pick out the assignments that we want to keep—usually the ones that include a drawing or a writing assignment. You may choose to go digital and photograph or scan the keepsake assignments and create a digital ‘yearbook’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1565755930108-D5L0BLKT5AGDVHX39CO2/Soccer.png Blogs - How to Get Organized for Back to School - Create a Family Calendar As you receive the school calendar and sports schedules get each event on your calendar. This can be a tedious task—more time consuming the more children you have—but it’s so important to take the time to get this chore done so you’re not scrambling last minute, or even worse, missing events all together. Schedule the time to sit down and complete this task—glass of wine optional. FYI, many third party scheduling apps used by sports teams and schools can be automatically synced to your google or iCalendar. This is a quick way to get everything transferred to the family calendar and be assured if there are schedule changes the events will automatically update. Get organized by creating a new calendar for each member of the family, giving each person their own unique color. All of your calendars can be displayed together on one calendar screen, but it only takes a quick glance to see who has something to do. I share my entire calendar with my husband. If your kids are older, you may wish to share their personal calendar with them—this is a great way to teach time management and responsibility. Much like I use my personal calendar to set reminders for chores and tasks, I use my kids’ calendars to schedule reminders for projects and tests. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/7/22/organizing-art-and-craft-supplies monthly 0.5 2020-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1564063662459-UFYJWO4E4HPM0SSAFKTS/IG1.jpg Blogs - Organizing Art and Craft Supplies - Gather the Supplies If your art and craft supplies are scattered in multiple places throughout your home, just trying to get started on a project is going to be a headache. You’ll be running to get the paper from the office, the markers from your kid’s room, the glue from the junk drawer—you get the idea. Collect all the art and craft materials from around the house. Our goal is to get everything organized in one space. When the time comes to get crafty, you shouldn’t have to run around in search of the supplies. Craft projects have a way of trying our patience even under good circumstances—don’t start off on the wrong foot with disorganized and hard to find materials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1564063470648-3BNUZD9YGF43VCNR4L56/IMG_20190725_082511.jpg Blogs - Organizing Art and Craft Supplies - Plan the Storage Space You’ve gathered the supplies and now you have to make them all fit together in one space. Let’s determine what that means for you… Where are you most often crafting… The kitchen table? Your home office? Have a craft room? Ideally, where do you want the mess of an art project? Find a location to store your supplies that’s close to where you’ll be using the materials. It took some trial and error for me to find the right space to fit all of our art and craft supplies while still keeping the items accessible. Before settling on a cabinet system in the playroom, we had some items in the second floor office and some in the basement playroom. My kids had me running all over the house just to collect all the materials for a single project—leaving me feeling like an underpaid assistant to a couple of starving artists. It could be a closet, cabinet, bookcase, even an old chest of drawers. Create a designated space for all your crafting supplies near your preferred workspace. That way, you’ll know right where to go when creativity sparks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1564063570528-D20BYMOT65X9276G2O58/IMG_20190725_083940.jpg Blogs - Organizing Art and Craft Supplies - Sort + Organize It’s time to sort out your supplies. Categorize your materials and put like items together. I remove most items from their original packaging to save space and create a cleaner look. Your space will likely determine the storage methods you choose, but here are some tips for getting everything in order… Shallow storage drawers work well for storing paper, sticker sheets and decals, stencils, glue, craft paint, paint brushes, and so much more. Upright magazines holders and paper trays are also great for storing paper—making it easy to grab what you need without disrupting an entire stack. They keep small amounts of fabric and felt visible and accessible. They even work well for keeping coloring books, activity books, and crafting magazines neatly organized. Jars or small bins are best for items like beads, pom-pom balls, writing and drawing utensils, and scissors. Assess the materials that need contained and choose the storage method that best fits your designated space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1564063506484-YFLVYNQWH4XIFA56PYI9/IMG_20190725_084020.jpg Blogs - Organizing Art and Craft Supplies - Label I recommend using clear organizing materials for visibility, but regardless—label everything. I prefer to use chalk markers, but you can label using any method you like—marker, vinyl letters, label maker, or good ole paper and tape. Just be clear about the contents of each container so things are easily located. Having everything labeled and in its place means you’ll have less questions about where things are, you’ll spend less time collecting materials for others’ projects, and items are much more likely to end up in their rightful place when the project is complete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1564063264731-QSPKWXJGLYWEBK97WGUJ/IMG_20190725_082047.jpg Blogs - Organizing Art and Craft Supplies - Storing Finished Projects All your art and craft supplies are in order and the kids are creating masterpieces at a rapid rate. Where do they all go? You could get picture frames designed specifically for displaying and easily changing out artwork. Personally, I have clipboards hanging in the playroom for displaying the kid’s masterpieces. After a couple weeks, I decide if I’m going to keep the pieces or toss them. Displaying the items for a while gives them their time to shine, allowing me to feel less guilt about throwing them out. Plus, if it’s hung in the playroom for a couple weeks, I find I remember that artwork long after it’s gone. If I keep the artwork, it is stored in a small two-drawer (one drawer for each kid) filing cabinet in our office, just underneath the kids’ schoolwork binders. If you don’t have a spare filing cabinet, storage containers would work just the same. I also love the idea of taking photos of artwork and creating a photo book for each child. Choose a method that’s a good fit for your family and home. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/how-to-create-a-minimalist-bedroom monthly 0.5 2020-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1558143408334-G08UHZXBN6J0ZRNNUKXX/IMG_20190513_134855.jpg Blogs - How to Create a Minimalist Bedroom - Tidying-up The first step is to put away anything that has a place elsewhere in your home. Get everything up off the floor—put the pile of clothes in the hamper and the shoes on the shoe rack. Clear every surface of items that are out of place—the Tylenol on the dresser, the necklace on your nightstand, the batteries on the chest of drawers—put these items back where they belong. Once the room is tidy, you’ll be able to focus on making a plan for creating your minimalist bedroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1558143555383-44E0VV3DZ7R4BL2AHJDN/IMG_20190513_135132+%281%29.jpg Blogs - How to Create a Minimalist Bedroom - Choosing the Right Furniture Bedroom furniture should be simple, neutral, and timeless. While your furniture will be the focal point of the room, it shouldn’t be overly dramatic or bold. Choose furniture with clean lines and a classic look that you will enjoy for years to come. It’s likely the bedroom furniture you already own will fit great into a minimalist design. Just remember, less is more. Bedroom furniture—headboards, dressers, and chest of drawers—are all large pieces of furniture that typically fill much of the space. Remove any unnecessary furniture, such as workout equipment, desks, and maybe even the chair that’s great at collecting laundry. If possible, find a better room to keep these items. Could the treadmill go in the basement? Would the chair look good in the family room? Could another room double as your workspace? Our goal is to make the bedroom a relaxing retreat. Unless working out and sending emails are what soothe you to sleep at the end of a long day, these items should go elsewhere. With the excess pieces out of the way, your remaining furniture will anchor the space. If you want to update the look of your existing furniture, consider re-staining, painting, or something as simple as changing out the knobs and pulls. There are a lot of ways to revamp the furniture you already own to create a new look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1558143623804-QLIJ9JO1YL9ND0V78776/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190513135437093_COVER+%281%29.jpg Blogs - How to Create a Minimalist Bedroom - Styling the Space Start with a neutral color palette. A neutral wall color will make your space appear open and have a calming effect. I also recommend starting with neutral bedding. Let the textures of your bedding, rather than color, help give your space the desired style. Keep the bedding simple—a sheet set and a comforter, or duvet. If desired, add in a pop of color with a blanket or throw at the bottom of the bed and coordinating decorative pillows. These pieces will be easy and affordable to swap out as your taste changes. Decor should be simple and practical—a catchall or ring dish, a few books in your ‘to read’ stack, a framed photo or keepsake, maybe your favorite candle. Keep it minimal. Less decor means less dusting. Because headboards, dressers, and chests of drawers typically take up a lot of vertical space, wall decor is less needed. Hanging too much can actually make your space feel overly full and cluttered. Having negative—empty—space on surfaces and walls will make your bedroom appear more open and spacious. To give your room a fresh and airy look, add in a plant or flowers. Plants give a nice pop of color to a minimalist space, they help purify the air, and studies prove that tending plants actually helps reduce stress levels! If caring for plants isn’t your thing, Ikea has a great faux plant selection. So, you can still have that fresh and airy look, without the work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1558144101785-XHXAJ807O74PIDJ8OK69/IMG_20190513_135746+%281%29.jpg Blogs - How to Create a Minimalist Bedroom - Maintaining the Look A minimalist bedroom will inspire you to keep the space clean and clutter-free. Keeping surfaces uncluttered with decor will in turn make it easier to maintain order. Use a basket or catchall for the items that will inevitably land on bedroom surfaces, such as watches, pocket change, and lip balm. Follow the ‘one-minute rule’ to help keep your space clean. If you can put an out-of-place item away in less than one minute, do it immediately. Stay on top of the surface clutter. One last tip, I hate to sound like your mom, but make your bed everyday—it’s such a simple chore, it only takes a minute, and it sets the tone for order for the rest of your day. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/5/27/simplified-packing-for-summer-vacation monthly 0.5 2021-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1559077459468-SM6EEGPA2JFI3J0K51H2/IMG_20190528_103207.jpg Blogs - Vacation Packing Tips - Clothing Start planning the family’s outfits well in advance of your trip. A few days before you leave, catch up on all the necessary laundry. Set aside items that you plan to pack so they stay clean and ready to go. Packing early gives you time to think of the things you may be forgetting. Choose outfits that are lightweight and pack easily. Try coordinating as many pieces of clothing as you can. This makes it simple to swap out a shirt if you get a stain, or go from shorts to a skirt for a dinner out. Bring a lightweight sweater or sweatshirt that goes with multiple outfits for chilly nights, cold restaurants, or frigid flights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1559090557415-L0U7YV98X7ULBBFNJ5TO/1+%282%29.png Blogs - Vacation Packing Tips Lay out each complete outfit and fold all the pieces into one bundle. This saves space in your luggage and takes the guesswork out of getting ready while on your trip. This packing method is especially great for kids. Using Ziplocks, stickers, or ribbon you can label each bundle with the day of the week or the activity for the day to help children get ready without the need of your assistance. If committing to outfits in advance isn’t your style, use packing cubes to keep items organized. Packing cubes act like dresser drawers—keep tops together in one, bottoms in another, and undergarments in yet another. Keeping like items stored together makes finding a specific item and choosing an outfit quick and easy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1559079746954-VF1VGDG4I05EKE6F1V2I/IMG_20190528_100343+%282%29.jpg Blogs - Vacation Packing Tips - Laundry Pack a laundry bag to contain dirty clothing throughout your trip. Use a wet bag instead of a mesh laundry bag to ensure the other clothes in your luggage stay fresh and clean. A wet bag keeps odors and moisture contained, so go ahead and go for a swim on the last day—no need to fret about hauling wet swimwear back home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1559139897196-Z97GEDP5RLWIFMJEXWGF/IMG_20190529_081608.jpg Blogs - Vacation Packing Tips - Accessories Shoes take up space and add excess weight to your suitcase. Two pairs of shoes per family member should be sufficient for the trip—tennis shoes for days with a lot of walking and sandals for the beach and poolside. You’ll each wear one pair of shoes while traveling, so only one pair per family member needs luggage space. Packing jewelry can be a challenge if you don’t have a specific travel bag for the purpose. Place items between two pieces of Press and Seal Wrap to keep them together and prevent tangling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1559084063725-MWFYN6EQZNCU86Z2SXFL/IMG_20190528_175209.jpg Blogs - Vacation Packing Tips - Toiletries + Cosmetics When traveling, we want to be prepared for anything, but that can lead to some serious overpacking. Be practical about planning for what you’ll need while away, and be realistic about what you could just run out and grab once you’ve reached your destination if the need arises. Refillable travel toiletry bottles are the perfect size and allow you to pack products, like shampoo and conditioner, that you already have on hand. Pack toiletry bottles, sunscreens, and cosmetics within a small wet bag or Ziplock to save your clothes from any potential leaks during travel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1559079352990-Z722VTI9PZ98JJ9ZIP4T/Hubby%27s+Clothes+%281%29.png Blogs - Vacation Packing Tips - Packing Suitcases A mom traveling with young kids has her hands full. I like to take as few bags as possible, especially when flying. Here you can see how I managed to pack 4 people for 5 days in 1 carry-on. If you’re flying and plan to check your luggage, be sure to pack one outfit for each family member in your purse or carry-on, just in case! The remaining clothes will go in your suitcase. File fold—meaning stand folded clothing up on end—to make everything visible and easy to grab. I place our kid’s clothes in separate soft-sided totes, like a reusable shopping bag, and pack those bags within our suitcase. When we reach our destination, each kid gets their own tote allowing them to get ready independently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1559083515869-WZN67DMZHBHZ928E4JLT/IMG_20190528_104550.jpg Blogs - Vacation Packing Tips - Kid’s Gear Young children require a whole lot of stuff. While packing the car may make it possible to fit it all in, flying with all that gear can be a real headache. The car seat is a given if you’re driving, but lugging one through the airport is a workout. I recommend checking the car seat at the service counter. If you’re planning to bring pool and beach gear, strap life-vests, puddle jumpers, and floaties right into the car seat. The whole bundle can go in a car seat travel bag, and voila, you just saved yourself a ton of storage space in your luggage. A stroller seems necessary, but I find it often goes unused. If you’re traveling with an infant, baby carriers are just as useful and much easier to lug around. If you need the stroller, use it to help haul kids or bags through the airport. Then, gate-check it. You could skip the stress of traveling with these bulky items, rent the necessary gear, and it will be waiting for you when you reach your destination. Car seats can be rented right along with your rental car. Not renting a car? Companies like Baby’s Away and BabyQuip have everything from cribs and pack-n-plays to car seats and strollers to feeding products and toys. With locations all over the country, your kids can have all the comforts of home at nearly any destination. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/5/18/moms-survival-guide-for-the-end-of-the-school-year monthly 0.5 2019-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1558366604449-U3KHYSTBYLU9XVWU4449/IMG_20190520_085326.jpg Blogs - Mom’s Survival Guide for the End of the School Year - Sort Schoolwork and Supplies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1558366483090-YSYB7Y9EEYLA31LCH3BX/IMG_1808.jpg Blogs - Mom’s Survival Guide for the End of the School Year - Manage Your Calendar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1558366523897-7V2LIG8IVTUL1MPX3GPE/00000IMG_00000_BURST20190520090722621_COVER.jpg Blogs - Mom’s Survival Guide for the End of the School Year - Take Time for Yourself https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/5/1/moving-tips monthly 0.5 2020-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556763394893-NDHHCAUHCMBPO0FJ5QJ3/IMG_20190501_204553.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Moving Tips - Purge + Declutter Packing for a move means you’re already being forced to touch every item you own. Take the time to evaluate your possessions and get rid of the unwanted and unnecessary items in your home. Be sure to check out my declutter checklist. Save yourself time and energy. Purge these items now, rather than pack unwanted items, move them, and instantly create clutter in your new home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556742999124-8DE3P9MZ8SUQ7F5UMCJE/IMG_20190501_120324.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Moving Tips - Pack Your Luggage I recommend using duffel bags or small pieces of luggage to pack the essentials you (and your family members) will need for a few days during the move. Pack like you would for a weekend away: a few outfits, pjs, toiletries, etc. This assures if boxes are misplaced in the move, you’re covered until the boxes are, well, uncovered. Be sure to label the luggage so that it doesn’t accidentally end up in a moving truck. Use large rolling suitcases for packing books. Have you ever loaded a box with books and then realized you can’t actually lift it? You could drastically up your spinach intake or just try this useful tip. If you have a two story home I recommend starting this project on the main floor. Moving vans and trucks will have a ramp to make loading and unloading your library a breeze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556749128989-CK4DKDY5JOJHEXXMT6TD/IMG_20190501_164945.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Moving Tips - Think Outside the Box for Packing Materials Did you know you have packing supplies lurking around your home right now, as you read this? It’s true. Don’t waste your money on unnecessary packing paper and bubble wrap. Paper bags, plastic bags, newspapers, magazines, and towels all make great packing materials to protect your valuables. Blankets work great to protect large picture frames and artwork. Try stuffing beach towels inside a box to fill any large gaps. It’s pretty unlikely that rolls of wrapping paper and tissue paper are going to make the move unscathed so why not put them to good use protecting fragile items. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556743045136-QD4I08EFGOBNM51AFVZ5/IMG_20190501_124623.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Moving Tips - Avoid Dish Disasters Use styrofoam plates, bowls, and cups to pack your dishes. Simply stack your dishes with the styrofoam equivalent in between each item. If you’re trying to be eco-friendly, you could use paper, but you may want to double up to ensure your dishes have enough cushion to prevent breaks. Disposable dinnerware is the perfect shape and size to protect your dishes in a move—plus, you can use the packing supplies to serve pizza the first night in your new home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556743083301-KOSLPUUE3BNQNTPYVJ77/IMG_20190501_121541.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Moving Tips - Pack Clothing, Skip the Box Don’t waste time removing clothes from hangers to pack for a move. Trash bags will often be sufficient enough to haul your clothing. I would splurge for a moving box with a hanging bar designed specifically for clothes for moving more valuable clothing, like suits and formal dresses. For everyday items, simply slip a trash bag up over your clothes and tie the bag around the hangers to secure it in place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556743154252-6S5YIEDRU64XVXHN5C42/IMG_20190501_123238.jpg Blogs - 5 Simple Moving Tips You know what a drawer is pretty similar to? A box! You’re moving the drawers anyway, just leave the contents in place, remove the drawer, and wrap in plastic moving wrap—it’s like heavy duty saran wrap. This will keep the contents in place and protect the finish of your drawers from scratches during the move. You’ll be able to neatly stack the drawers in the moving truck alternating the way they face—one forwards, the next backwards, and so on. Your belongings are secure, your dresser will be lighter, and there’s no unpacking necessary. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/4/24/5-storage-solutions-for-movies monthly 0.5 2020-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556313615813-3XC5F2NNHJLZ3UQ9NOQK/IMG_20190426_130513.jpg Blogs - 5 Storage Solutions for Blu-rays and DVDs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556313636520-B4JWYTU42HR8ONLJKNOA/IMG_20190426_131150.jpg Blogs - 5 Storage Solutions for Blu-rays and DVDs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1556313206242-S998NRBP9EH2T3ULQGJH/IMG_20190426_130206.jpg Blogs - 5 Storage Solutions for Blu-rays and DVDs https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/4/9/coat-closet-clean-out monthly 0.5 2020-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1554906847633-LFLYI114EEBBXENRRJZQ/IMG_20190408_112322.jpg Blogs - Coat Closet Clean Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1554906697697-XHOUE6S71J2XFMQL41YX/IMG_20190408_113726.jpg Blogs - Coat Closet Clean Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1554906792861-ZTJZW52SM0REZV0ZSBPE/IMG_20190408_114644.jpg Blogs - Coat Closet Clean Out https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/organizing-hacks-for-toys monthly 0.5 2019-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1552498532501-8299Z2EB5HTT24HACJ34/IMG_20190312_140059+%281%29.jpg Blogs - Organizing Hacks for the 3 Most Difficult Toys to Store - Stuffed Animals My kids love their stuffed animals and play with them often. The amount of stuffed animals kids accumulate can be overwhelming. I’m 100% okay with having a collection of stuffed animals while my kids are young and enjoy playing with them. I like to keep stuffed animals in the kids’ bedrooms. My son has a large basket in his room to house his stuffed animals. My daughter has a hammered metal table I had originally purchased as a nightstand, but discovered if flipped over it makes a great stuffed animal bin. The kids can play with whichever plush toys they want and take them wherever as long as at the end of the day the stuffed animals end up back in their bedrooms. Then, they can pick one or two to snuggle with at bedtime. Having a bin designated solely for stuffed animals makes it easy for kids to know where they belong, and with no hard plastic or wooden toys in the way it’s easy to smush them all inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1552499703893-TYXEC9FZX0F8U7VQ5RJS/IMG_20190312_134759.jpg Blogs - Organizing Hacks for the 3 Most Difficult Toys to Store - Puzzles + Games We have a game cabinet, some people use a closet or bookcase—any of those storage spaces are just fine. First, remove all the games and puzzles and set aside any items you plan to donate or sell. (Be sure to consider how many decks of cards you actually need.) Next, set aside anything that is seasonal. I prefer to store seasonal games and puzzles with our seasonal items—Christmas puzzles and games are stored with Christmas decorations, Halloween puzzles and games are stored with Halloween decorations, and so on. It keeps those items a little more special while saving on storage space. Some game boxes have a lot of wasted space, so finding ways to condense your collection can help gain you extra storage. For example, we own two versions of Taboo and Trivial Pursuit, I was able to fit both versions in just one box. Storage drawers or stackable bins work great for keeping card games, dice games, and small puzzles organized. Time to put it all away. Store board games and puzzle boxes vertically. The goal is to keep everything easy to see and remove for a stress free family game night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1552500401270-DQKKHUE54CC86KIGSILD/IMG_20190312_130955.jpg Blogs - Organizing Hacks for the 3 Most Difficult Toys to Store - Legos We play with Legos at the coffee table, kitchen table, playroom, bedrooms, EVERYWHERE, so they are stored in the family room—a good central location. But, if you have a specific place in your home where kids are playing with Legos that’s where they should be stored. My kids follow the building instructions to a T, making the bricks perfectly match the photo on the front of the box, then, they play with their creation like any other toy. We have too many sets to store each individually, so they are stored by genre—all the Lego City sets are stored in one bin, Avenger sets are stored in another, and so on. Instruction booklets can be stored right in the bins or in page protectors within a binder. FYI: You can find all Lego instructions by search on the Lego website, so no hard feelings if they end up in the recycling. If you’re kids are more creative and toss the instruction booklets aside, you can probably get by with mixing up the sets in a large storage container. I would separate out specific building pieces into smaller bins, like car parts and Minifigures. Imaginations can run wild, but they won’t get frustrated looking for the 4th wheel for their Lego car. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/3tipstoovercomethestrugglesofdecluttering monthly 0.5 2020-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1595783770830-2PM7AHPK91SPJZ841QZU/IMG_20190702_162748_01.jpg Blogs - 3 Tips to Overcome the Struggles of Decluttering - Time Not having enough time is an excuse we all use—no time to workout, no time to clean, no time to declutter. Every item in your home requires attention in one way or another—you shuffle around the clothes you don’t wear to find the ones you do, riffle through mixing bowls in the kitchen to get to the one you like to use, pick up the toys the kids toss aside in search of their favorites, and dust countless trinkets that have little meaning or significance. The clutter in your life is costing you time—minimalizing your possessions will help you take it back. Decluttering doesn’t have to be an insurmountable task—it’s okay to take it slow. Go through your home one room at a time or trying to fill a laundry basket each week with things to donate, sell, or toss. Find a method that works for you—it’s better to make small changes over time than make excuses and never achieve any results! The more you declutter the more living minimally becomes a lifestyle instead of a chore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1595785034940-IS0QH72WB4KD6M84LXU6/IMG_20200614_155650.jpg Blogs - 3 Tips to Overcome the Struggles of Decluttering - Wishful Thinking It’s not always simple deciding which items truly deserve a place in your home. There will come a time when the excuse of wishful thinking will trick you into holding onto a possession—thinking you’ll sew up the hole in that shirt you haven’t worn in 6 months, thinking you’ll fix a broken toy your child probably doesn’t remember owning, saying you’re going to repair the blender that has been broken for over a year, or thinking you’ll sell the expensive vase that’s in storage because it no longer matches your decor. If you are actually going to do those things—sew the shirt and wear it, fix the toy and put it back in the toy box, repair the blender and start drinking smoothies, sell the expensive vase and earn some cash—by all means, schedule the time to do it! But, if you’re using wishful thinking as a way to justify why that item is still in your home, it’s time to say goodbye and move-on. It’s okay! What’s that? You feel guilty?... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1595785495858-MFPCYWEZJ6HMKPNM916X/Declutter%2BImage.jpg Blogs - 3 Tips to Overcome the Struggles of Decluttering - Guilt Guilt is one of the strongest emotions that holds people back from purging their unwanted possessions. It’s okay to get rid of that sweater you thought you really wanted but ended up not liking the fit. Minimalizing will help you become a more conscientious buyer. It’s okay to get rid of the gift Aunt Bethany got you five years ago for your birthday. The fact that you have guilt about getting rid of that gift means the gesture was appreciated, but now it’s okay to be upfront with yourself and admit you don’t need that item in your life. Don’t let guilt hold you back from decluttering—let it motivate you… Let’s say you have a winter coat that you spent a lot of money on, it’s been taking up space in the closet for years, and you’re letting the amount of money it cost guilt you into keeping it. Now, imagine a person who is struggling to get by, someone who would gladly put that coat to good use. Feel guilty about not donating the coat. We’re all familiar with the phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Guilt is such a powerful emotion. Use it to your advantage. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/2019/2/22/5-tips-for-bathroom-organization monthly 0.5 2021-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1551242067849-GYLKGVN9V290BQ74MLU8/IMG_20190225_090344.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Bathroom Organization - Towels & Washcloths It doesn’t really matter how you choose to fold towels and washcloths—just be consistent. Having a stack of towels all the same size and shape makes for a crisp and organized look. I encourage you to purge any towels with tears and holes (donate them to your local animal shelter) and purchase a few fresh towels if needed—you won’t regret it! I keep our washcloths in a drawer next to the sink. My kids are trained to use washcloths instead of the hand towels when brushing their teeth—which saves me from getting blue goo on my hands after washing. The washcloths also work great for wiping down the mirrors and counters in between deep cleans. Find space to put a laundry basket (even if you only have the space for something small) in the bathroom to keep those towels and washcloths from piling up on the floor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1551158336495-0U936VTKK1LHAOOEM5OI/IMG_20190225_082846.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Bathroom Organization - Toothbrushes & Toothpaste I like to keep toothbrushes and toothpaste off the countertops—I appreciate a clear countertop, but I also like to keep my toothbrush tucked away from bathroom germs. I store toothbrushes and toothpaste in a drawer with a plastic liner that is easily removed to be sanitized as needed. You could also use a drawer divider tray or put a toothbrush holder inside a cabinet to keep the counters clear and toothbrushes clean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1551158924560-V9DDTCH1GQERDR4RGNL8/image-asset.jpeg Blogs - 5 Tips for Bathroom Organization - Medicine & First Aid Clear out any expired medication—check with your pharmacy for the best way to dispose of these products in your area. I just purchased clear stackable bins for our medicine and first aid items. I previously had them stored in wicker baskets, which looked pretty, but bottles didn’t stand up on the wicker and I couldn’t easily see what I had on hand. The clear plastic bins solve those problems and make it easy to quickly grab what I need—a real godsend when a little one develops a middle-of-the-night fever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1551159284436-TLIS9ME1W92XBPY2T6JN/IMG_20190225_084213.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Bathroom Organization - Hair Products Gather all of your hair stuff and purge the items you don’t use—how many brushes, combs, and ponytail holders do you actually need? Use binder rings or carabiner clips to keeping ponytail holders and headbands contained and easy to grab—it’s a handy way to keep some in your purse or car, too. For bobby pins and clips, I use a small zippered pouch but any small container could work. Storing all these items together in a bin makes it easy to find exactly what you need to get the style you want. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1551158623179-P5S8BY5BP6EO2USR0GTZ/IMG_20190225_081927.jpg Blogs - 5 Tips for Bathroom Organization - Make-up & Misc. Toiletries Eliminating make-up, creams, and other toiletries that are old and go unused is step one. Once you have the items you plan to keep, map out how best to use your storage space. Drawer organizers keep these items easy to find and contain the residues that sometimes get left behind—just give your organizer a quick rinse to keep them clean. For deeper drawers, stackable bins can help maximize storage space. I recommend storing extra toiletries in baskets or bins within a linen closet or cabinet. It’s convenient to have just one place to look for back-ups when a product runs out. It’s also nice to consider guests by keeping extra toiletries, like shampoo and toothpaste, easy to find. https://www.thesprucedhome.com/blogs/category/Office monthly 0.5

Clothing To make the most use of your closet space, hang as much clothing as possible. Hanging clothing is less effort to put away and keep tidy. For items you do wish to fold and store within drawers or bins, I recommend file folding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621342673450-GPFPLOHREL44N0JVCXKX/71pCBoGfXaL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Virtual Session Example - Hangers It appears most of your hangers are already space-saving velvet in a matching color. Keeping your hangers consistent allows clothes to hang more evenly and creates a much tidier look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621368430325-PTFOJ0NS8W2L6HEFCQL3/Chaffin+Master+Closet+%284%29.png Virtual Session Example - Empty Hangers Reserve a small area of hanging rod space for your extra, unused hangers. When you remove a piece of clothing from a hanger, be sure to move the empty hanger to that spot. This will keep your closet looking tidy and prevent you from having to search for empty hangers when putting away laundry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621353100088-MNOU9PSRSJ1OHPMU4SJ0/PXL_20210219_163349507.jpg Virtual Session Example - Drawer Organization Bamboo drawer dividers help to create zones within each drawer. This allows you to fit more items in each drawer while still maintaining order. White bamboo will tie in beautifully with the new closet system and look like they were built right in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621088364172-NBXG34XWZ8EXJWRQX3RW/61b6g6JJLGL._AC_SL1357_.jpg Virtual Session Example - Drawer Dividers $20.65 (set of 4) Quantity: 4 sets (16 Total) Amazon white bamboo drawer dividers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621370105063-VR9CKVWJSQAU65THILXO/Chaffin+Master+Closet+%288%29.png Virtual Session Example - Open Shelving $17.99 quantity: 6 The Container Store Large Kiva Bin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621116065465-4PU0KSX93GEIK0ATTAO6/California%2BClosets%C2%AE%2BThe%2BEveryday%2BSystem%E2%84%A2%2BFabric%2BBin.jpeg Virtual Session Example - Large Fabric Bins $22.02 Quantity: 6 Wayfair California Closets everyday system large fabric bin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621395595769-RTH6O65XW8MRNE7TFZ3A/California%2BClosets%C2%AE%2BThe%2BEveryday%2BSystem%E2%84%A2%2BFabric%2BBin.jpeg Virtual Session Example - Small Fabric Bins These smaller, coordinating bins will work well for keeping dust off of infrequently worn shoes (if desired) and for storing misc. items within the cabinetry. $14.44 ea Quantity: As desired https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621113984995-QTSJQRYBW7BNS0A31CVT/10064623Bin_Clip_Label_2Alt3.jpeg Virtual Session Example - Bin Label Holders $9.99 (set of 3) quantity: 4 The Container Store Bin Clip Label Holders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c47adbfe17ba324ad0c6d00/1621353015984-3C4QJ4EE4QIFPFZ5SFW0/Master_ShoeShelves-1024x683.jpeg Virtual Session Example - Shoes Discard shoe boxes and store shoes on open shelves.
