The best use I've found so far is to sort my house. I have been busy home-schooling and so clutter has piled up a bit. I would throw it all away, but mixed in with junk mail was receipts I needed or photos I wanted.

Like these tips! I will have to start with decluttering soon, because I'm moving in January and here are great ideas on decluttering and organizing that will work quite good for me. Thanks for sharing!
I keep a basket in several busy areas in my home for times that I'm too busy to put something away or for others in my home that can't put things where they go (hubby). I've had a day care in my home for years and I've always had the rule that you can't get something new out until you clean up what you already have out. No matter what that rule has to be number 1 with children. Stickers are great for getting this process started. Once it's in place children love to see their area clean and organized if you make a big deal about it. Talk about how proud you are when they keep their area organized because that gives you more time to play with them. Just make sure you spend the "free time" playing with them, reading to them, and just having fun with them. Children need and want your attention most of all. Hubby's respond to this as well. 😉 I keep like items together and I use a hanging jewelry organizer for all of my jewelry. This is great to see everything I have, it hangs in my closet with my clothes which is safer than putting than using boxes and trays in my dresser, I also hang shoe organizers behind my clothes flat against the wall behind my clothes. Everything is visible and accessible.
Still the question remains, how do you get your husband to stop throwing things down just anywhere and just not caring? Mine just throws things down.all over the house and if I say anything he starts a fight with me about it!
I like to use Tupperware Modular Mates to organize my kitchen. They are designed to use all the space so you do not have any wasted space and best of all, they really do keep the foods fresh as well as organized. They are see-through so you always know when you are running out of something. I used to find 3 of each item in my pantry because I could not find what I needed and bought another one!!! They look so organized and I love to open my pantry! Best part…they have a lifetime warranty! You can contact any Tupperware consultant to get a broken one replaced and no receipt is needed.
Ladies! In need of some tips to organize this growing shoe collection 😉 I can't get rid of any and I'm tired of rummaging through my closet everytime we step out. Those shoe organizers from the store are pretty pricey and I don't think they make enough slots…Please help!
Put a snapshot of the shoe on the box and you will instantly know what shoe is in the box.
Caroline.. I keep the boxes the shoes come in, or find some if they do not have box and label the outside of the box. Taking a picture of the shoes on the inside of the box make them a snap to find. Stack by type and voila . I do not have a ton of shoes, so this works well for me.
I line my shoes up underneath my bed. Always have. Keep your boots in the closet, and everything else is placed just underneath, in order so I can just grab one pair at a time. Seldom worn shoes can go behind on a second row if you have that many – I do. Get a bed skirt if you don't want to see them. As a bonus, this keeps things from getting shoved under your bed. The only thing under there is shoes.
I have a cooler idea. I saw this on someone's website. (I apologize, I don't recall where.) She bought those little wall shelves, just the right size to place pairs of shoes going right up her wall. She only placed her cutest ones there, so they were like a display. It became part of her room's charm and was adorable. This is summer, the best time of the year for yard sales. So try looking around for deals on shelves!
If you want to find and get your shoes easier out from under the bed you can organize them in those clear storage bins made for under the beds. I like one for dress shoes, one for tennis and winter shoes, one for sandles and summer shoes. The lids keep them from getting dusty and dirty to. You can also fit them on the floor underneath the clothes in your closet to. I also use the door shoe racks for the most often ones used and a vertical shelf for boots to.
I have 7 children so I had to make my children start to do the decluttering and cleaning themselves starting at the age of 4 so I dont baby them any more. I first help them and teach them by directing and showing examples to. So once they come home from school they have home work and duties to do before the TV, video games, computer,or toys are used or played with. But I still reward and praise them for the good jobs they do.
