do you have suggestions in ways to get organized??
I recently had a baby, we have a small house, and we have way to much stuff to fit it all in and lately I am feeling overwhelmed with what to do to get organized around here.
are you organized in certain areas of your life?? any tips to those of us who could use the help??

Have you tried putting sticky notes in places where you go around the house?

You're welcome. If you try it, get creative with it, like different shapes and colors.

do you have things around the house that you really don't need or use anymore? if so, why don't you schedule a donation pickup & start purging. i also find if i have a good friend, that once a month we can help each other out by do a thorough cleaning & put away...work is so much easier with friend & it gets done especially if someone else can watch the kids for a few hours

I need to start donating things and getting some things out of the house and garage, it has been building up since we moved in....we got rid of a lot of things last summer but its amazing how fast the house gets full again!!
yeah, I find it easier to clean the house when the kids are gone otherwise you just end up re-cleaning all day long.

Have you tried getting one of those dividers stand?

I really need to look into those dividers, after all they end up on my counter but if they were in a nice divider it might not look so bad.
we cleaned out our laundry room over the weekend and got rid of a lot of stuff we dont use....that was a nice start.

thanks stealth those are great options.....I actually found a rod iron basket I found that I am going to use.... I have a ton of baskets and found one today at the back of a closet, it is the perfect size. I cleaned it up and going to fill it tomorrow. #1 organization tip: use what you have, this eliminates clutter and cleans up an unsightly pile of papers.
