Plastic
Bags (07/07)
I found this solution on
www.meckmom.com and
I think it's a great idea. I keep my plastic grocery bags when I
get home from the store. We use them for bathroom trash bags,
dirty diaper bags, lunch bags for work, etc. I used to put the
bags in the bottom of a cabinet and no matter how hard I tried to keep
them organized, they always ended up all over the cabinet. Now, I
keep all my bags in an empty crystal light container. It holds
about 10 bags. I just have a few of these containers in my cabinet
and I can grab them when needed-on the way out the door, for the diaper
bag, for the car etc. It keeps them all nice and organized and, if
you drink crystal light, it's a free container!
Power Cord Labels
(07/07)
Have you ever found a power cord in a drawer somewhere
and wondered what on earth it went to? Well, I label all my power
cords with my label maker. You can see in the above photo the
white tag on the end of the cord.
Notebook Organization (06/07)
My favorite organizational system is in three ring
binders. I have several binders that I update frequently.
They keep papers organized neatly and they fit perfectly on a shelf.
I put the pages in page protectors to keep them safe. I have a notebook that I update for each of my children about their
lives. I keep my recipes typed out and in a notebook. I
keep a notebook of all the craft ideas I see in magazines and other
places. I keep a personal notebook with articles, poems, and
other things that I love. I have several other notebooks and
think it's a great way to keep organized.
Label Maker (06/07)
I love my label maker. I use it to label
everything. I have plastic bins in my basement for storage and
all of them are labeled. I also label all my electronic cords
so I'm not trying to figure out which cord goes to what device.
When things have their place and are labeled it's a lot easier to
keep things nice and organized.
DVD/CD Storage (06/07)
We used to have all our dvds in a big box.
We would have to dig through it to find what we wanted and it also
took up a lot of space. I purchased some of these cd cases and
put all our dvds, music cds, and computer program cds in them.
I threw away all the cases to get rid of the clutter and condensed a
large box full of dvds and cds into a nice organized case.
