Why is having a junk drawer a mistake? In my opinion, there are 3 major reasons:

1. You can’t find exactly what you’re looking for quickly

2. It's easier to lose things, especially those smaller items

3. It can cost you, as you end up buying things you actually already owned just because you couldn't find them in amongst the clutter

Luckily, it's a pretty easy fix to get your drawers back in shape. In today's video I'm walking you through the simple process for decluttering and organising your drawers so that everything is easy to find. Follow along with these easy steps...

If you like to collect recipes from magazines, newspapers or even printed online recipes, then how do you organise them? Loose clippings can tend to become a jumbled mess and a real clutter-pile in the kitchen without some sort of organising system.

If you've been reading along with the blog, you would know that we are currently in the middle of our home renovation. So in today's episode of The Organised You TV, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the progress, as well as a realistic look at what a home can really look like during such a big project (hint: lotsa mess!). I previously shared with you all the big decisions we've made for our new home, so it'll be a really exciting process to see it all coming together over the next few months, as the 'building' part finishes and the finishing touches happen. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you!

Hope you enjoy the video... excuse the chatter of my kids in the background - not so easy to film a video with them running around! :)

 

Super simple ideas for organising toys

Super simple ideas for organising toys

 

Getting the toy clutter under control is a daily task that most mothers are probably familiar with. Some days this can be more challenging than others, depending on what activities your kids have been getting stuck into! Setting up great workable systems for keeping toys organised involves several key factors:

  • kids need to be able to easily find what they need
  • they should be able to find toys independently (you're trying to avoid the 'Mum, I can't find my ...' dilemma!)
  • toys should be categorized so everyone know where everything belongs
  • pack-up time should be fairly easy

The step-by-step guide to organising your food storage containers

The step-by-step guide to organising your food storage containers

Earlier in the week, I shared 15 ideas for organising your food storage containers. Today I'm sharing a video of how I organised a client's kitchen cupboard that contained her plastics collection. The main problem with her original set-up was that, because the containers were on a shelf in the cupboard as opposed to a drawer, she couldn't easily find or access what she needed as all the containers and lids were jumbled together. Watch the video to see how I set up a new system for this cupboard so that the food storage containers were in an easy-to-maintain system with everything accessible and organised.
