Kids Closet Oganization

Today's post is on organizing the kids closet, I found these AWESOME printables here. On the right you will see a list of folders the Printable daily clothes tag is in the 3rd folder just scroll down to Daily Clothes Bag Tags PDF Or just click the link below

I don't know about you, but I dislike Monday morning chaos.

When I found these I was so happy not only do they have so many colors including the ones I use for our kids (we call the Family Colors). But they also have a space for you to write things for them to remember, like library book, jackets, homework, or just to remind them that you love them. It may seem like a lot of work to do this, but come Monday morning you will be glad you took the extra time.

How do you organize your kids closet?

Organizing The Little Things

I guess since it is the new year I am on an Organizing Kick, and I wanted to share with you some of my Organizing Secrets.

Today I am going so show you my soap boxes ( I love these little things)

You can find these almost anywhere in the trail size section.

My favorites are the Wal-Mart $.97 (the color ones)

and the bigger white ones I found at the BX with a round toothbrush holder included for $.55

Of cours we use the round toothbrush holder to hold pencils (not shown)

I use them for so many little things. Here are some that go in our Church Bag/Pack Mtg Bag.

These other ones hold some smaller school supplies, & card games. My kids love to build card houses, but they either rip the box puting the cards away or lose it. You can put together a little boardom buster house of cards kit.

Just a deck of cards and a soap box.

I also have one in my junk drawer to hold all those little screws, washers, bolts, & nuts

Last but not least my favorite way to use these little soap boxes is to help keep my purse organized. I carry this one in my purse to keep my Iphone/Ipod accesories close at hand ond neatly put away.

I hope you have enjoyed my little rant. I'll get off my "Soap Box" now.

Organizing My Space

I got this shelf from IKEA almost a year ago and have struggled with how to organize it, I have lost count as to how many times I have rearranged the books. I think I have finally found the solution! My original inspiration came from here I loved how clean it all looked. So here's what I did to organize and clean up my space.

Supplies I used

• 
  
  
  A Heat Seal Laminator (I bought this ages ago at Office Depot)



• 
  
  
  Laminating Pouches (Sams Club sells a box of 200 for $20)



• 
  
  
  Crack N Peel Sticker Sheets (You can use regular scrapbook paper & glue them I just happened to have these)



• 
  
  
  White Cardstock



• 
  
  
  Velcro Dots



• 
  
  
  IKEA Magazine Holders ($1.99 for 5 awesome deal)



• 
  
  
  Color Printer

First I put together the magazine holders

I printed on the Crack N Peel some awesome free digital scrapbook paper from here but you can also use regular scrapbook paper

I put wrong sides together laminated them and than trimmed close to the edge so I could separate them and only have the design side be laminated

I printed my labels on basic white cardstock, I laminated it so both sides were laminated

Next I put the label sheet on top of a design sheet and cut them into three strips & than continued to cut the rest of the laminated Crack N Peel Sheets

I peeled the back off

And stuck it onto the magazine holder

I filled my magazine holder with like items in this case it was my sons school workbooks
This is functional in itself but I have a need for LABELS
I wanted to be able to change my labels (In case I changed things around a bit) So I added the Velcro dots. I have a hard time lining things up so I put the dots together than I stuck them to the magazine holder.
And now you have a nice, clean, cute & functional way to organize magazines, books & papers

The end result! What do you think?
