  • 13 Tips To Help Get Your Kids Organized - We all know that we want to be a good example to our kids. What habits will they grow up with as they watch our organizational behaviors? If we don't respectfully put away our things, why should they? It's not difficult to get them involved.
  • Changing with the Seasons - ‘Tis the season for change. And as the seasons change, so does your children’s wardrobe. Spring and Autumn are the “in-between” times when warm-weather clothes overlap with cool-weather clothes. Add to that the fact that your children are growing like weeds and you have a constant stream of clothing going in and out of your life!
  • Clean Your Room! - My child's bedroom looks like it's been put through a blender! I can't see the carpet, and to walk through the room I have to dodge clothes, toys, and last week's snack wrappers. My child doesn't care, but I do. When I yell and threaten we sometimes end up with one day of cleanliness, but in no time at all, the disaster magically reappears. What can I do?
  • Clear Your Closets for Charity - With the holidays just around the corner, many of us are clearing out the clutter to make room for even more stuff. Parents are purging their kids' closets to make room for Santa's goodies, and optimistic dads are cleaning out the coat closet to allow room for that new jacket. But what can be done with the outcasts? Whatever can be gained from cleaning out our closets and outgrown clothes hiding under the beds?
  • Control Your Children's Clutter - Ever feel overwhelmed by all the papers, notices, artwork, and other items your kids bring home from school? Don't be a pack rat! We'll show you how to "Trap the R-A-T" (RETAIN, ACT, THROW)
  • Fun & Funky Tote Bag - Has your daughter outgrown her ribbons and lace and has long since ditched the princess decorations in her bedroom? Make this fun and funky tote bag for her sleepovers, dance class accessories, or even homework!
  • Getting Organized for Back to School - How many days left of summer? When does school start? Are those the voices of bored teenagers that I hear, or the whine of frazzled parents? Summer is coming to a close, and it's time to begin thinking of back to school basics. No, not the 3 R's, but how to organize your home for the back to school schedule. Here are 5 tips to help you jazz up those blues:
  • Homework Furniture - Today, parents often erroneously assume their kids need what's known by the unfortunate appellation of "computer desk" or "workstation." This may not be what your children need in order to study most comfortably and most effectively.
  • Tornado Alley - The Kid's Rooms - I love my children dearly, but I struggle with teaching them to be more orderly in their ways. They thrive on routine - on knowing when things will happen - but their rooms often look like a tornado has passed through.
