In between catching up from our family’s trip to my Grandma’s funeral and daily life, I squeezed in time for organizing.
Participating in Tsh’s Project Simplify, I determined to get my toddler’s nursery decluttered of baby items, cleaned, and organized. Though it wasn’t easy, I finished the task on Saturday afternoon and added lots of baby items to our donation pile.
Week #1: Kids’s Stuff
The main project in my daughter’s nursery was the closet. I had pillows, diaper bags, infant toys, slings, carriers, and coats taking up valuable space in her closet. To best use the available space, I followed this system of organization:
- Remove all items out of each shelf
- Sort items into 3 piles
- Keep
- Give (donate)
- Sell
- Organize keep items
- Place keep items into designated space
- Put give and sell items in their designated spaces
Before After
The result turned out better than I envisioned. I love to see empty spaces! My daughter’s closet now holds items she uses, and the extra stuff is not cluttering our home.
This Project Simplify task – organizing Kids’ Stuff is complete. If you simplified your kids’ stuff this week, then please link or post your pictures in the comments.
Week #2: Kitchen and/or Pantry
With Week #1 complete, Project Simplify is moving to Week #2 – Kitchen and/or pantry. Hmm . . . my freezer and my pantry need some attention. Oh, which one do I choose?
Well, come back next week to see my before and after pictures of my progress. Happy organizing!
