10 Tips in Getting Organized and Staying There

So people who know me call me somewhat of a minimalist. I enjoy the fact that I am a minimalist, everything is in is place and I don't have a lot of stuff. Now my sister would tell you growing up I was not like this, I was not an organising minimalist. Though through the years for some reason or another I have become such. So I would love to share the knowledge that I have and hopeful it will help in your endeavours! I find that I need fall cleaning and spring cleaning... so because of where I live it is just now feeling like fall. And that irritating feeling of everything needs to be in is place is creeping in!

1. When organizing, group stuff together

2. I find using clear storage containers help you to know what is in there and if it needs to be cleaned out!

3. Label everything

4. Closets are not the best for storing, if you have other options like an attic or a garage use those first

5. If you only have closets, clean it often, and make sure stuff as not got pushed to the back that you cannot see.

6. Things that are used often keep toward the front

7. If you need to stack up, stack things on top that you use more often

8. Keep holiday decoration out in the garage, and keep them in order of holiday

9. When it comes to kids clothes keep them in boxes of size

10. Keep it up!

So here are my tips I hope it will help!

Spooky Boxes

Okay so here is a cheap cute idea. The box is forever old, but here is a new spin and a new design. These boxes are super easy to make. I decided to make mine out of double sided Halloween paper!

Stables add a fun element and help keep the box together. Plus it is super fast. If you fold it the oppisite way you get the short fat box. I put some candy and ripped up paper to fill the box.

I also have a template for a box with a lid! Add a cute little ribbon, and you have a fun little gift box you can make for your kids friends, or it is so easy they can do it!

First you cut out the template.

Then you fold each side toward the center. You do this on all four sides.

Then you put the sids of the box together so that the triangle is on the outside of the box.

You press it over, and you can tape, glue or stable it.

Here is the PDF of the file of the boxes. You can make them for any occation. They also make great party favor boxes!
