As you can see, I'm not going in the order of the challenge. But I'm not sure that really matters, as long as I get the area organized. Here are some photos from my most recent completions.
(I have found it's impossible to just complete that one task on the checklist.
Example - Organizing the spice cabinet required the entire cupboard to get cleaned/organized.)
Please do not freak out at our toys! Yes... this is most of them. There are still some more in the basement but I am not a fan of millions of toys out at a time. If it doesn't have a place to be stored... it doesn't come upstairs. I am a huge fan of the Sterilite clear totes pictured above. (All purchased at Target.) They fit great underneath kid beds and also in small spots.
One way I have found to not be overwhelmed with toys at holidays and birthdays is to stow away the new toys. We do not open everything our kids get at parties. We will open one or two and that will make them happy for days. The rest get stowed away in closets or the basement. Then on rainy days or when I need to get a big project done... we go and open a new toy. Ethan loves it because it's like Christmas all year long. :)
If your taking the Organizing Challenge I'm hoping you are enjoying it! Happy Organizing!
