| | A place for everything, and everything in its place? | |
Today I found a bunch of articles on organizing all kinds of stuff all over the house--some new ideas, some oldies but goodies. Have a look! (If you know where something should go, you don't have to decide where to put it every time you see it someplace where it shouldn't be.)
Like a book that you are in the middle of reading--where do you put it so you don't misplace it? Where do you keep your catsup? Your salt and pepper? Your tea towels? Your oven mitt? Your chocolate--oh wait, who loses chocolate? http://home.ivillage.com/homekeeping...lh5n7q,00.html

I used to be active on the iVillage Get Organized boards, very cool people there, lots of hints and helps, and a G.O. Challenge twice a year.
Speaking of, what happended to our Domestic Policy daily thread?

Oy. I have a few places- under my bed, in the fridge - and I put things there. Like my purse. 
I need more places, fewer things, and a label maker. And a maid.

Cindy, I thought you bought a label maker already?

Don't have time to read it right now, but I'm bookmarking it. We HAVE to get this house cleaned and organized or I'll lose the baby in it. |

Cool, Helen. It's so much fun to browse through organizing stores (I think one where we used to live was called Lechner's) and see all the novel ways they have to solve space problems. |

I worked for them for about three weeks. Most disorganized and dysfunctional environment I'd ever worked in and I couldn't wait to leave to work at Things Remembered next door.
