I get this question a lot: Where should I put clothes I’ve worn (so they’re not technically clean), but that aren’t actually dirty, so I want to wear them again? Usually, the question is followed by an explanation that these clothes end up piled on a chair. Or hanging on an unused treadmill. I get it. This is a problem. A real problem for … [Read more...]

Organizing Solutions Aren’t the (Actual) Solution – Decluttering My Scarves and Belts
A big part of my problem, pre-deslobification process, was not understanding how organizing solutions worked. Because they didn't work. At least they didn't work for me. And they definitely didn't work AT ALL like they did in the pictures on the package. I now know why. I wasn't accepting that any organizing solution, no matter how … [Read more...]
A Crazy Easy Necklace Organizing Solution (that actually works!)
Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best! Love this idea from one of you! Dana, I tried to use this cute jewelry tree for years for all my jewelry.

Strange Organizing Strategies that Work – Storing Food Containers
Does organizing your Tupperware cabinet make you crazy? Do you automatically cover your head every time you open the door to protect yourself from falling food storage containers? I get it. I've totally been there. I arranged and re-arranged and organized and re-organized that space so many times. It seemed that no matter what I did, the mess … [Read more...]
A Solution That Works! (Finally!!)
I wrote a post a while back about how I was giving up on how I wanted things to be and just going with how they are. I wanted that basket on the other side of the TV. So it wouldn't run the risk of hanging halfway off the side of the dresser. That never worked. As you can see in the top picture, the pile o' games and movies kept happening on … [Read more...]
Baskets? Oh. I Get it Now.
I used to think baskets would solve all my problems. So I bought them. And then bought some more. And a few more just in case. Then, I'd get home and the Organizing Energy I had before I left for the store was gone. The baskets would sit in their bags on the floor or on a shelf for . . . like . . . . forever. They became part of the … [Read more...]
Fighting Forgetfulness – A Back Door Command Station (and a Giveaway!)
This is a sponsored post, but the experiences, forgetfulness, and expired-last-year coupons are all mine! Surely I'll start the school year with more presence of mind than I had when the last one ended. Right?

The Messy Fridge Makeover (Using Fun New Products from the Home Collection by Post-it Brand and Scotch Brand)
The following decluttering/organizing project is a sponsored post: How is it that the single largest object in my kitchen somehow becomes invisible to me? School is about to start. (Blech.) Soon, we'll start collecting random notes and reminders to stick on the fridge, so it was time to look at it with fresh eyes and remove last year's … [Read more...]
