Storage Solutions from Snapware

My est organizng tip i to use clear storage containers so you cn alway see what's inside and how much is lef! Also, make sure everything has a pace an that everythng is in it's place! The whole family knows where the item goes, puts it back and therefore anyone can always find it!

TO STAY ORGANIZED, PUT THINGS AWAY EACH DAY.WHERE THEY BELONG.

My best organization tip is to do a little everyday. If you put things away as you go through them then they will be where you need them to be!

My best tip is to always put something away immediately after using it. It makes my life so much easier if I do that.

Before you go shopping for more detergent, more cleaning supplies, etc. Look in your storage shelves. And "shop" from your organized shelves. I organize by type of supply: hand soap, dishwasher detergent, etc. Then you can tell at a glance if you need some, or already have some.

I would love to try this product for my family but more importantly for my home daycare. What a wonderful idea that so concerns itself with our future.

My advice is to get rid of the things that you gave not used or wore in the past 2 years.. and to organize other things I box seasonal items and clearly mark the boxes so its easy to find.. I use little hooks to hang thing that you I use often in the kitchen and I also have a hook for keys so I know where they are :)

I don;t think larger and more storage areas is the answer to storage. Because of the economy i have been forced to downsize. I am more organized now then in my big house but I got rid of everything other then the basics. So my tip is get rid of 75% of your stuff, you don't use it anyway. And I know you have heard it before.

I recently moved into a larger apartment with a walk in closet and pantry. It feels luxurious after my last apartment. I was able to get bins at Ikea to organize my clothes. Love them!

use an over the door shoe/slipper holder for snacks

I use old baby food jars to store a lot of my craft items, like buttons, brads, safety pins- they works perfectly for those little items!

Thanks!

This is so basic, but I label EVERYthing that goes in the freezer. But I use a whiteboard marker on the outside of the tupperware lid so it is all re-writable.

Color code things! Put small covered dots on toys that correspond with a colored toy bin. It makes it fun and easy for children to put things back where they belong.

I use old plastic containers (you know the ones you have lost or damaged the lids) to store small "like" items in. My cake decorating items in one. I just reach up and pull the container down and it's all right in the tub. No hunting around at the last minute. Seasoning packet go in one. This works great in the sewing room too.

I have one cabinet that is tucked into a hard to reach corner. I cataloged everything that is in that cupboard, listed them on a sheet of paper for each of the two shelves, and put it on the inside of the cabinet door. Now I know where to get the item that I really want, and it makes sure the kids put them away in their proper place.

I organize everything with plastic storage bins. You can put labels on them so that you know where everything is. From bills, to the kids games etc..... plastic storage bins work great!!!

The tip that has made my life much easier is that I organize my kids' small toys that have lots of pieces into bins with lids, and then label them. All the bins can easily be stacked on top of each other on shelves and keeps everything from getting lost. We have a rule that only one bin can be out at a time. To get another bin, the first one has to be cleaned up and put away before another one comes down.
For example, Lego's are a huge pain to keep up with. Just get a plastic bin at Walmart, Target, Dollar store, etc and put all the lego's in it. They work great for art supplies, too!
Another tip to do, if you have young kids or toddlers, when you label the bins, put a picture of the items next to the name of the toy, that way kids that cannot read yet can still tell what that specific bin is for.

we have cloth hampers in every closet where we put the dirty clothes. On laundry day I just pick the all up. No excuse for my kids to leave them spread out

My organization tip is keep only what you need and use and donate or sell whatever item you have not used or wore in the past year.

I have 8 children so I always take a sharpie with me everywhere. It helps to write the kids names on there items and keep them organized. Cups, bags of candies, anything they might get while we are out and about.

We use clear storage containers or label containers (indicating the contents)
With food storage, I'm certain to rotate and always use older food first.
For organizing life in general, I try to get rid of things that I don't need to keep. and, I maintain a calendar of my kids' activities (color-coded by child)
Thanks for the giveaway.

We put up shelves in every room to help us organize!

can always use extra storage help

I color code and label, keep designated areas for specific things and always put them where they belong.

my tip is to keep it clean. If everything is clean it should be organized, or at least look like it is!

Love stacking containers - they take up much less room and are great to keep things organized! Really like the dinnerware containers - it would make it ideal for the evenings that I have to be out and can leave my daughter's gluten free diner already prepared and ready for her to eat without having to take it from several containers!

Don't overthink it! If you're anything like me, it's easy to experience organization exhaustion, so these are tips for the lazy organizer. Sorting every little thing makes me want to give up on organizing my things altogether. Instead, keep more general organizational spaces available. For instance, I keep all my flatware in one drawer, but don't organize it at all. It doesn't take me any longer to find a spoon than it would if they were sorted. I do the same thing with office supplies and writing utensils. All in the same area, but not separated. I have found I have to work with my laziness, not against it!

PS: The only place this doesn't apply is in the fridge. Tupperware makes cooking and storing food sooo much neater.

I use stackable container, they are also easier to store.

These are great--perfect for those Thanksgiving leftovers!!

One tip that I have to help keep the kids organized (we have 5--so they have sooo much stuff!)-is that we have a container for each one to keep in their rooms. It's big enough to hold their backpacks and whatever else they need for school-they even put in their shoes and clothes they are wearing the next day. As soon as I sign papers or give them clean gym clothes, etc.--I tell them to put it right in their bin. So, when it's time to get out the door for the bus in the morning, they're not running around like crazy looking for their stuff.

Thanks for the opportunity mom central!

Use under the bed containers for little toys

Always put things back where they belong immediately

Use stackable containers!!

I use a lot of clear ziploc bags to store things in, everything from the tiny snack bags up to the giant freezer bags. Since they are clear, it's easy to see what's in the bag before you even open it!

My best tip would be to tackle things as they come up, funny as that sounds. I'm trying to get organized here, and have found I've have waited so long, I don't know where to begin, I am so lost. So I would say, put everything in it's place every day, so you don't get frustrated like me, lol. These would come in so handy, tired of plastic wrap!!

creating various lists

I keep a medium tote with handles at the bottom of the stairs. During the day we toss things in the tote that belong upstairs. At the end of the day we take the tote upstairs and put everything away. It keeps the stairs from becoming a cluttered mess of things that need to go up!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Seems I was always forgetting my to-do list or quick-trip grocery list, so now I text the info to myself! I rarely forget my phone and it's easy to delete afterwards.

I have a special box that I use for my blogging giveaways that I win and then the ones I review and the ones that I have completed. I also print all my emails with that giveaway once it is over so that I have who my contact with a company was and their email address. It also saves space on my computer. Getting up to 300 emails a day is too much to keep on file so I found this works the best for me.

Getting organized is a challenge, but I find that I am happier when things are in order.

I run a home business as a mark representative, and I have my bookshelf stocked with mark products and containers that separate the items and keeps them organized. I have different shelves allocated for different items of my business, it makes sending packages easier and being able to grab things as needed.

It's not the best tip ever- but it works for me. I use Ziplock bags for just about anything. I have 1 yo twins and a 2/5yo so eating out/playdates/dr appts- everything goes in a ziplock and can be organized.

Containers that stack??? Gotta love em!

this would be great for the holidays. best tip:put dates on everything!

I have always used storage bins of all sizes. For things that I use a lotI use clear bins so I can see wht's in them.

Each member of my family has their own clipboard in the kitchen. All important papers go on the clipboard. Then, when I need to remember what special my son has or when the next PTO meeting is, I just go to the clipboard.

I love my Brother P-Touch label maker for organizing..just about everything! Fron DVD's to Art Supplies :)

I am really bad at organization. My husband always says the best way to start changing that is to put something back immediately after you are done with it. Of course I don't listen half the time but I am working on it ;)

I could really use some new storage containers!! Thanks for the giveaway :D

my favorite is to color code & label everything!

These are great storage containers. I love being organized. Thanks for sharing.

My best organization tip is that you should put everything back when u are done with it.
