Simply Clutter Free: Day 14

Jan 20 | Household Tips, Organization

In our newish home, I now have a desk, but the girls are the ones who use it right now for making crafts and colouring. My husband also has a desk that tends to get cluttered up with toys because it’s in our basement where most of the toys are. So today, I’ll tidy them up and make sure all the random items are in their proper place.

Also, one of my big projects that I’d like to get done one day is to complete five years worth of photo books. I’m seriously the worst at getting pictures developed and books made. But I’ve been trying to keep up with keeping photos organized on my computer, but I’m sure my husband’s phone still has some that I need to put on my computer.  I’ve been thinking of using Shutterfly or Photobook Canada for the photo “yearbooks”. They seem to always have a deal. 

What’s the state of your desk? How do you organize your digital photos? Do you have any great systems in place that help?

Simply Clutter Free: Day 13

Jan 17 | Household Tips, Organization

Ya’ll, I am not looking forward to today’s task. I’m not sure why, but I’m pretty sure it’s all the cords. I don’t like dealing with the cords and figuring out which device they below to. So in an effort to make this easier in the long run, I’m going to label each cord!

While I technically have our electronic stuff “organized” since it’s all in one box, we have added a few new things to our electronics inventory this year that I know are not in that box. I’m also sure there are some random cords that don’t belong to anything and batteries that are dead lying around somewhere.

Here are a few links I found on Pinterest with ideas for organizing electronics:

Have an old cell phone you’d like to recycle? Check out Recycle My Cell for drop off locations. Read the FAQ’s for all the details you need to ensure your privacy is protected.

Will you join me today in organizing your electronic stuff?

Simply Clutter Free: Day 12

Jan 16 | Household Tips, Organization

I always said that once we’re in a bigger home, I hope to not store things under the beds. But… some things just work under there really well! Like the cushions for our deck chairs and wrapping paper/gift bags.

Today, I’m going to take care of the dust bunnies, and organize things underneath the beds. I think I’m even storing some pictures/paintings that I’ve been meaning to hang the walls. I’ll see how ambitious I feel, they may even end up on the wall by the end of the day. 🙂

I want to know, do you store stuff under your bed? Or do you have empty space underneath?
