Organizing Tip #2-Labeling

Get crazy with labels! I really believe that one way to keep your home organized is for everything to have a place. If you don't have a place for something, it gets left out and starts the clutter! I have a p-touch labeler that I love but you can use whatever you like to label with. Avery labels and a marker work well too! Pick an area that tends to get messy and cluttered and tackle it first. Try to do one area a day until you feel like your clutter areas are gone! My pantry is filled with labels. The shelves have labels all along the sides to show where certain foods go. The cans and boxes go in their spots in neat rows.


You can also use cute baskets or containers as well. Our downstairs closet was an area that quickly became a dumping ground, right by the back door. Now it is organized with bins and labels.

I have a bin for fall/winter items (hats, scarves, gloves), spring items (ponchos, umbrellas), summer items (sunscreen, water toys, sun hats). So, get busy labeling!
