My Favorite Organizing Essentials

I get asked quite a bit what are my favorite organizing essentials. Admittedly, there are more than a few, but here are my top 5! Enjoy!
  • Huggable Hangers: you will be AMAZED at how much space you save by switching over to these hangers. Not only because when you use the same type of hanger it creates consistency, but also because you can use cascading hooks to "waterfall" multiple garments (see photo above).
  • Erasable Labels & Chalk Markers: never underestimate the power of a label. The amount of time and frustration saved by clearly knowing what is stored where is priceless! Use as many bins, baskets, buckets etc...as your little heart desires, but please use a label. Even when it comes to clear containers, a label makes "clear" what the eyes sometimes miss! And, my absolute favorite are erasable ones that you can repurpose when necessary...use in conjunction with chalk markers!
  • Lazy Susan: they are not just for tabletops! Use these in cabinets (especially hard to reach corner cabinets), fridges, under sink areas and hard to reach top shelves. They can even beautifully corral kitchen essentials, as shown here on Inspiration for Moms blog.  
  • ​Tiered Shelving: this is an absolute must for your spices! It makes it super easy to see what you have, and find it when you need it! This one is my absolute favorite...find it here on Amazon!
  • ​Pantry Food Storage Containers: not only do these help to keep your food fresh, but they also help to save space and prevent you from buying things you may not need. I'm a huge fan of being able to see how much of something I have, especially when it comes to pantry items. Just remember to use your labels so that everyone in your household can put things away in their proper place! Here's a great set to get you started from The Container Store!​
