We are finally getting unburied ourselves! I love plastic bins. I have them in every closet: in the bathroom to organize all of our products. I have a bin for Matt's stuff, for nail and foot stuff, for hair stuff, makeup, etc. Under the bathroom sink I have stuff organized in bins for cleaners, first aid, etc. In the kitchen I have bins in the pantry closet organizing small items and on my lower shelves with places for plastic containers, baking stuff, etc. I use bins in my closet organizing t-shirts, pants, turtlenecks, etc. I have shoe organizers hung inside each closet door, not for shoes but for socks, underwear, etc. to free up drawer space for clothes. In Luke's room, I have one to organize lotions, medicines, small toys, bath stuff, etc. I just bought a wrapping paper organizer to organize that stuff and freed up a drawer. It hangs in the front closet. I love big Lots, you can buy lots of cheap bins there. I also use alot of baskets, it hides clutter. Every now and then I have to go thru them and reorganize. I also have found that if I roll up shirts in drawers it uses less space and they are less wrinkely, especially in Luke's drawers. There are great shows on HGTV also, that I've gotten lots of tips from. Also orgjunkie.com I can't wait to get our shelves and organize the toys, they are driving me crazy!!! Good luck!

Matt and I were just commenting on how normally after the May crazies we have a break but haven't this year. We did have a semi-relaxing weekend this past week although we made a trip to Sams and Holly was home but nothing too crazy! Have a good week!
