Home Organization Tips – 15 Easy Changes Even the Most Unorganized Person Can Make
It’s a new year and time for a fresh start! If you follow me on my blog, you might know that I’m not always the most organized person. With four busy kids, an active schedule, homeschooling, and working from home, there’s just always something else I’d rather do than clean and organize my house. But I am slowly learning that organization systems can save me big! We’ve put together 15 easy changes that even the most unorganized person can make to gain a little order and control at home to help us all.
How to Organize Your Kitchen
Organize Measuring Spoons & Cups – Simply {Darr}ling – I love this idea. I have friends who do this and it’s amazing. I don’t have any upper cabinets in my kitchen, but if I did, I would do this for sure.
Organize your fridge with bins – Four Generations One Roof – I love the fridge bins. I actually starting using them when we lived in the barn and they really tidy up the fridge and make it look nice. I highly recommend these fridge and freezer bins by InterDesign. They really help keep my fridge cleaner and tidier.
Easy DIY Weekly Menu Board – Play Party Pin – Another great way to bring organization to your fridge is with a control board as a place to keep track of necessary grocery shopping and the weekly menu board. It’s on my list to make my own! Another task for 2016.

Decluttering
I have learned in the 18 years of my adult life that having fewer possessions is key to a tidy house. I can’t say I’ve got it under control, but decluttering is a priority in my life and I add things to my get rid of pile every day. If I didn’t my house would be overrun with junk, plain and simple. I’m afraid it would look like something our of that Hoarders TV show. Okay, hopefully it wouldn’t be that bad, but the point is, I have to make choices each and every day about what to keep and what to get rid of. Having fewer possessions, means fewer things to pick up and put away and helps keep the daily crap shuffling to a minimum.
