CohabiTOT – living stylishly with children

We all make new year’s resolutions…to lose weight, get in shape, etc.  For me it always puts me into hyper-organization mode.  I have been tackling closets, donating old clothes, passing along outgrown children’s clothes,etc.  I live in an old house….aka bad closet space. This means I have to be diligent or things get out of control quickly!

Here are some additional  things I did:

1. I donated stuffed animals to Memorial Sloan Kettering Children’s Center

2. I sold one of my FOUR toy chests on a local blog. (Montclair Parents of Multiples)

3.  I continue to scan Alan’s artwork into his blurb book.

4.  I donate some books to used book store.

The feeling is awesome! I can find things again and my whole attitude is calmer during the morning rush!

The best thing I did  was I have a dedicated bag for each child by the back door for their hats, gloves, etc.  I  do not   have room for shelves, cubes etc. So this was a great solution.  The bags hang on a peg rail and now I have a place for their items! (and my son’s back pack is reserved for his homework)

I would love to hear your tricks to staying on top of the clutter!
