Closet Love

 I may or may not suffer from a slight case of OCD. This becomes quite apparent when you take a look at my closets. Beyond needing things to look "in place" I find that it makes things run a lot smoother.

I start by always using the same hangers. It looks more streamline. I also face all my clothes the same way, and order them by color and sleeve size. Doing this allows me to really know what clothes are dirty or missing. I can also tell what color I have been wearing too much of.

I like to organize the kids toys in buckets. It helps in the cleaning process. I teach my kids YOUNG that things have a place. They also are only supposed to get one bucket out at a time (we are still working on this with Tana).

The one area that I have REALLY had to let go is the kids' movies. We allow them to stay in Landon's room so they are easily acceptable. For the longest time I was checking several times a day to make sure they were still in alphabetical order, which they usually were not. It was a little too much. I had to let it go! I just try not to think about it...

Now for the best part: my closets really do look like this the majority of the time. My kids know the system and it makes for a lot less clutter!
