Organization is Key!

Those who really know me, know I like to be organized! I thought I would share just how anal I am about being organized. Being organized and tupperware bins are my friend! :) I could start with the paci holder on the crib, but we have covered that in a previous post - so I will move around the room.





This is Liliana's closet - I have a sweater holder and a shoe organizer - both filled with tupperware bins which make for a drawer type storage. Obviously you can see a lot of blankets on the right and on the left I have burp rags and socks...some extra pacis that Liliana does not like and a bin for instruction booklets and a few empty bins.










These would clearly be her bibs. It is nice to have them in one spot and ready to be picked up and put on. It is nice to not be going through almost all of these in a day! LOL.















It really frustrates me that blogger decides to upload my pictures whichever way it chooses - but you can plainly see the small container (bought at the dollar store, set of 3) which holds the Q-tips that need to be easily accessible to pick little nostrils.












Here we have the bottom of the changing table - of which we no longer use the changing table as a changing table - we just sit on the floor. So to the right are the diapers...next to that are some socks and shoes...a toy and a diaper that Liliana can play with instead of crying while I change her...and then the extra diapers.




99% of the time, Liliana is fed in the rocker that is in the living room - so here is the bin of burp rags next to the chair for such occasions. In that bin I also have a pair of her nail clippers so that when the opportunity arises to cut her nails - I do not blow it by getting up to get the clippers. And yes, the chapstick is always there for me!



Here is a simple idea - it is just an empty lunchmeat container that we put on the microwave which is by the sink - so when pacis fall on the floor & bottle nipples are dirty, they get put in here until the dishes are done. This way things do not sit in the sink (yuck) and that way they will not fall into the garbage disposal - which has happened. And then it is just known that they are dirty.




Ah, the Liliana kitchen cabinet - the top shelf contains some odds and ends. The middle shelf is for her bowls, bottle liners, and baby food - of which is organized. Dinners on the right, then meats, then veggies (of which are organized by green and orange - every other of course so she does not change colors on us!) :) And then fruits. The bottom shelf is for the formula, bottles, and cereal - then the other 2 containers from the dollar store hold the bottle nipples and the rings - I guess that is what I will call them.

In here you will see that the top bin is for shoes that Liliana will grow into, the next bin is for plastic bottles that we do not use, and the last bin has glass bottles that we no longer use - as if you could not figure that out by reading the label.



When we are in the office we need stuff in this room so we do not always have to go searching for things. So I bought these little pop up containers from Target and I have some blankets and burp rags in one (which we rarely use since she is older and I could probably fill it with books or something more useful) and toys in the other - and then I have a little container for pacis so they are always handy in here.


Now we can move to my stuff-

I bought these containers at Target and as you can see you can get them in different sizes - and so they help keep my desk orgazined! (Yes, there is pretty much chapstick staged everywhere in our house!)





This is in the office closet - another buy at Target. It could use some straightening up - but that is for another day. I have bins for cards and bins of cards inside of those bins - I have bins of office stuff - so on and so forth.
















And this is how we store our bulbs and batteries.





So those are some of the ways I stay organized - and that keeps me sane!
