Organizing Tip Tuesday-A little jar

 

Hey out there!  I hope everyone is having a fantastic week.  Summer is in full swing here and the kids are loving it!

My tip for today is jars for organizing.  I think it is pretty obvious these things are a great organizing tool.  You can use them for so many things: pencils, make-up brushes, cooking utensils and the list goes on and on. 

I decided to use this little jar I had lying around the house for cotton balls.  It sits on a shelf in the bathroom.  We have a small space bathroom, so little organizing tools work great in there for us.  I like that the jar has a lid that seals too. 

Have a great week and take some Time to Organize! 

Organizing Tip Tuesday

Here is a quick organizing tip: Think Outside the Box!
I was not using these sugar bowls for sugar, so why not for chalk and q-tips!
Look for things around your home that you can use to make a space organized.  Get Creative and Think Outside the Box.

Turntable Organizing

 

I cannot believe how fast this year is going by.  Summer is almost here and they means half of the year is behind us.  Time certainly does fly by. 

A couple of months ago I mentioned in a blog post about living a minimalist lifestyle.  Now, we am far from doing this but my family and I are on the path to living this type of lifestyle.  It is really tough!  I am basically going room by room and getting rid of things that just are not needed.  This can be tough when sometimes you might use something and other times it sits on a shelf for six months.  I am determined for our family though to learn how to live with less and be happy about it.  I will share here over time how we are doing.  I subscribe to Becoming Minimalist here: http://www.becomingminimalist.com/.  This site has been really helpful and there are great links there too!

Now for that wicky wacky turntable.  So my spices for cooking have been slowly building and my little spice cabinet was just not able to hold everything anymore!  So I thought about finally getting a turntable.  It is the first one I have bought and it is awesome!  I got this clear plastic one at Target(in the bathroom section) on clearance for $8.00.  Not bad.  It took me about five minutes to put it to good use!

There you go!  We love it!  Super easy organization and with very little cost!  That’s how I like it!! 

Be on the lookout for my Organizing Tip Tuesdays!  Have a great week and take some Time to  Organize.
