What works for me when organizing was to have a home for things. The one thing that really bothered me a lot was when my daughter came in she would just put her knapsack in a corner and then snowpants and whatever else she was bringing in. It got to be such a mess I was continually cleaning it up. So what I did was went out and bought two baskets with lids.
One holds her knapsack and I dont see it the other just holds mitts and miscellaneous things . The corner is so neat and I love it ! One less spot to see clutter. So the moral of this story is mom
is happy and the clutter is contained. I will post a pic later today.

I need to do this. I currently have a big pile of junk right on the landing of our stairs...
It just makes it look so much neater. Also if the stuff does not fit then it goes somewhere else.
Mom happy, clutter contained. Sounds perfect to me!
Yes the best way is to contain the clutter or hide it depending on how you look at it. :)
In my book, any solution that makes Mom happy is a good one. If you add the bonus of keeping clutter out of sight (and subsequently out of mind), you may have just achieved perfection.
Thanks for such a great tip!
