You know that little space in your kitchen... the one that gets trashed by everything as soon as anyone comes home?!?! Yes, THAT one. No matter what you do to keep it clean, neat and orderly, somehow, candy wrappers, school papers, junk mail, bills, magazines, socks, jackets, toys and other odds and ends end up here. Well... one solution is to just trash everything! And believe me, I have been tempted to do this, MANY times! :)
The other option is to create a little "command center." If you have time (and energy...
and gumption), you can purchase a nice, organizational wall hanger or box... hey, even a file holder works to sort through papers, and they have some decorative ones or fun ones to fit your decor!
Another simple, quick method to get those papers to cooperate is to get some clothespins, write some helpful labels on them, and just pinch all that stuff together until you have a moment to look through and sort everything!
AND... of course, y'all know I love baskets and bins. But a few, and throw things in there so they are out of site but still easily accessible!
Finally, purchase some fun, useful dry erase or chalk panels so you can keep track of menus, phone numbers, to-do lists, appointments and events and still have room to write down a motivational quote or an "I love you because..." Uppercase Living offers so many wonderful options. Click

Now, THAT's neat!

I recently purchased 2 of these little cabinet organizers and put them to immediate use. Now my pesky pouches and packets are well behaved... and easy to find. AND... since they are all rounded up and in clear view, it makes it easier for me to see what I have... and what quick meal or snack I can whip up for kids or company!
