Whiskey in a Teacup: Book Review and Life Lessons
Ya'll know that when I need inspiration I put my phone away and grab a beautiful book. My most recent read was Whiskey In a Teacup by Reese Witherspooon.
She has the secret…
“The key to a harmonious & clutter free living area, especially when you have kids, is to HIDE everything. I’m talking about closets everywhere, drawers on everything and ottomans that are really storage chests.”
This can not be more true! It reminds me of a storage system I used for a little boy's bedroom:
This easy to assemble & classic look makes the perfect dresser! These drawers guide the child to know what is where and how to find it. Add the labels and you’ve got a real win-win.
What leads Reese to say the above quote is that she embraces the crazy & wild that come with kids and animals.
Having young children myself keeps my outlook on organizing very GROUNDED.
Organizing “systems” (drawers, containers & more) are the key to maintaining order & clutter free living. I use a LOT of drawer dividers, lazy susans, and labels and am constantly asked to share where I find most of my go-to items.
So I've put all of my favorite organizing items into one Amazon list for you to shop:
The BEST thing you can remember about being organized with a busy life of kids and animals - have realistic expectations.
Organizing isn’t one-and-done…..it takes maintenance & you must give yourself grace.
It’s not going to be perfect all the time, but adding systems & bins can help maintain order.
All the best, Marge
