Due to limited drawer and closet space, I have come up with a routine that I learned from my own mom. This is a way to help keep you organized. It always seems to me that I feel better the more organized and tidy my house is. Being a single mom with two little boys, there is a beautiful mess in my home all the time. So I like to clear out unneeded clutter when I can.<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Items Needed:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Boxes or Totes<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Markers or Labels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Directions:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Go through each person\u2019s clothing individually and pull out the clothing they will not be wearing for the upcoming season. Also, this is a good time to pull out items that you no longer need, or no longer fit. You can save them for a garage sale or donate them to a friend or to a non-profit agency, like Goodwill or Salvation Army.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Put the clothes in a box. I always use a separate box for each family member. If you would like, you can use the plastic totes with lids to store the items.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Label the boxes or totes with the person\u2019s name and what clothing is inside. Example: &#8220;Tristan\u2019s Summer Clothes&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Store the boxes out of the way,\u00a0until they are needed again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope you find this <span class=\"GINGER_SOFATWARE_noSuggestion GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct\">decluttering<\/span>\u00a0tip helpful.
