Once you have a system with solid structure in place it’s easy to keep it maintained. Whether you have 1 child or 6 children, all of the toys that they will use and love can fit into that system. My favorite product to help create structure is a cubby shelf from Ikea because it can transition with kids from the toddler to the teen stage. This rule most definitely applies to toys. One of my favorite universal organizing sayings is, “you can only fit 10 ounces of coffee in a 10 ounce cup”. I’m a firm believer in setting up a system and using that system to help you quantify what you have room for will help you quality the clutter and ultimately let go. With all of the different shapes and colors that toys and teen clutter have it’s important to use uniform storage and bins to create a more organized feel. I love to use products to help create organizational systems and the spaces for children often need them most. If you think your children are “hoarders” or “packrats” you most likely have something to do with that.Ĭhildren love structure and visibility. She said, “I have 2 toddlers that are sentimental over their baby toys and won’t let me get rid of them.” My response to her was, “You are the one who is sentimental over their baby toys, not your children.” The ability to let-go and make organizational decisions is taught, it is not genetic. I recently had a client email me for help with the playroom at her new home. I encourage you to be inspired to identify what makes you happy, create goals of how you want to live, purge what you can live without and add what brings you joy. This series is called Live with what you LOVE. I work with clients everyday on the art of letting go but I also give them the push to dive in and add items that bring them joy. Love is in the air this February and I have a new organizing blog series to go along.
