Organizing with Bins and Labels

I love being organized! I could spend all day organizing something in my house! Some might classify my need to be organized a sickness, but I can't help how good it feels when I finish organizing something!

I am not claiming to have an immaculate house where everything has a place- I am the first to admit I have piles of "things" and corners of items without a home. But I thought I would post these pictures of some of the things in my house that happen to be very organized- thanks to some handy vinyl labels and the makers of the IKEA plastic bins. Maybe it will inspire you to tackle that closet you haven't been able to walk in since you moved into your house!

Here is my pantry. I LOVE MY PANTRY!


I have 3 shelves of bins that you can pull out to see everything inside! Best part about this pantry is whenever Ethan and Leah want a snack, I say, "Go to the snack bin" and they are allowed to pick anything inside there, which takes the whinning out of why they can't have cookies and candy instead.

Here is my preschool station!

Doing preschool from home means you have to keep everything organized so that your home can still be for your family and not become overrun by your business.


This is in Ethan's room.

Clean up is a breeze when everything has a place!

This is Leah's closet:

and Leah's shelf of toys.

I know some of you might think I am crazy, but tell me a better way to be this organized and I will entertain the idea of switching systems. For now, I like my bins and labels!
