In our house, we have realized that a happy house, has a lot to do with organization.  Our house isn’t full of stuff and we’ve set limits on toys for kids and as we get new things most times we purge older things to the Goodwill or Value Village.

Here are some great products and tips to keep your kids rooms organized and tidy, which means mornings will be a lot smoother for the whole family.

For our little girls room, I love the Cupcake Storage from the Joey and Jane Collection from KangaRoom.   There is nothing yummier than these hold-alls. These 2 storage bags are perfect for all sorts of items, including socks, hair ribbons, headbands, Legos, doll clothes, stuffed animals, art/craft supplies, school supplies, games, photos, belts and more. We have used it as toy storage bags as well as clothing storage bags.   We took it on vacation with us, to help keep our room neat and tidy while away!

To keep the kids closets organized the days of the week hanging shelves have five separate compartments for outfits for every day of the school week, after school activities and sports uniforms. They also have elastic side pockets for shoes, socks, underwear and accessories.  

A great idea is to get the week’s worth of clothes and things needed for the week ready on the weekend.  It only takes a few minutes are saves everyone time on Monday morning.

KangaRoom offers amazing products from everything from your babies nursery to your office. If you are looking to get organized it’s a great place to shop, with wonderful customer service.

Every mom-to-be has so many things to keep track of! There are appointment dates, lists of things to do and buy, preparing for childbirth and baby, it can be very overwhelming.

While I love my Blackberry, I still need to write everything down as well.  And I love these day planners from Sarah Pinto.  These durable planners measure 5” by 7”, perfect for your desk or purse.

They are made with high-quality recycled paper, soy-based ink and they are printed and bound in San Francisco, California. With five unique cover designs, Sarah Pinto’s 2009 Weekly Planners are a stylish, eco-friendly answer to your busy everyday schedule.  We love that Sarah donates a portion of the profit from one of her stylish planners to heart research.   

My favourite is the blue horeshoe design with the caption, “This is my lucky year”!
