November Organizing Tip
Winter is coming; start to plan now so that you can easily corral winter gear come cold weather. Here are several suggestions for “containing” hats, gloves, boots, etc.:
- Use an over-the-door shoe organizer that has plastic or mesh pockets. Each family member can have one or more pockets (or rows) labeled with their name. Hats, mittens, and scarves can fit into the pockets. If you have small children, make sure their pockets are closest to the floor! Boots can be lined up on a closet floor or in a garage.
- Assign each family member a stacking drawer in which to place all winter accessories. The drawers can be stacked so that boots can be placed on top of the drawers.
- If the coat closet is not close to the point of entry into your home, consider hanging some hooks behind the entry door. If you don’t want permanent hooks in that location, use and over-the-door hooks on the door for the season.
