2018 Top Ten Organizing Products

Happy 2018! It is yet another year to try to get organized in your home and with your life. Organizing your home often takes the purchase of products such as containers, bins, and baskets. Products serve to maximize space, containerize items, and give a cluttered area a polished look.

When deciding on a product purchase, we all love to read the reviews of others, or get a recommendation from someone we trust before buying it. To help guide you as the new year begins, I have asked for recommendations from our Get Organized! professional organizers and our staff members. Some of the products mentioned may not be an actual container, but could aid you in getting organized. I will share my favorite organizing tools also.

Tips on How to Encourage Kids to do Chores

I was recently asked to share my thoughts on helping parents find practical solutions for involving their children in chores and responsibilities around their home.  Disclaimer to the parents reading this post: It takes effort, consistency and sometimes being the “bad guy” in your kid’s mind. The conversations I have regularly with parents asking for help in this area are numerous, and it has become evident to me that it is a continuing challenge for families.

Let’s talk about why having your child help around the home is so important. Over the last 20-30 years, it seems more and more parents are not requiring or teaching their children to do much around the home. Excuses for this are plenty: “the kids are too busy,” “it’s easier for me to do it myself then have the kids do it,” “they don’t do a good job,” “I just don’t like fighting with them to get them to do it,” and the list goes on.
