Stop standing & staring into your closet...

I have done it WAY too many times and it is an awful feeling: can't find what to wear, tried on a dozen things, didn't like them, threw them in the floor, and became even more frustrated as the search continued on.... (not to mention the fact that our bedroom ends up looking like a tornado ran through it)

Set aside one day a week to get your outfits ready for the upcoming week. I do this on Sunday. I pick out my clothes for each day of the week, iron them, and hang them (in order) in a special section of my closet. I also do this for both of my children.

I have this awesome organizer in William's (my soon-to-be three year old) closet. Got it at Lowe's.


Wade's (my five month old) clothes are so little and usually don't need ironing, so I just put them in order and stack them in his bottom dresser drawer.

So, each morning all I have to do is pull out the clothes and get everyone dressed. This little task does take some time out of my Sunday afternoon, BUT I have never regretted getting our clothes prepared for the upcoming week. (I only do this for Monday-Friday. I do lay out our clothes for Sunday morning each Saturday night as well.)

Remember: Getting organized will most of the time cost you time upfront, but it usually ends up saving you some time down the road.
