Contain Yourself: 3 Storage Ideas That Will Save You Time and Hassle

Weekly wardrobe
Streamline morning routines by having kids pick out an entire week’s worth of outfits every Sunday evening. Place the complete outfits into their own bins, along with any coordinating hats and accessories, and label the containers for the days of the week. Children will appreciate the control over their clothing options while you enjoy one less morning stress.

Rotation of toys
Along with using large decorative baskets to hide your children’s favorite toys when not in use, you can also stash some big-ticket items in the closet, and bring one into rotation every week or two. That way, the toys don’t lose your children’s attention quite as quickly, and they seem more special when they are brought back out.

Out-of-sight electronics
Designate a bin where all electronics (including chargers and attachments) can live when they are not in use, and keep the container out of reach on top of the refrigerator or in a cabinet. This way, you can monitor usage and make sure there is a healthy balance that fits your family’s lifestyle.
