Filing Laundry Instead of Stacking!!!

I came across the following post from Brandy at gluesticksblog.com! This makes so much more sence to me! Everything is visible and you don't have to dig!

This is what my boy’s drawer’s looked like until I saw the light. Maybe this was only new to me, but I had ALWAYS stacked my kid’s clothes into their drawers. It started in neat stacks, but after a couple of days of them rummaging through them, it ended up like the picture above. I was  too lazy to re-fold all of the clothes, so I joined with them in just stuffing and jamming the drawers shut.

The result? Totally forgetting about the clothes on the bottom of the drawer.

They pulled out the stuff on top, wore it, washed it, and I put it back on the top…..

A friend shared this tip with me a few years ago.  I tried it out and ended up with neatly organized drawers in 15 minutes, and so much more room! Now the boys (Aaron’s drawers are pictured) can see exactly what is in their drawers and neatly pull it out. I will never go back to stacking their clothes again!

If I really cared, and I don’t, I could color coordinate them and fold the undies for an even more organized look. But this works for us.

 

Thanks again Brandy!
