Home Organizing Tips Before The Holidays

October 5, 2020

It’s already October and, just like every year, time seems to move fast as the holiday season draws near. Before you know it, December will be here and if you are just like other people, you would like to enjoy the festive season as much as you can and that’s why you have to start your organizing your home.

There’s so much buildup that comes with the holidays that you may wind up feeling overworked and overwhelmed rather than enjoying all of the parties, concerts, get togethers, events, and activities that come during this time of the year.

Fortunately, there are some home organizing tips before the holidays that can help reduce these feelings. Being prepared and organized lets the season go as smoothly as possible, which means you’ll get to relax more.

Home Organizing Tips

Christmas Decors and Wrapping Supplies

Now is the perfect time to go through all of your holiday decorations and wrapping supplies. Segregate all those that you have not used or no longer want to use and get rid of them. You can either donate them to charitable organizations prior to the holidays. It’s also a good idea to create a list of your wrapping supplies and decorations so you can avoid buying duplicates and overbuying when you’re out shopping.

Purse and Wallet

You are most likely going to do some shopping in the coming weeks. So, it’s best to get your wallet and purse in good shape. Go through all of your receipts and identify which ones to keep and throw away. It’s also a good idea to add a mini filodex or a small bag where you can place your new receipts in so they won’t’ overtake your purse or wallet when you are out shopping. Your wallet can easily be filled with cards. You should think of using an app on your mobile phone where you can store your card barcodes. That means you can leave your card’s hard copies at home. You should also take note of all the gift cards that you have and know how you can use them when you go Christmas shopping.

The Pantry

Make a list of what’s in your pantry and what you need to buy. You should also include a list of the ingredients that you use for your holiday baking. Get rid of expired or old food and take note of the ones that are nearing their expiration date. You can donate dry goods that you won’t use to a food bank in your local area. Prepare your pantry so it’s ready for you the holiday groceries.

Fridge and Freezer

Organizing your home for the holidays includes your fridge and freezer. Create an inventory of what you have in your freezer and fridge. Throw out old items and come up with plans on when to use the items that are nearing the expiration date. Create a list of staples that you no longer have or almost out of and make sure to stock up before the holiday season. Go through and pin the holiday recipes that you wish to try and think of giving them a test run before the holidays. Don’t forget to add those ingredients to the list of items you need to buy. You should also come up with a list of things that should be readily available in case guests drop by so you can easily offer them a drink or a snack. Easy to make snacks, wine, beer, soda waters, pop, teas, and coffee should be readily available during the holiday season.

Command Center

If you already have a command center for your calendar, filing, paper work, etc., then you have to make sure that your filing and calendar is updated with the activities and events for the coming holiday season.

Dresser and Closets

Purge all that items that you have not used for more than a year. This is the perfect opportunity to declutter your dresser and closet. Now is the best time to donate warm clothing and jackets to charity. You should check your dress clothes to find out if you need anything new to wear to some of the parties or events that you will be attending during the holiday season.

Guest Room and Guest Bath

If you have turned your guest room into a dumping room throughout the year, you need to go through all of it before the holidays. Deal with the clutter and prepare the room for your expected guests. Create an inventory and be sure that you are stocked with clean towels, bedding, and all homey necessities that you would like to provide your guests with in both the guest bathroom and bedroom.

Everybody makes mistakes and that is a fact. However, if you constantly lose track of your wallet, glasses, or keys, then your organization routine has broken down.

Sue White

declutter, home organizing, professional organizer home organizing

It’s back to school once again and things will start to become more hectic and stressful. Do you want to do it differently this year? Do you want to get rid of the stress and time wasters? Listed below are some back to school home organizing tips that will help keep your home running smoothly, clean, and organized.

Back To School Organization Ideas

Functional Entry Space For Storage

Control the chaos and clutter right at your home’s entrance, by making an entry that will catch everyone well before they get too far inside the house. Create a spot with a seat or bench where dirty shoes as well as other outdoor gears can be removed.

Add more hooks where jackets and backpacks can be hanged. Add the color coded or labeled baskets underneath the bench for the smaller items of every family member. The next morning, each of your family members will leave the house in a much smoother process. So make sure that all of you get into the habit of leaving all their things in their designated spot.

Create An Assigned Breakfast and Snack Station For Your Kids

Create a spot in your kitchen for your kid’s morning breakfast, after school snacks, and even lunches. This can be as simple as a drawer or a whole cabinet filled with food and drinks. This will depend on how big your kitchen is and the space you can allot for this section.

Create A Kitchen Homework Spot

The kitchen is considered as the heart of the home and that means it is a great place for you to set up a homework spot for your kids.

Sort Out Your Laundry Room

Sports and school uniforms, towels, and socks pile up quickly during school week. You should organize your home, especially your laundry room using dirty laundry baskets that are labeled into lights, colors, dark, as well as an emergency basket for things that are dirtier than usual and require immediate attention. You should ask everyone in your home to put their dirty laundry in the respective baskets. If they get into this habit, you no longer have to search in gym bags and under the bed for clothes that need washing. You can even save more time by putting clean items in respective baskets that each of your kids can bring back to their room and put away.

Create An Operations Command Center

Create a well organized command center. Set up a bulletin board, calendar, a place for your mail or paperwork, and a dry erase board for all your to-do lists.

August 20, 2020

Sue White

downsizing, home organizing, professional organizer downsizing

The services of senior move managers, whose work involve helping clients unclutter their homes and move, range from $40 to $125 per hour.

For some people, retirement downsizing does not involve long-planned move to a lavish condo or going through a lifetime of memorabilia and belongings that they accumulated over the past 20 years. Instead, the downsizing came unexpectedly and suddenly perhaps due to an illness, job loss, or some major personal or financial issue.

Many homeowners try to go through the tedious process of an emergency downsize on their own. But there is a growing number of people who are getting the assistance of experts in home organizing.
