  • I went through my daughter's closet and separated and labeled everything. Most of the totes and baskets came from the dollar store.
  • I found these stackable wired shelves to be helpful with organizing shoes and creating a shelf for baskets.
  • I really love the combination of the baskets and the totes. I have had the brown baskets for a few years and they have held up fairly well.
  • I already had this little paint bucket. You can find these at any home improvement store. I used my Cricut to print off vinyl letters and threw travel size bottles and diaper bag stuff in it.
  • I found these free faux chalkboard customizable, printable labels from the internet and printed them off and used them for the totes.
  • We created the chalkboard labels for the basket with leftover scrap wood. I added a little ribbon to dress it up a bit.

Organizing a Toddler's Closet

I have really been wanting to get my house organized this spring. I have closets that are over-flowing with too much stuff. You know the kind that when you open the door everything come ...»
crashing down on you. :) My daughter's closet is probably the most used and unorganized closet in the house. Something had to be done with it, so a I spent a few afternoons sorting and purging out things she no longer needed. I added some totes and baskets from the dollar store and started labeling. It is such a great feeling to have that space organized. Please stop by my blog to see all of the before pictures.

  • Only 3 ingredients in this Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner

I love this recipe for Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner. With only three ingredients it is easy to use and costs only pennies per serving. I used it and my toilets were shining.

Removing toxins from my home without using chemicals is important, so this non toxic homemade toilet bowl cleaner is a winner. For those of you who don't like the smell of vinegar the Melaleuca essential oil will not only mask the smell but will also serve as a ...»

sanitizer.

I highly recommend this do it yourself recipe for Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner. I just added the baking soda, Melaleuca or Tee-Tree Essential Oil and then the vinegar and let it soak for about 10 minutes. I followed up by scrubbing it with my toilet bowl brush.

1/2 - 3/4 cup baking soda

8 - 10 drops tea-tree or melaleuca essential oil

1/2 - 3/4 cup distilled white vinegar

Pour Baking Soda directly into the toilet boil add oil, then vinegar - in this order.

Add Essential Oil

Let sit for 10 minutes then scrub boil with brush.

  • Re-thread the pull cord through all slats, replace plastic buttons on the bottom and presto!! 1

it in the shower. That way everything is ready to go. When you get in, wet the sponge, and scrub away. Next, well, take a shower. That's it. I do a little section of the shower each day and work my way around the whole area about twice a week.

If the mixture gets thick, just add a little water. Also, I would caution that it is important to rinse well, and keep out of eyes as you would any cleanser.
