\"fall<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summer is wrapping up and fall weather is coming soon! While we are all hoping for an early dip in the temperature, we can get started organizing for fall. Here is a short list of 5 spots to tackle for fall organizing. Getting organized now will save you time this fall when you are busy with activities, sports, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edit summer items then bring in fall attire.<\/h3>\n

The end of the season is the best time to edit and declutter. What has not been worn this season is ready to consign or donate. Edit out bathing suits, shorts, dresses and pants so that you have less to store and more space for fall clothing.\u00a0Once you have decluttered, bring in seasonal attire gradually with heavier clothing added in November. If you have not already gifted yourself with slim line hangers, now is a great time to switch up. An organized closet helps you get ready easily every day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Refresh your pantry.<\/h3>\n

Fall brings more structure to our days and to our meal planning. Start meal planning with pantry-made meals that make dinner easy to get on the table. Pantry meals include beans, pasta, rice, and ramen. Refresh your pantry with staples, organize your snacks into bins, and decant your flour for upcoming baking. Labeling your pantry makes it easy for everyone to find items and put away groceries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Update your medicine and first aid supplies.<\/h3>\n

Before fall allergies hit and while COVID continues, update your medicines and first aid supplies. Review your expired prescriptions and recycle these at a local pharmacy. Categorize your supplies by use so you can easily find what you need. Using 3-tier small drawer storage, you can group like items together and label the drawer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sharpen up your landing strip.<\/h3>\n

Busy people need a place for stuff to come and go from the house. That includes backpacks, bags, incoming packages, and returns.\u00a0 Sharpen up your landing strip with hooks for bags and a bench for packages, with baskets below for shoes. Not only is it easier to get those packages out the door, everyone is ready to go and can grab their bags.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get ahead for the holidays.<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Look ahead to the holidays and lessen your stress by organizing spaces in your home and holiday supplies.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Start now by decluttering your guest room so it is “company ready” by the time the holidays arrive. Let go of additional supplies from finished projects and distribute items to where they belong.<\/li>\n
  • Donate kids’ toys now to make room for upcoming gifts. Your kiddos will play more with a smaller number of toys and appreciate the new gifts. If there are unopened toys, donate those for upcoming holiday toy drives.<\/li>\n
  • Check out your Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving, and Holiday decorations. It is time to let go of extra decorations that clutter the attic or basement. Rearrange decoration bins by holiday and label what is stored in each. You will especially appreciate this when you are setting up for each holiday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Taking a proactive approach to your fall organizing helps you be ready for all the fun that is coming soon!<\/p>\n
