Get Organized with Pencil Pouches from Malibuquilts

http://www.etsy.com/listing/67738985/owl-pencil-case-for-3-ring-binder-with



 Here’s a new idea for the standard pencil pouch that's great for all ages.  What a way to organize all areas of our life!  Malibuquilts makes their zippered pouch out of medium weight cotton which is fully lined with coordinating cotton fabric.   You don’t have to worry about losing any of your pouched items; they use a durable sport quality zipper to keep things secured.   Most important thing to note….their absolutely adorable!  Almost too cute to use, it’s a perfect combination of frill and functionality!  I can imagine using this in the front of my family folder to keep pencils, stamps, extra insurance cards, and emergency phone number cards… but that’s just me…we’ll talk about family folders in a later post.  Head on over to Malibuquilts to see this wonderful pouch and more!  Feel free to make any inquiries if you have any questions!

Organization in the Bathroom

Tonight is bathroom organization night!  I know, it's not that exciting, but I thought I'd share a few great ideas for bathroom organization.  Let me know what you think:
I love the pegged chair-rail behind the sink, the metal bins, and the clear glass containers.

Organization in the Closet

This is one place in the house that needs much work at my house.  I thought I'd share a few organizational tips, pictures, and ideas for closet organization.  I haven't cracked the cover of the book to the left, "Shop Your Closet"... but doesn't it sounds SO fun!  The item description says that it's "The Ultimate Guide to Organizing Your Closet with Style"...sounds like it's something we all need doesn't it.

I always thought that it took too much time to organize children's closets by size or type, but how much time do we waste every morning trying to find that 3-6 month pink jumper?  In the long run children's closet organization is the key!  There are several cute options that come at the right price.  The second link to the left is for really simple  size organization tabs that come in a 5 pack for less than $6!  Do you want more of a cute crafty approach to children's cloth organization.  Check out this picture and link to a great Etsy site:

Look at these great wall hooks!  These would look great with any rustic decor or for anyone who loves a unique accessory.  I'm thinking these would work great to hang my robe, pajamas, or outfit for the next day!
