We’re heading into Spring so cleaning will be on everyone’s mind right now. If you’ve got little ones at home, you know exactly how tiring it can be to keep things nice and organized. I certainly have had my share of organizational systems, cleaning charts and printables to help me teach Jaylin how to ‘clean and keep clean’ as my mom used to say. When I designed his room, I created several zones to help HIM keep his room tidy. I do have to step in and help from time to time, but it’s a part of the mom job.
My blogger friend Ola is in the final stretch of her Whole House Organization Challenge. The challenge is all about helping everyone organize the entire home in 14 weeks or less. No small feat, but certainly doable.
I had the privilege to share the nitty-gritty of my organizational system for J’s room on her blog J’Adore le Decor. I’ve covered all of the kid problem areas including Toys and Books, Costumes, Closet clutter and study area (for the big kids).
Sadly, I haven’t shared a complete tour of the kiddo’s room on the blog, but you can view glimpses’ of it here and see it all decked out for Christmas here. I promise I’ll finish photographing everything right after I finish making over my 1980’s vanilla kitchen.

I love it when I come across well-put together filling systems or organizers. I love Ikea for when it comes to storage, they are colorful storage bins and containers which would be great for kids toys.

Such great tips, our playroom always got so chaotic our parents would sweep it all into a big pile and threaten to dump everything if we didn’t sort it – they never did, but it got us to clean haha!
Kenyatta Harris says
Those total sweeps are killer!

Kids like to clutter and I think its normal. And it is also fun to teach them how to organize their room! I use some unused empty bondpaper boxes from the office and turn it into craters 🙂 It is cost efficient and savvy.
Kenyatta Harris says
I love that paper box idea! so budget savvy.
Dalene says
Without proper organization of the kids’ room, it can really be in a total mess. Anyway, I love the thought of organization using colorful storage bins.
Kenyatta Harris says
He insisted on red in his room since it’s his favorite colors.
