This week’s find is the I Think I Canvas Shoe Hanger from The Land of Nod.
These come in so many different colors and work great for baby, toddler or teen.
I love an item that can be used in different ways. You can store shoes, toys, toiletries or just about anything that needs to be organized but will still give you a neat look.
Get the kids in the habit of being organized and it will make your life a lot easier.
I just returned from vacation well rested and ready to get back to work. What a better way to get back to reality than today’s blog…”the art of unpacking”.
So many people talk about the art of packing but I think there is an art to unpacking that is simple and stress free.
Do not pass the laundry room with your suitcase. No matter what!
Empty all dirty clothes into a laundry basket. If you don’t have the time to do a weeks worth of laundry take it to a laundromat and they will do it for you. It may sound like a luxury but so many people get overwhelmed with laundry and then it just keeps piling up.
Take remaining clean clothes and toiletries and put them in your bedroom and bathroom.
I have so many client’s especially ones that travel for business and if they do not put their clothes away within 48 hours of coming home stacks of clothes begin forming all over their room and that is when they get overwhelmed.
Put dry cleaning immediately in a dry cleaning bag. If you do not have one get one from your dry cleaner.
This one step keeps clutter from forming. Once it is filled put it near the back door so you do not forget to put it in your car.
Unpack and repack toiletries so you are ready and organized the next time you travel.
Make a list of items you are out of and need restocked. It will save you from last minute running around before your next trip.
Put your suitcase away!!
Suitcases can become an eyesore and stressful to look at after a couple of days especially if they are still filled with clothes.
These simple tips will make coming home less stressful.

I just watched the segment on getting your closet organized on the Today Show this morning. I love Hoda Kotb so I was couldn’t wait to see her closet.
Jill Martin who is a contributor on the Today Show came in and took over to make the transformation run smoothly.
Many people ask me about getting their closets organized. The first step is enlisting the help of a professional or friend to give you that honest opinion to help you to let go of things you never wear or absolutely love.
As you can see in the pictures the main changes were removing the clothes she never wears and changing the hangers. Sounds easy but an extra set of eyes and a little fashion show helps get rid of years of clothes that are taking up valuable closet space.
