The following is a tip from L2L.
We live in a two story home so I don’t always feel like running up the stairs to put away the kids toys or my shoes, ect.
I came up with a 2 basket, 2 bag method of staying de-cluttered and organized. Every Friday, anything that is in our stairway basket goes in one of four baskets.
- Put Away basket
- Find A Home basket
- Give Away bag
- Donate bag
If it isn’t put in a bag or basket it is thrown away. This is very helpful because come Friday, it is Mom who determines where the item is placed and not the child!
You can read more about this method on her blog, Learn to Love, Love to Learn.

I use Put Away, Give Away, Throw Away baskets. Works well for us.
