I have been trying to organize my house for what seems like years! The first bit of organization that I found that seemed to work well and made me seek other bits of organization was finding a place for shoes.

An amazing thing happened when there was actually a place to put shoes. Everyone now knew where to find their shoes! No more lateness to church on Sunday morning because of a missing shoe! Okay…..a lot fewer instances anyway!

The funny thing about giving everything a place is that I cannot stand to see something laying on the floor if I know where it goes! I have to put it away. And that is how my husband convinced me that every teeny weeny item in our house needs a place to belong.

Now that I am convinced, Luke is excitedly teaching me his method of organization. It sounds a bit overwhelming at first, which is why it took a while to convince me that I really wanted to do it. But once I got started, I discovered that it really isn’t that hard to do the steps he suggests.

So, do yourself a favor. Get started assigning places for all your things, and maybe even getting rid of a few. Don’t sit around dreading organizing your house. I bet you’ll have a hard time stopping once you get started! After all, getting started is half the battle!!
