I feel like I am always getting rid of things, almost daily, but we still somehow have so many little things. Having 3 younger children the toys pile up, but they play with it all and I know it wonโt last forever. But in the meantime I canโt stand the clutter. Everything needs a homeโฆ or in my case, a basket. My family and friends joke with me about how many baskets I have. If I counted it would probably be close to 100. Iโd rather see a nice decorative basket than a pile of things. I hope this will give you some ideas for your own organization journey! It really does make a difference.
