Does your home have a look of clutter?
When you need something, do you have to go through piles of papers,
clothes, or even trash to find it? Are your children in the midst of
all this clutter? Possibly you can organize just a little better.

Maybe you need to learn how to organize
your home. I have heard some exclaim that they are just messy or
their husband is just messy. Well being messy is a choice. You can
choose to be messy or you can choose to organize it.
Toilet Tissue Holder
Have you finished using the toilet only
to discover the toilet tissue was used up? There is no need to have
this problem again with a tissue holder. The tissue holder shown
above holds extra rolls of toilet tissue so when one runs out, you
only need to refill it right then. I purchased this at Bed, Bath,
and Beyond for $39.95 with my coupons. I am very happy with it and I
have no complaints.
Organizer Board and Calender
According to Zoe at

you can hang a calendar and hook rack
for kids to hang their coats and backpacks when they walk in the door
from school. The board may contain a note area for your child to
write notes or for you to write a note to your child. This is an
awesome idea.
Messy vs Cleany
I recalled I read a book by Sandra
Felton called “Messy No More.” It really changed my life. She
compared a messy to a cleany and explained how each of those type of
people thought. In fact, there are those that will tell you leave
their mess alone, because they know where everything is. Do they really? Anyway, I
discovered I was a messy. As I read her book, I was nearly
underlining everything she said, because I discovered she describe me
fully. The great thing about this book she gave great examples of
how to change. I also saw one of my relatives in this book. This
particular relative was a cleany. Her floor and house was
immaculate. I recalled she would iron her sheets and her husband's
underwear. If you smoked, as soon as you put one ash in the ash tray,
she would empty it. Who does that? I highly recommend her book.
Cleaning House
One thing that I learned, and found it
works very well for me is to clean one new thing in a different room
each day. By doing this the house gets clean and can stay clean. Now if you have not cleaned for awhile, it may take some time, but eventually you will see the difference.
There will be no need to rush and try and clean and pick up things
before friends come over. Now the bathroom and kitchen are cleaned
daily no matter what. That is just my personal preference. At
first it seemed like a chore, but eventually I could see the
difference.
Example
Have you considered the example you are
setting for your children when your are messy? Do you want them to
think that it is okay? Granted when you have small children the
house may not always stay organized no matter how hard you try, but
at some point you have to start trying as children get older.
Natural Cleaning
I have discovered the many uses of
vinegar. Besides the fact that I use vinegar to tenderize my meats,
I also use it to clean my shower and bathroom sink. I like the way
that it makes the faucets shine. That shine and cleanliness is the
greatest reward for me.

Hello Betty, thank yo for sharing these nice tips. Visiting from Monday musings
You are most welcome ifeoma
This post has so many good points that we could all learn by. I was a messy child and it has taken me ages to get it right. I like the idea of cleaning up stuff each day and I try and keep on top of it and do a bigger clean before the weekend. Now some of my children are untidy and I try to get them to work on their rooms daily to keep on top of it. Sometimes this works other times not. Thanks for sharing at Good Morning Mondays. Blessings
I love a clean home. Especially an organized one.
Thanks for sharing on the Shine Blog Hop!
Hello, I am visiting from Terri's link-up. What a wonderful post! It makes life so much simpler and easier to navigate when we are organized! One thing that we are learning in our home is to get rid of things we do not need, want, or use. It is such a great feeling to bless others with things we are no longer interested in keeping, and it clears our own space of unnecessary clutter. Thank you so much for sharing this post...I leave here refreshed in spirit! God bless you, newfound friend. :)
Should are very welcome Cheryl.
Hi Betty,
I used to be a hoarder of books, magazines, papers and other stuff that would pile up over time and look unsightly--and so was my husband. We have discovered that it just feels mentally-healthier to keep our rooms neat. We added more storage solutions and now it is much easier to keep our home cleaner and neater. Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips with us at the Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Party Blog Hop! I’m pinning and sharing!
Your Welcome Terri. I am glad it helped you.
Your welcome Tiffany. I love a clean home too.
Your welcome Deborah. I also used to be a hoarder of books. I am much better now. I pass them on to others and do a lot of reading on the internet now.
I like to consider myself a cleany but I look around, get overwhelmed and realize I'm a bit of a messy too! :) Thanks for sharing your great tips at Waiting on...Wednesday at While I'm Waiting!
Your welcome holly
