I've found that there are days when everything just flies along so smooth, and life is a breeze. Then I wake up. Ha ha! Life isn't always a breeze, but there are things I can do to help make things move along better. I can have days where it's smooth sailing. I've never been on a sail boat, but it looks like you have to know what you are doing. At least if you want to go in the right direction! If your like me, then you want all of your days to move in the right direction. This page is for all the things that keep my family moving in the right direction. Those things that make our days...Smooth Sailing!
Manic Mondays
Sometimes the hardest thing to do in the morning is just get up and get everyone dressed for the day. Right now my little guy loves to get dressed, especially if it means we are going bye bye. My job of getting him ready is easy enough, if his clothes are clean. I have a little problem of never having two things that go together clean at the same time. He has a cute shirt, but the pants somehow crawled under his bed on laundry day. Nothing matches. I found the cutest solution to our problem. This handy dandy daily organizer hangs on the back of his bedroom door. I can quickly see what he has clean, and it gives me a better idea of when to do his laundry. I love how it has a nice size pocket for his outfit, so it will work for his larger clothes as he grows. The smaller sock pouch is so handy. When can you ever find clean matching socks in a hurry? I bought this hanging organizer from here! You can get it personalized with your child's name on the top. This organizer helps to make our Mondays Smooth Sailing!
Hey! This looks like it is working out really well. I was thinking it would work to have something like this for the school work for my homeschool student. I could use it to put in books and extra supplies I might need for each day. My little file folders don't always hold everything.

ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific idea! :)
ReplyDeletemy son defanetly needs this
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome idea!! Planning a whole week!! Genius!! Although in Wisconsin our weather changes so often that Id probably have to put backups for every day lol :/
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...these organizers are so useful. Love how it has the days on it for him, too. We just bought a shoe organizer for the back of our pantry for all the condiments you get from restaurants and our spices.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and thank you for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteWow. That organizer is a great idea. Less mess.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great organizer.
ReplyDeleteThe organizer is a great idea.
ReplyDeletethat good iea hen he get older he can let hi toy have it

ReplyDelete@tisonlyme143
That's a very clever solution to daily dressing.
ReplyDeleteslehan at juno dot com
I liked your solution and appreciate the information to making it a not so manic Monday.
ReplyDeleteReally cute idea for my grandchildren. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. You don`t have to try finding clothes and trying to get breakfast. Get up get dressed while I do other things and out the door on time.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable organizer! I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! So cool and convenient!
ReplyDeleteI have hanging sweater shelf 'thing' that I use, but it's a lot larger than this one. Much nicer, and takes up less space, which is at a premium in a one-bedroom apartment
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great organizer! I will definitely keep this in mind once my daughter starts going to school every day, I think this could be a real time saver if we could pick out her outfits every Sunday night!
ReplyDeleteI have a old shoe bag that hangs up like this and its what I use to help me keep organized for the week,,
ReplyDelete@tisonlyme143
Good idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I used the same shoe bag idea for a baby gift. It was fun to shop and fill all the pockets, then I just rolled it up and tied a bow around it.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful idea and it takes the pressure off of what to take out every day,,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. We need this in our house. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThis is a WONDERFUL idea!!! I'm going to see if I can make one! Can't be too hard... ahh but to find the time! LOL
ReplyDeletethat good idea for kids and they can say ey i dodnt now what to wear
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for adults, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh My Land !!! I need this for all 3 of my kids, even my teen girls !!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing !

My daughter was much better about knowing where her things were than my son ever was. She also knew how to put an outfit together whereas my son...sigh. From 3rd grade till he entered high school were the lost years of clothes and fashion.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea here and I actually have a few daughters who are doing this for there children.
ReplyDelete@tisonlyme143
I think this is a great way for your child to become involved by letting him or her choose her outfit and put it in each of the pockets!
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for travel, you could just roll it up and plop it in a suitcase and it's ready to hang at your destination. (I used this idea for a baby gift too, so much fun shopping for gifts..when full...just rolled and mailed off!)
ReplyDeletesuch a great way to get organized, i go to work early and this would save me some time
ReplyDeleteReally love this idea easy way to be organized for the whole week
ReplyDeleteNeat looking organizer I am sure many families would enjoy to have in their home.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! My kids are grown but I could have used that years ago.
ReplyDeleteThis is an easy idea that would work so well for young kids or even messy older kids! I like how it can be personalized.

This is a great idea, my sister and I would have loved knowing about this one when her kids were little. We used to look everywhere for missing socks, favorite pants, etc. It was amazing what all I would find after they went home from staying the week. The oldest one now has his own little one so I'll be passing this tip on. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI know some kids that could use this for their bedrooms.
ReplyDeleteA couple of my grandkids have bags like these for their shoes and a couple for clothes. I thought they got them to just keep
ReplyDeletetheir clothes in like a space saver. But as they got older, they did use them to have their clothes ready for the week. They told me by doing this, it saved them more time in the am, to make sure their clothes were clean, and they don't wear the same thing that week. There is a method for their madness which I give them credit for! 👏🏻
This is a very nice way to help kids get ready in the mornings so that they can have some independence around getting dressed. Makes life easier for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI like the hang in organizer in the dancing diamond pattern.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. It certainly would help keeping things organized.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very easy organizer. Like how it is fun with the colors.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a clever idea. I'll have to share it with my daughter for her kids
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I think my grandson could use this to help him get going.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful ideal,,my daughter needs this with her 4 school age kids
ReplyDeleteWhat a time saver this would be--especially on school mornings.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea which can be used in bedrooms, bathrooms or laundry room. My kids are usually more neat when they have one in their room.
ReplyDeleteI always like useful hacks. This is a good one, and a real time saver.
ReplyDeleteThis organization tip takes "finding clothes the night before" to a better direction. Not having the whole outfit together at the same time is a common problem. This will definitely help a lot. I will be able to see who has what clean & ready at the same time. Thanks for sharing your tip.
ReplyDeleteThis would have been great when my kids were in elementary school. I'll have to remember this tip!

This is a nice way to help kids get organized and not overwhelm them. It also helps them be responsible.
ReplyDeleteellen beck
Fab idea for the disorganized little ones.
ReplyDeleteThis organizer would have helped me when I was younger. I was such a disorganized kid and still am to this day. I am making sure my kids do not turn out this way however. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteI finally picked up a organizer from walmart today and have put it up for my girls.
ReplyDeleteI have many baby nieces and nephews. I would love this for them.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t have any sons. We have four grandsons. We did have four daughters and eleven granddaughters. The reason why I mentioned this is because my daughters were really self-conscious about their outfits. Everything had to be cleaned and match! I did notice tthough that my grandsons didn’t really care about if their clothes wee cleaned or matched until they got to high school age and wanted to date. Otherwise, I would have been in the same predicament as you were in your article. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to have a daily clothes organizer for the kids.
ReplyDeleteI could use this idea in our room as well as the rest of the family! Organization is one of my weakest links!
ReplyDeletei love these ideas because they stressful
ReplyDeleteThis would work well for my grandson.
ReplyDeleteSuch an excellent idea! Also, perfect training to avoid the clothes all over the floor pattern which will show up not far down the road!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Both of my grand kids need this!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea. Combining organizing with visual cues is always helpful, plus it gives you space to let your kids make some choices--what goes where, which days are for which things, etc.
