4 Wonderful Hacks that will Help You Stay Organized this Spring

Spring is finally upon us here in Minnesota, which mean one thing, it’s time for spring cleaning! You don’t know what you should be doing to organize your house? No fear! That’s what I’m here for! I have a couple tips for you to make organizing your house this spring that much easier! 

1. You have finally committed to buying the new pair of boots you've had your eyes on for the past couple months, and it’s just about time for you to store them away for the summer. Worried about them getting smashed up while they sit lonely in your closet in the warmer months? Don’t be! Throwing some paper towel rolls in those boots and they will be nice and perky all summer, until you need them again!
2. Keep losing your earrings or backs, no matter what you do? I know the feeling, and I know how frustrating it can be! I have a solution for that. I found that ice cube trays are great for storing all of those earrings. No more missing backs for you! They are cheap, and easy to store in a dresser drawer if you don’t want your jewelry out in the open.
3. What is your biggest complaint about cleaning the windows of your house or car? I know mine is always seeing those annoying streaks that most paper towels leave behind. A friend recently shared with me a little secret, however. Coffee Filters! I know, I didn't really believe it at first either. But I decided to give it a shot and now my windows are beautiful, shiny, and streak free. I definitely won’t be going back to paper towels anytime soon.
4. Last, but certainly not least on this wonderful list of spring organization tips, is cleaning that smelly garbage disposal. As much as I try to keep my kitchen clean, sometimes the disposal just doesn't want to cooperate. This is where lemons and salt came into play. Throw a quarter of a lemon and a teaspoon of salt and you will have your garbage disposal smelling nice and fresh in no time! 

So, these are my tricks at making spring cleaning a little bit easier! How about sharing some of your spring cleaning tips below? I always love hearing ways to make the tedious, but necessary, task that much easier.

The Importance of Conducting a Home Inventory

Conducting a Home Inventory might not seem like something you need to do to, but it can save you a lot of money in the long run.

The most efficient ways to conduct a Home Inventory:

•        Do not rely on memory

•        Walk room by room and write down all belongings

•        Save your receipts to get the most accurate costs for each item

•        Taking pictures is also a great and easy way to record the items you have

You will also want to keep your inventory in a safe place other than your home so it will not get damaged or lost. Some places to keep your inventory:

•        Safe or lockbox

•        Safety deposit box

•        Cloud application through a trustworthy app or computer system

•        Office or place of work
