Get your kids organized

Take it one room at a time. Set aside everything to be stored and dedicate space and appropriate storage for everything.

Give kids their own storage. Clear a dedicate space for your children's movies, video games, art supplies and toys.

Be ruthless. Don't waste your time and space on items you don't need. Toss out or donate outgrown or unwanted clothes and toys, as well as other household items, like the fondue set you never use.

Create a master calendar. Put it on the refrigerator or beside the computer desk. Time management is an important skill and kids should learn it early.

Make cleaning a game. Children are more apt to remember to hang up their coats and scarves if they have their own fun coat hooks.

Find unused space. Your home probably has more storage space than you think. For example, decorative under-bed storage boxes allow you to use every inch of available space.

Make it a family affair. After all, your family helps make the clutter, so they should help organize it too.
