Overwhelmed with too much stuff and not enough space? Check out these 10 thrifty ideas for getting organized to get you started!

Getting prepared for any type of travel is definitely a challenge! I’m sure any of you moms who have traveled before can relate to the massive coordination that goes on to make sure your kids will be cared for, dressed, chauffeured, and fed every moment you are away! And then of course, there’s the packing & deciding what to wear. I am so glad that I finally got around to organizing my closet.  It made packing SO much easier!

When I get back from my trip, I am bound and determined to organize all the other neglected areas in my house. I thought I’d start today with some awesome (& thrifty) organizing ideas I found around the blogosphere.
