I hope you have all finished up with the July tasks in the garage, because August is here and The Household Organization Diet is moving into the kids’ spaces! This month we will be talking about how to organize kids’ bedrooms…
With back to school just around the corner, August is the perfect time to clean and organize the kids’ bedrooms. Back to school is a time to start fresh, and a newly organized space is just what you {and your kiddos!} need to get things started on the right foot! Here is what is on the list for this month…
You can download your own copy HERE or a blank August To Do List HERE.
I also find it helpful to print out a calendar to write down what days I am going to do what. Otherwise, it seems like the end of the month arrives and I have barely gotten started on my list!

The problem with so many of these organisational ideas is that the organisation takes more time and effort than it’s worth. Take, for instance, the Lego mini-figure board. Looks beautiful! But what happens when they buy a new pack of minii-figures? – you have to reorganise the whole board, or even make a new one. Children’s tastes and needs change constantly, and the storage needs to be flexible enough to deal with that. Otherwise the hours of your day are hostage to the chance that your child might make some new pocket-money purchases – or you have to force your child not to buy more! It’s one or the other, and I don’t think either is acceptable.

I totally agree that storage solutions need to be flexible. A lot of these can be adapted to other storage as they grow or have different storage needs. We’ve had our LEGO boards for four or five years now and they still get used regularly. They are more to display the kids’ favorite figures and ones that they’ve created on their own. It also has encouraged them to clean them up because they like arranging them on the board. They do also have some figures stored in their LEGO drawers for extras and quick clean-ups. It’s all about coming up with what works best for you. 🙂
