Growing skills in parenting and organizing.
The Konmari Method has been viewed as the be all end all way of organizing and decluttering your home for a few years now. This method focuses on identifying the areas of your home that spark joy and organizing by category.
If you struggle with keeping more than you need, or you don’t have the time to actually put everything you own in piles by category, then the Konmari method likely won’t work well for you.
Here is how I finally let go of clutter without using the Konmari Method.
Where did it all this junk come from? Where do we even start? It’s much too easy to look around our home and feel overwhelmed at the amount of clutter we’ve collected. FlyLady can help with that!

As the mom of three active kids, one of my biggest challenges has been learning how to store old sports equipment so that it can be used again in the future. We have more baseball gloves, tennis rackets, ski equipment, and scooter and skateboard equipment than I ever thought possible.
While I’ve written before about sports equipment storage ideas, I realized that there is a lot more to it than simply putting things away in an orderly fashion. Storing the equipment properly to keep it from deteriorating is even more important than keeping it organized.

There is nothing like waking up late and running to try to get ready and not being able to find your simple things to get ready. Brush, toothbrushes, hair ties, make-up all needs to have a place. With these simple bathroom storage hacks we can make sure you can find everything you need quickly.
Tennis is such a great lifetime sport. While my kids are mainly into soccer I also try to make sure they play lifetime sports such as tennis, golf and swim during their off seasons. Since we are playing more often, I needed to find some Tennis Racquet Storage Ideas to keep all the equipment organized. With athletic kids I am all about sports equipment storage ideas.
With multiple kids racquets plus my own bag I need to keep it up off the floor of the garage. I also like to store multiple cans of balls so we are ready to play.
Here are my favorite storage hacks.
1.Racquet Rack – this rack can store multiple racquets plus a couple cans of balls. It will even hold the balls without the can. I like this because my boys will play in our driveway and can just grab a single ball.
2. Nail – This is my husbands no-fuss, no-cost method. For my younger kids cheap junior racquets we just stick it up on a nail. It is at their height so they can have access to the racquets without asking us for help.
3. Ball hopper – I like to keep a ball hopper for all the extra balls. It is easy to take to our neighborhood courts and get some serve practice all by myself. This is the mini version which is perfect.
4. Table Tennis Storage – If you have a table tennis or Ping Pong table you know it doesn’t come with a place to store the paddles and balls. Here is a great solution.
Tennis is one of my favorite sports. I play and enjoy watching it on TV. With all of our family’s tennis balls and racquets I needed some tennis racquet storage ideas.
I highly suggest teaching your kids some lifetime sports so they can enjoy being active their whole lives.
