Staying organized with little kids around can seem nearly impossible. Although I have only one little miracle, I’m around families with many little kids. I witness firsthand how days are spent cleaning crumbs off the floors and picking up toys all over the house.
From witnessing, to working with, to experiencing in my own home, I’ve come up with 20 small, simple ways to keep home (and life) organized with little kids. Most of these ideas have been implemented one at a time. But they make a huge difference in simplifying life with little kids.
Check out these 20 little ways to stay organized when you have little kids (number 20 is the best one you can do).
01. Keep one small area of your home in order daily (it could just be an empty kitchen sink or doing one load of laundry).
02. Plan meals ahead of time (even if it’s only the night before).
04. Limit the number of places where laundry can pile up.
05. Use one simple cleaner for everything.
06. Declutter toys no one plays with.
07. Keep homeschool books and supplies in one place.
08. Designate a special place for library books to “live.”
09. When doing dishes is too much, use disposable plates.
10. Create one place to put all the incoming receipts, mail, and paperwork.
11. Designate a box for all the kids’ artwork.
12. Use bins without lids for kids’ toys wherever possible.
13. Delegate simple tasks to kids.
15. Add groceries to a list on the fridge as you think of them.
16. Better yet, use a grocery app to add groceries to as you think of them, then have them delivered or pick them up.
17. Set up a simple cleaning routine and stick with it as best you can.
18. Plan time for self-care (a walk by yourself, exercise, 30 minutes of reading, etc).
19. Slowly implement these 4 daily rhythms.
20. Be present with your kids to “fill their tanks” …this truly simplifies your life and grows your relationships with them.
Which of these 20 little ideas can you implement now to stay organized with your little kids?
