My Mission Organization has begun!!!!!
Day 1: Step 1
Dump/ Toss/ Donate
I like to dump out all the toys in their bins, baskets, toy boxes or anything else I use for storing their things. I know it sounds like a mess but it really is the best way to go through everything. I can easily see what is in them.
Then I seperate everything into 3 containers, boxes or bags. I use a garbage bag for the broken toys or the little junk toys that accumulate over time. Toys that are in good condition but my kids have outgrown or just don't use anymore go right into a box to donate to Goodwill. Then the toys that we are keeping go in the appropriate places. For the toys that don't have a place they basically stay in a pile on the floor until I make a home for them. Which will bring us to day 2 tomorrow.
These are my before pics:

We bought a bunk bed for the girls from Craigslist this past weekend.
As you can see these are very small rooms and much is needed to make this work!

Cant wait to see the after pics eventually. And it could be worse- you could be living in a house as small as mine!
