I l.o.v.e. baskets.

They are the perfect catch-all for small things that need to be out of sight. Baskets help me with my “5-minute clean up”.

There’s always a point in the day where the toy covered floors push me over the edge and I need a quick resolution. This is usually right before naps – I like to relax and look at a straightened up house while they are down.
We just toss everything in it’s assigned basket and in a few minutes, the place looks presentable again!

This is our puzzle basket:

This is our little container for small odds and ends:

This is our shoe basket at the foot of the stairs:

Baskets full of little clothes:

…and a basket full of little books:

Stuffed toys:

and unstuffed toys!:

Yes, we have a basket for everything!

Now, looks like I need a 5-minute clean up on the bookshelf:

It was one of those days when I would get one area straightened up and another would spontaneously combust!

Oh wait…..isn’t that everyday?
