we've got a hot tip for your hot mess: storage baskets!

People always ask, is there such thing as too many storage baskets? And I'm like...never. Never, ever. It's never enough. At our house, we use storage baskets for everything. Under the built-in desk in our kitchen to hide cords. In the living room to store extra blankets and hide ugly or boring planters. We use them in spades in the kids rooms and in the playroom. And of course, we use storage baskets in the pantry!

Storage baskets are great because the interior of the basket itself doesn't have to be organized. It makes cleaning up a dream, because you (or hopefully someday, your kids), just throw everything from the floor into the appropriate basket and voila! You're cleaned up!
