Kids Closet Organization and Storage Tips/AndreaJean

all right welcome back to my channel I'm Andrea Gina on this channel we talk about all things motivation today I am taking you through my shared kid's closet I have a four and a half year old girl and a two and a half year old boy so I will just show you how I've organized this I'm also going to show you how I change clothes out for each season because we live here in the Midwest and the tundra is going to be coming very very soon so down here I like to keep shoe necessarily all piled up in our makeshift mudroom and then here I just have some my daughter's pants I love baskets they definitely help a little laundry basket there and here are some totes for different keepsakes for each of my kids my daughter my son and then I do have some baby items there as well and then this is just a basket of hangers so every time I take an article of clothing off I go ahead and put the hanger in here and then when I'm hanging up clothes I just grab one here from this bin and down here in the bottom is my son stuff we do not use dressers so all the clothes are in here and then just have them organized by more church-like stuff shorts we're transitioning out of this tanks t-shirts and then back there are some winter and fall things from last year that I'm going to bring to the front and then I will move this summer stuff actually to the back to see if it will actually fit next year when it comes around so that's what I'm gonna do there and here I have their pajamas these are my son's we just took out has been channels from last year that are a little bit too small now and then this is my daughter's Ben my son sacks my daughter socks undergarments these are her pants leggings shorts that sort of thing again we're gonna be transitioning these out and my son's pants and some more pants back there and top row gear this is my four and a half year olds I have thought about moving hers down here I think she will if they continue to share she gets just a little bit older because then she can kind of pick the clothes that she wants however I'm also a little leery of that too because it may create some power struggles in the morning so at this point it works up here because she can't necessarily reach the items so I may bring down what are two choices that she can choose from in the morning times to avoid the power struggle but you know like I said as she gets a little bit older I will want it to be more reachable so she can have better access to it and be a bit more independent sup here we have some leotards swimsuits and then we are tank tops right there t-shirts dresses and then as we get back here again it's fall and winter stuff obviously all this is from last year and so I'm gonna pull it here more towards the front and see what we're working with up top is just some storage stuff that I have up there which is really nice I'm here swim diapers here is stuff like seasonal life this is a Halloween shirt I saw my daughter Halloween costume things that I want at the forefront of my mind if I want an outfit for her to wear maybe it's for Sunday on Church and I wanted to be mindful to pull that particular outfit out I might hang it right here to help remind me and then again just a few more baskets those are shoes that are a bit too big for my son and then up there you can see in the pink basket those are some clothes that did not fit my daughter this past summer so we'll go through that basket next year and see if they fit at that time as well so this is just a little bit of an overview I'm gonna go ahead and switch some of those things out and I'll show you what it looks like afterwards we also have this big box of clothes here for my son some good friends of ours gave us all of their I believe it's 3t boy stuff so I'll go through that and hang those up as well and just kind of see if we need an for this fall and winter all right so just literally moving those clothes took me no time at all and you can see we got the fall and winter stuff right there in the front and the summer stuff there in the back some of this may fit next summer and I can pull it out then and my son just pull the long-sleeve stuff out short sleeve tanks back there and so the last thing that I need you is just go through this box and then start hanging it up in there I'm Andrew Jean on this channel we talk about all things motivation I'm a licensed mental health professional and I have three kids if you like the sort of thing go ahead and hit that subscribe button alright so then when I do these are all clothes that are too small I'm gonna put them downstairs in our storage tins tins they're more bins and some other random toys they're for my four month old may eventually wear him when he is 24 months so I will show you that process I set anything here that needs to go downstairs so it helps prompt me because my stairs for downstairs all right there so if it's sitting on this ledge I go by it and I see oh yeah I gotta bring that down let me take you downstairs with me all right here we are in a basement storage room here you can see this bin down here just have labeled it winter I'm pulling that stuff out here as it's getting much colder so this is all boy stuff that I'm saving three to six month to tea so on and so forth this is all my daughter stuff I don't think we're gonna be having a fourth baby but I feel the need to stumbled onto it not quite ready to depart and then there's my cat we don't let her in here so she is all excited about what's going on and that's just all shoes both of my kids in that box storage bin right there and more girl stuff back there here's the boy 12-month stuff that's been right here is currently for my now four month old that's zero to three month I just have to label it and the clothes that I'm be putting in this bin are from last winter other 24 month old pajamas so I'll need to label this at some point and as you can see I don't have any sort of fancy labeling system so whatever works so this is how I try to keep all the things organized any time an item of clothing doesn't fit them any longer I bring the mediately down here and I put them in the proper bin so that it's quick and easy so these are organizational solutions that work with you you know you don't need to set aside hours and hours you know each time you need to do it because it's already set up for you now to start you may have to do that as you're going through clothes and that sort of thing but once you get the system in place the system will work for you rather than you working for it all right I hope I helped you in some way or give you some sort of motivation and we'll see in the next one bye
