An organized home tends to be a happy home. Why? Because you know where everything is, you can easily find it, and when guests come over, there isn’t clutter laying on the floor everywhere.
Sometimes, though, getting organized in the first place, or doing some spring cleaning can be overwhelming. Where do you start, what do you use, and what are the best tips to stay organized? These are all questions that can be answered.
