Put It In a Basket

Oh, the clutter. And, oh, the piles of stuff! I either have to plunge into that clutter or take a deep breath and walk away from it as I'm on my way to attend to something or someone else. But, don't think for a second that I can just walk away from a mess and not think about it in the back of my mind. I like order and neatness in my surroundings. I have found this to be true for a lot of women, especially mothers with busy little feet and hands moving about the house. The Solution? Put your annoying clutter in a basket! A basket gives the stuff a collected space that allows you to see/access it but not let it push on your "neatness nerve." I have included a couple baskets that I have recently found and purchased that you might be able to use for yourself too. The reasons I like these baskets is because they are trendy, affordable, good quality, and don't take-up too much space. Check out these great baskets:

This strong canvas basket was a great solution from TJ Maxx for only $6.

I found this seagrass basket at Wal-Mart for only $4.50 (In stores only). It looks good on my kitchen counter instead of the clutter of car keys, sunglasses, mail, and knick knacks that used to be where it is now.
