I have never really been an organized person. I have children. Anyone have any tips that might help?
Thanks

Well...I'm 35 weeks pregnant and "nesting." I suppose this is the perfect time for me to answer this question LOL
I was totally unorganized before I was pregnant. Once I found out I was pregnant, I made a decision to go room by room and organize my entire house. Here's how I went about it...
1.) I made one master "to do" list for myself. On this list, I had all of the stuff that I wanted organized. Such as, "Organize filing cabinet, organize computer room desk, organize bedroom closet, etc."
2.) Each day..in the morning...I made myself a "mini to do" list. On that list, I had all of my little tasks for the day, including laundry, dishes, floors, appointments, etc, then I added ONE of my "big list" items.
3.) I litterally had to FORCE myself to complete everything on my list.
4.) I didn't make it too hard to accomplish. For example...If I had a big job to do that day, like organizing the garage, I would leave off some of the little stuff, like vacumming.
I hope this helps. Once I started really sticking to my lists, I was amazed at the way my house was coming together. It actually became FUN!! If you can believe that!
I'm still nowhere near where I'd like to be, but my house is WORLDS away from what it used to be like.
Good luck organizing! And have fun! (if possible) hehehe :-)

Clear plastic containers with flop open lids for easy access and lids that can't get lost. you will be able to view the contents easily with out having to search each container individually. these can be stacked any where in the home office or garage

BASKETS!!! stick stuff in baskets and bins and containers. I love organizing and baskets and stuff always help me out. Organize books in magazines into those magazine holder things.
good luck!

With children you need to be organized.
Make a shedule for each week. Plan to do what you must do, and stick to it.
