A Few of My Favorite Things : Organizing Edition
I love it when websites and bloggers post their favorite products – I hope you do too! Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite things: ORGANIZING EDITION. The products I’m sharing are items that I have in my home and use on a daily or weekly basis. These are products you probably have seen before on the blog – these are my must-haves in my home because they work, look good, and simplify things. I hope you enjoy and get some ideas for organizing your home as well! Some of the links are affiliate links, but rest assured, clicking on the link is free.
- The Grook Utility Holder from Casabella – I have this in my mudroom closet to hold handled tools and gadgets.
- Tiered Spice Organizer – You can see how I use this and the below listed Lazy Susan in my spice cabinet – love these!
- Lazy Susan – If you haven’t used lazy Susans in your home, you need to start! They’re perfect for small spaces, cabinets, under cabinets, etc.
- Fiestaware bread tray – I love Fiestaware – we use it exclusively for dinnerware and I love these bread trays to keep kitchen counters clear. They are available in lots of colors – I have white and turquoise.
- Ball canning jars – I love vintage Ball jars and have quite a collection. I use them for storing dishwasher tabs, decoration, my sink scrub…
- milk crate basket – I have more of these than I’d like to admit. I love them for keeping toys contained! You can see this basket and how I use the other two below in this blog post.
- large round basket – we have two of these – one for Duplos in the family room and one for backpacks in the mudroom. Love them!
- magazine basket – I love magazines and keep my working collection contained in this basket.
- over the door shoe organizer – I use these for storing cleaning supplies and organizing American Girl Doll clothes for my daughter. Such a great solution.
- Doxie WiFi scanner – I love the Doxie Mobile Scanner for digitizing that paper. If you have paper piles and aren’t sure what to do with them, check out this post.
- boxes – I have these in my office and love them!
- caddy – I love using caddies for organizing cleaning supplies. I have quite a few, this one is my latest.
- label maker – There are lots of label makers out there – this one is the one I have and love. I use it to label pantry items, kid stuff, drawers, etc. It’s a great tool to have!
- notebook – Every home needs a homekeeping binder (says the girl with the printable business). Find one you love (the one I love is hit and miss at stores, so I’ll probably need to find something new) and organize those important papers, calendars, bills, etc. Go here to see all the posts I’ve done on homekeeping binders.

I love all your ideas, Becky!
SO pretty, too!
Jars, baskets, hooks, and boxes are the things that match that we’ve found to be good helpers.
I’m needing some caddies, though, and I love the one you found!
Great post and ideas!
I love ya!

It may seem silly to not include a notebook, actually, for being organized. Information has to be kept somewhere? Even if you don’t think you need it – you will! And what better place than a pretty binder or folder? Best item on the list, in my mind! 😀

Becky, I JUST found your site recently, and let me tell you, you are fantastic! It’s so nice to find great ideas that are easy to use, practical, and cheap as well – especially when one is one a fixed income. I’m seeing ways to reuse things in my house that I never thought of before. I have yet to find any of your ideas, (solutions, creations, light-bulb thoughts, musings – whatever you call them!), to be hard to put to use; and what’s more – I’m having a blast doing the dreaded PURGE, and organizing! Thanks and million – please keep the ideas coming full speed!

I have the caddy in silver! I love the idea of a large basket for backpacks. Adding it to my list.
Leanne Says
I love your list! The baskets are so awesome. I have that blue caddy and love it!
Bonnie Dewkett Says
I’m obsessed with mason jars as well! I use them for leftovers too…soup and other items like that fit well inside them AND they take up a smaller footprint in the fridge.

I LOVE all of your ideas – thank you for sharing. I use an over the door shoe organizer on the inside of my coat closet for hats, gloves & scarves. Each person gets a row – except for me, I get two 🙂
