On Your Way Up Basket
For me, organization and simplification go together. If I spend the time to organize an area, that organization should simplify my life. Today’s organizational tip is simple and it can be tailored to work in your home and with your family. Instead of having a stack of things on the steps, I set out to find a container to keep on the steps as an “on your way up basket”.

I really should make myself one of these… Should I take a before picture of my messy stairs…? Keep an eye with my blog and you might find out next Tuesday.

This is a great idea. I will have to look for a good basket to implement into my house.

I love, love love this idea!, everyone in my home just throws everything on the top of my stairs… It is my BIGGEST pet peeve… If it wasn’t so late I would do this right now!! 1st thing in the morning this is what I’m doing!!! Thank you!!

I love seeing your thinking process documented with the picture of all the different baskets. I need to figure out something for my stairs, too.
