I am an organizer by nature but some things get in the way of staying organized. There are many stores that offer storage items to help one get it all together. One such store is promoting it's Grand Opening in Charlotte, NC on August 13th, www.containerstore.com
I love to look at any type of storage unit, stacking unit, and compartment items. They are fun and showy. But I still don't get a strong urge to get organized with it. For one, the units require more space: counter, wall or floor space. I browsed the new catalog received by mail. There was something for everything. When my children were toddler's we bought the big plastic bins for storing and stacking all the toys: Lego's, plastic tableware, toy soldiers and kid's meal figures. Do you think they used those bins? Rarely! Let's be real - what child, teen or adult really uses a shoe rack? Especially the kind that hangs on the back of the door? If you have little ones you do well if you end up in the house with a pair of shoes much less make it to the bedroom to place them in the neat shoe pockets.
So for those who are driven to "get organized" - you're to be commended!
