Local Eco / Green Resource: The Woodlands GREEN

 

When I was online looking for the best places to recycle styrofoam, I came across The Woodlands GREEN (GrassRoots Environmental Education Network). It is a non-profit education organization that focuses on all environmental things. They are full of resources, events, and opportunities. You can even join as a member to support them. I highly recommend you checking out their website &/or their Facebook page for more information.

Client Busy Woodlands Mama: Toy Closet Organization Before & After

Anyone still working from home and running out of things to organize? I thought I would share this toy closet that I helped this client in The Woodlands, TX organize last year and there was no extra money spent here. This family has actually since moved from this house. Here is what I did:

• We pulled the things that were right in the doorway out. 
• The client went there are get rid of everything she no longer needed, which wasn't a ton, but definitely helps. 
• Then we sorted like items together like games, lego, household items, decorations, etc. 
• Then we grouped those sorted items onto the shelves to give it a more cohesive look.
• We put items like the vacuum back in after. 

What you don't see in the after pictures below is that the left side there is a shelf where things like batteries, bulbs, and household items like that went. The organization process is so different for so many people. Do what you can, when you can.
