I noticed that the kids (age 3.5 and 5) would dig through their neatly folded drawers looking for something to wear and in the process tossing some clean clothing on the floor. This was frustrating for a couple reasons. First of all, it made my efforts to fold clothes and put them away meaningless. Secondly, the clothes that were clean and ended up on the floor would accidentally be mistaken as dirty ones that would be put in the hamper... Making extra laundry that wasn't necessary.
So now, although we still have their dressers those are mainly used for PJs, sweaters and jeans. All of their outfits are paired up and hung in the closet. To help with this, my father in law was so kind as to install a second bar in the closet so the big girls could reach their outfits and get dressed in their own still. They all share the same closet space.
Pajamas however are in whatever room they sleep in. This way when the baby is sleeping, there is no need to disrupt her if someone needs to get dressed for bed or change in the middle of the night from an accident.
We also organized my dear husbands drawers. I used to lay his tshirts folded and flat in a stack in the drawers. Now I fold and roll (really it's a trifold)basically so they can all be seen without having to dig. He loves how organized it looks and it doesn't require re-folding to keep it looking nice.
Pictures to come!
