Two days ago marked the first day of Spring, as unbelievable as that might be considering the weather. Now it’s time to open the windows (when the pollen count goes down) and jump right into Spring Cleaning! Spring Cleaning isn’t just about dusting, vacumming and typical cleaning of the house, it is also about organizing. If you are like me, you have a lot of work to do when it comes to switching seasonal clothes in our children’s closets,  re-organizing things that somehow got unorganized through the winter and making room (or finding it) where all the toys have somehow accumulated in mass. 

I’ve been signed up for Opensky since it’s Beta and I am pretty excited I get to share some products with you that can help with organizing things easily! Opensky is an exclusive sale site with products endorsed by celebrities. These products I’m going to share with you are from OrgJunkie, the Author of Clutter Rehab and Blogger of OrgJunkie.com.  This first product I am going to show you is going to solve all your stuffed animals, legos and little men problems! It is amazing.

Using the Lay-n-Go makes it okay to dump your toys out!! Kids are very visual and when they can see all their stuff in one place like this, it makes it much easier for them to find just the perfect piece they need!

When the kids are all finished playing, you simply pull the drawstring and, voil?, instant cleanup with no hassles. Brilliant!! If you’ve ever tried to clean Legos up one piece at a time, you know how tedious this chore can normally be. It’s also handy for Polly Pockets and other similar small toys. Finally, a product that solves the problem!

The Lay-n-Go Toy Storage is probably one of the greatest products I’ve seen for spring cleaning and for daily play time; that is not exaggerating. Just watch the video!

Can you imagine? Instead of all the legos, army men, barbie shoes, etc. scattered throughout the house and in spaces you never even knew existed until somehow it is magically transported under your foot, they’d all be in one space and in a ‘cinch’ they’d be picked up and ready to put away!

These fun colorful tubs with lids are such a great versatile product. Right away you can imagine organizing all those toys for your little ones. Add a few big labels to the outside and you’re set to go. They stack nicely as well, which is a great space saver, and yet are small enough to perhaps tuck toys away for awhile and rotate them out on a regular basis. This will help your child not be overwhelmed with too many options at one time (which makes clean-up easier too!). I just love the bright colors available: apple green, mint blue, orange and pink! A little something for everyone.

The Homework Caddy, which is made of a durable canvas type material, will help you clear the clutter with the four color-coded designated deep pockets for all those school papers that seem to come home in your child’s backpack each day. It’s never ending isn’t it?

The Homework Caddy has a calendar, deep pockets for storing school papers. My personal suggestion would be to have a to-do section (especially for projects) and a completed section. This way when your child comes home they can put their work into the folders without them getting lost. They can also have their own personal calendar for school events, days off, practices (if they are in clubs) and to be able to mark when projects/homework is due. You can go over it with them until they get the hang of it and this also helps you to keep up with what is going on at school! The best thing about it is that your child can’t lose their work! My son always has issues looking for papers and getting them lost, this is a fantastic way of keeping track of things and also keeping your kids room organized.

The last product I wanted to show you is for Couponers. You know couponing is generally a huge mess if you aren’t organized. Keeping track of all the coupons, sale flyers, etc. can be a bit of a hassle. The Qubie Coupon Organizing System looks like it can clean the job up really fast! Spring Cleaning for Coupons, that is exactly what I need.

Organizing your coupons just got a whole lot easier. This ultimate coupon organizer system contains everything you need to eliminate the stress and frustration that come with coupon organization, so you can start saving big money at the grocery store.

The Qubie Coupon Organizing System comes with:

• The Qubie Pro – Grocery & Pharmacy Coupons
• The Qubie Plus – Specialty Store Coupons
• The Qubie Pal – Restaurant & Gift Cards
• 15″x16″x3″ Durable Gusseted Tote Bag (to hold everything!)

I love how it is separated so you can just pull out what exactly you need and also have both books available when you need to do store match ups. This would certainly be a great product for reorganizing your current couponing process.

Here are a few other ideas from Opensky:

For the kids:

• Spend more time reading with your kids than searching for a book by using a pastel book organizer that can display all of the classics.

For the closet:

• A jewelry organizer solves the problem of tangled necklaces and mismatched earrings and makes getting dressed in the morning faster and painless.

• Conquer the closet clutter with a double rod closet that organizes everything from shoes to sweaters.

• Handcrafted wood hangers

create a unique looking coat rack that you can leave anywhere inside your house for easy coat storage.

For the kitchen:

• Label your leftovers using erasable food labels so you can easily navigate what’s in your fridge.
