Organization Center By Center Part 2

Homemakers Tip of the Day:

Part 2
On yesterday we left off talking about rules for home organization, today Insha Allah we will start with Rule 1(A place for everything and everythings in its place.) I love that saying. Sister have you ever been into a preschool classroom, if so i would like for you to take a quick second to close your eyes an try and remember how it looked....... Ding ding ding, okay you got it. Preschool teachers are model organizers because they have to be. Without a plan for classroom structure, 18 or 20 energetic little people could create plaything havoc in mere moments.
To keep their schoolroom running smoothly, preschool teachers apply the concept of “centers”: dedicated areas for a single activity, like blocks, dress-up or sand play, with storage for all the playthings required by that activity. At home, you can set up centers that work the same way, to focus and support the everyday activities that are carried on in the home. To create them, you’ll designate:

A focus: Allocate one focused activity to each center.

A specified area: Set aside a single place to perform the activity.

Storage for tools and supplies: Ensure that all items needed are present and available in the center.

Today insha allah we are going to focus on a few centers only with more to follow. Remember we are taking baby steps. First center in our quest to organization... The winner is

1. Grooming (skin-care products,cosmetics and hair care implements near a bathroom sink and mirror)

2. Cleaning and caretaking (mops, broom, and vacuum, cleaning tote with tools, cleaning products for refills, replacement light bulbs, cleaning cloths and sponges, specialty cleaners)

3.School/Homework ( (table, good lighting, pens and markers, paper, reference books)

You will need to buy a few simple things to get and keep these centers up and functioning properly. It will require dilligence on your part to make sure all things have its place.

Please check out the photos in order to get a better idea of each new center, and as always ladies "Enjoy your day!
