Get creative to corral kids’ clothing

“I’ve seen color-coded organizers to help kids keep their clothes divided, but they’re pricey! So I came up with a DIY option: I tied ribbons to the knobs of each kid’s dresser to signify what goes in each drawer, so brown is for socks and blue is for underwear. For large drawers, I tie a ribbon on each side— one for pants, one for T-shirts. This system cost me mere pennies and it makes mornings easier: The kids know to pull one item from each section.” —Mary Woods, mom of three, Madison, WI
