Clever Mom Hacks

#1 Use a Shoe Organizer For Cleaning Supplies

Hang an over-the-door shoe holder/organizer in your laundry room to keep cleaning supplies at eye level. So much better than the typical under-the-kitchen-sink mess! (We use natural cleaners in this household, much safer!)

Total Time: 10 minutes to hang and fill up

Total Cost: $15

#2 Use an Ice Cube Tray For Jewelry Organization

Pretty porcelain jewelry boxes look great displayed on your dresser, but earrings and chains often end up tangled or misplaced. Keep jewelry and other small trinkets neat and tidy in-individual ice cube tray compartments. It may not be pretty, but it works!

Total Time: Depends on how organized you are to begin with

Total Cost: $3

# 3 Use a Lazy Susan in the Fridge

In my house, salad dressing and condiments always seem to easily get overlooked on the refrigerator door. Using a lazy Susan on one of the fridge's shelves keeps everything at eye level — so smart.

Total Time: Five minutes to organize your condiments

Total Cost: $10

#4 Use Shower Curtain Hooks as Bag Hangers

Keep handbags easily accessible and organized by putting shower curtain hooks on your closet rod.

Total Time: Five minutes to hook and hang

Total Cost: Around $3

#5 Food Jars For Spice Storage

After painting the lids with chalkboard paint and filling the jars with spices, baby food jars easily become part of a great-looking spice rack or drawer.

Total Time: One hour (plus however much drying time your paint of choice requires) to paint the jar lids, transfer your spices, and label the lids

Total Cost: $0 (if you already have leftover baby food jars)
