Can you not walk anywhere?

For outgrown clothes. What kind of bag or box would make the most sense?

Op, if you have a smart phone, apps like "wunderlist" makes your list issue crazy easy.


Empty diaper case or Amazon box in the closet--or even just a paper bag!

Instacart bags are lovely for this purpose if you have used Instacart at all.


No more diapers around here but I could do Amazon boxes or a paper grocery bag like anothee poster suggested. I'll do it today! Thanks dcum!

I finally outfitted each bathroom with a toilet brush and cleaning supplies. It really does make life easier, just do it!

Mine is putting clean laundry away. I HATE digging through the laundry basket for whatever I'm looking for. And when I do finally get around to putting it away, my sense of relief is short lived because by then it's time to do more laundry. I loathe the whole process, and doing that one thing would make it much easier.

This.

This was me a two years ago. I finally hired a house cleaner 2x a month. Best decision I've ever made.

Do it the night before. I make a list of work/personal things to do the next day.
I don't forget to do things and it feels great to cross them off!

2. Making a list of things I need when I go to stores or even order online. It would save me time, money and unnecessary trips back to the same place because I forgot something the first time

3. Putting WD-40 on our bedroom/bathroom doors so they won't squeak.I think about doing this pretty much every day but haven't actually done it.

What about you?


I do have the box of upstairs trash bags. The nanny/housekeeper can't understand why I ask her to buy two boxes!

I also keep a second stash of light bulbs and batteries upstairs. I hate the steps.
