Have you seen the new tote put out by Rubbermaid that holds hanging file folders? Okay maybe it isn’t so new but you have to remember I live in a small town. It is basically a portable filing cabinet with a lid (see picture below). Anyway I think it was my mom that first purchased one of these and I just thought it was the greatest idea. For years I’ve kept all of our manuals/ warranties in one tote just all in a jumbled mess (gosh thats hard for me even to type). It took me forever to find anything but I couldn’t come up with a better system……until now. This works perfectly! Manuals are filed alphabetically so it is quick to grab whatever I need and it doesn’t take up much space. It works for me…..and I just couldn’t wait until Wednesday to post about it! I’ll have something else for you on Works for me Wednesday I promise!

I love plastic totes of any kind. I just love going to WalMart or Target and buying clear plastic totes. Having 2 kids around the house I can always find something or other to fill them with! I am the type of scatterbrain who likes to think of myself as organized and efficient…but I think I really have just a bunch of clutter tucked away nicely in tidy plastic totes. Oh well…at least it appears organized! LOL

Hi there. Sandra directed me here. Gosh if you didn’t live so far away, I would ask you to come help me get organized. I’m like your polar opposite. I think I’ll peek in from time to time to get some “pointers.”
Janice (5 Minutes for Mom) says
that is great! I have a ton of rubbermaid containers – butnot those yet!
I am here through Sandra. So nice to meet you. I live in BC too.
I am so not an organzing junkie – in fact I hate organizing, but I love it when things are organized. So I strated something called Tackle It Tuesday to get my house back under control.
Janice (5 Minutes for Mom) says
I am such an idiot!!! You already do Tackle It!! I just realized that you looked familiar and looked at your sidebar and there was you Tackle It post link. So sorry. So silly of me!!

I love plastic totes, too, & that bit by mom of 2 about having clutter tucked away neatly in totes, that’s me, too! Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I will have to look for these filing totes at Wal-Mart.

Laura says
