I love this!! I’m doing this with the very next cereal box I empty!! I could use this for the kids coloring books and workbooks that tend to flop over on the bookshelf, and for cookbooks that I store under my microwave cart. If I cut the top of neatly enough, I could flip the tops over, trim them down a little and use them in the baby’s dresser for socks and stuff! Yay!

Wow – what a great (cheap and easy) idea!

Yep, been using this idea for years. Last year I discovered as I order things from ebay the priority boxes some use are great too. They are even sturdier than cereal boxes and the kids can decorate them! I can recycle right here at home rather than send it out on the recycling truck. LOL

Great post Laura!

Love this tip! Thanks for sharing. :)

Solution Diva, the famous Susie from Bluebird blogs designed my site for me. She is amazing. Thank you!

Excellent idea indeed!! Now if I can keep the little one from ripping those boxes to shreds….

OK. I’m convinced now. I’m completely sure you’re the most unbelievably organized person I’ve ever met in my life. I thought I was organized. You shame me! :-)

I LOVE your blog & I LOVE this tip. I’m going to post a link to it at SolutionsForBusyMoms.com.

BTW, who did your FABULOUS design. It has such a great “feel” — like I’m in your cozy home :)

You are just too stinkin’ organized and smart for me. The offer of having you come to straighten me out still stands. Biscuits and gravy and pie are still in the offering if you can make it!
