October 24, 2012
This week’s tie rack pick is the 30 Tie Organizer – Wall Mounted! Sold as a set of two, this is one of the most economical racks on the market, and truly one of the most versatile as well.

This tie rack could also be used elsewhere in the home, if you find your closet has gotten too full of garments already. Mount it behind the door in the bedroom or even in the bathroom, making sure that ties will not get wet from the shower. The horizontal design makes it one of the easiest tie racks out there to use, you can literally see all thirty of your choices (sixty if you use both included racks). The black and silver design is modern and gender neutral, even bachelors will love this handy wall mount tie rack. The clever design allows for complete removal of the hangers as well, a must have for getting any guy to actually put away his accessories.
If you can’t drill into your walls, never fear, there are better options out there, for example a closet rod tie hanger or in drawer divider for rolled ties.
Cleaning up Kiddies with Toy Storage
October 20, 2012
As a parent, one of the most frustrating aspects of child-rearing is getting them to realize the importance of organization. It is good to develop cleaning and organization habits early on so they do not grow up to become “pig-pens” – this is where toy storage is important.
It can be really exasperating to explain to the little ones about the importance of putting all of their toys away after they are done – but not two hours later as you go downstairs to grab a midnight bologna and cream cheese sandwich you take a tumble in a cartoon-esque manner because someone left their Hot Wheels city fully assembled.
How’s a Parent To Teach Toy Storage?
One of the best ways to teach storage and organization to little ones is to provide them with the correct toy storage options. There are a wide variety of kid’s storage options, from the more practical to the themed and fun storage bins. From toy bins up to decorative toy chests, there are many different options for getting your kids to put their toys away.
One of the most space-efficient choices for toy storage are unique storage options, like the stuffed toy hammock pictured above. Unique products like this provide a fun and innovative way for your child to learn the importance of cleaning up after themselves. Some hanging organizers, like the one above, have two mounting points, proving a hammock-like place to keep your kids stuffed animals, actions figures and more. Other hanging storage items dangle down and feature a variety of clips to hang the toys from.
With all of these storage options, you would think it would be a simple task to get your children to clean up with themselves. You can make it fun, you can make it easy but most of the time it just takes perseverance that I know you have deep inside of you! Best of luck getting those kids in order!
