Hooks, Glorious Hooks

Random little organizing tip - hooks! I have them everywhere. They are much easier for kids to hang stuff onto than towel racks and hangers, and you can put them at kid height, so they can put stuff away themselves! Here's a few ideas:

• In lieu of towel racks in the bathroom (kids can't put the towels onto racks easily anyways)
• By the front door for coats/backpacks
• On the back of the kids' doors and closets for bags/belts/scarves/hoodies
• Small ones by the front door for keys
• A big one by the front door for my purse (a nice high over-the-door hook so the kids can't get into it ;-)

Behind the front door - space that otherwise goes unused anyways

No more towel rack - kids can put their own towels away now!

I've tried all the types - stick-on, over-the-door, and screw-on. Obviously, the screw-on ones are the most stable, but they are the biggest pain in the but to hang. Over-the-door ones are super easy, but out of the kids' reach. I'm partial to the stick-on ones, but unless you get the "Command Adhesive" type, they won't come off again. So go with what works best for you!
