Pls share some of your best tips...
I don't know if it's the baby on the way, or what, but I am starting to feel as though my house has no real organization to it. I want everything in my house to have a home, and it doesn't feel that way. I attempted to have a system for things like mail to eliminate clutter, but I still feel as though things like clothes, shoes, purses, dishes, blankets,pots, pans, etc needs to be organized more. What freaks me out more is the fact of knowing there is a lot more stuff on the way with the baby coming. The stuff that we do have for the baby I want to make sure it remains organized as well.
What works in your household? Any tips ? Any recommended websites ?

Great thanks! I'll have to get some bins for our blankets and such to keep them out of the way. I also do need to get rid of a lot of the junk mail that comes to the house! Ugh! What a pain.
Thanks!
Pots and pans...this was my biggest problem when we moved into this house. We had really deep cabinets in the kitchen. My dad installed these for me and they are a wonderful addition to our home:

I am normally a crazy organizational freak, but when I was pregnant it was like times 100. lol I can't offer much specific advice because I am constantly cleaning out closets and cabinets, decluttering, etc. I change everything way too much. lol
What I can say is, do one room at a time, work from top to bottom, and dont overdo it. And, get some Space Bag Totes (great for bedding and baby clothes)
In DD's room, I only kept out her current clothes size and put everything else in Space Bag Totes. Outfits get hung in the closet, and everything else folded in drawers. I even put DD's shoes in a dresser drawer (it's nice while their size is small. lol)
