Tween girls closet ,bedroom, and bathroom organization

One of the most important lessons to teach children 
early in life is to be organized with their belongings.

Their bedrooms are the first place in their young lives where they get to practice this skill.
Repeat the organization lesson until 
they master it for themselves.
Sometimes it takes years, but it's well worth it.
It teaches them critical thinking skills in the process.

Closet organization:
Clothes are divided into categories:
Shirts by color and sleeve length 
are hung-even t-shirts, 
pants are divided into:  
jeans, leggings, and sweats
on the bottom shelf,
skirts and shorts
on the top shelf,
shoes are kept in a 
shoe organizer,
boots are lined up in a row,
sweaters are neatly folded 
at the top of the closet,
socks, underwear, and bras 
are in a drawer,
pajamas,
bathing suits and belts,
dresses,
and jewelry.

Having a young lady's closet organized does not mean 
that we have to spend a lot of money on closet shelving.

Dividing the closet with removable storage 
is budget friendly and easy to change around.

Pick out clothes the night before for an 
easier morning routine.


Desk area
The desk area is best kept clutter free for homework, computer time, and free time projects.
Desk drawers and cabinets.


Bathroom organization
Keep shower clutter at bay by only buying 
shampoo and conditioner when she runs out.
Toothpaste

Hair tools


makeup


At this age, girls love products-hair, makeup, creams and lotions. It is very easy to overload. 

Keeping things simple and diverting attention to other things to keep them busy teaches them 
a lifetime of good minimalist 
and clutter free habits. 

When the clutter bugs get to us, the most important thing to remember is to get back in to balance 
and clear the stuff out of our rooms and bathrooms. 

Pass it to a friend or throw it away.

Product overload is also very unhealthy. 
All those chemicals on our bodies 
compromise our immune systems.

Having a beautiful bedroom has nothing to do with how much stuff she has or the size of the room, and has everything to do with how organized it is and how easily she can find her stuff to have fun.
