The sunshine is peeking, seedlings are sprouting, and somewhere a baby deer is being instructed on the best flowers to eat from my garden: it’s Springtime!
And with Spring comes Spring Cleaning. We’ve all been told that the easiest way to keep the house clean is to be organized. “A place for everything” and all that jazz… But what if it doesn’t come naturally to you?
What if you are like me, and you do better when there are systems to keep you organized?
Then you’re going to love (and need) the clipboard that I curated for HomeTalk. Have you visited HomeTalk before? It’s a site devoted to the love of things Home and Garden. It features DIY projects, decor, gardening tips and inspiration, natural cleaning recipes, and organizing ideas. Better yet, you can “clip” the ideas that you like onto a clipboard that is saved for you. Create a “cleaning” clipboard or a “backyard patio” clipboard, and all of your ideas will be at your fingertips. I have found HomeTalk incredibly useful since I’ve discovered it, and was thrilled when I was asked to gather my favourite organizational tricks.
The result is my newest (and handiest) clipboard:
I’ve collected 50 ingenious ideas to organize your life (well, and my life, too). It isn’t a secret that I’ve been bitten by the organizing bug. Earlier this year, I shared my linen closet overhaul:
And now I’ve gathered a bunch of other tips and tricks that I want to try in our house. How about using a pant hanger for ribbon storage?
Check out this incredible space-saver. Turn a baby gate into a collapsible clothes dryer!
You can use tension rods as dividers for your cutting boards and serving platters:
Or how about this dessert-tower-turned-jewellery-organizer?
There are 45 other incredible ideas that take ordinary objects (ladders, old bottle crates, paint sticks, mason jars) and transform them into organizational delights! Check out the clipboard and tell me what you think!
Better yet, tell me which ones you try!
Follow Along!

I’m posting my clipboard on my blog tomorrow so I was spying on yours one more time… 😉
There are really some awesome tips here – it makes me feel very disorganized, but now I have lots of inspiration to clean up my act! (As soon as I find some extra time somewhere…lol) That tension rod idea is genius!

I can’t wait for your clipboard to go up! I’ll share the crap out of it! 😉
Yes, the tension rod is genius, isn’t it? The magnet-makeup one is another that I can see using in tight spaces. So many people have such genius ideas! 🙂

That gives you the possibility of taking the weight away from some components of the car in such a way
that it does not adversely affect the stability of the car and yet makes it a little lighter.
You should not just leave it unprotected and defenseless parked on the street.
Or for a simple trick, paint the body of the key with a colorful nail polish.
