Designate a donation basket

[Raleigh]

I'm going to use one of the baskets in my laundry as my donations basket. Most of the stuff that we donate is the clothes that the children outgrow before they outwear. Although I feel a change in the air

I think iPads and Kindles are going to save a lot of space in people's homes! So organized!

I have done this in the past with a paper bag in the kitchen, but that is in the way and looks a little trashy. This time I placed a cardboard box in the walk-in closet in my bedroom under my clothes in the closet. I hope I will remember to put stuff in it when I find things that belong there.

Thanks for setting this task. I feel as though I am ahead of the game already I save all my pretty paper shopping bags for this purpose. I have a 'Smiggle' one on top of the downstairs fridge at the moment - shall work on filling it by the end of this week.

I couldn't find a place but beneath my bed

I think the trick to this is to act quickly! I have a box under my desk but have yet to move it...which I will do now!

We are building a house so this will be awesome to get rid of a lot of stuff we don't want to pay to move!

I used a large plastic storage bin with a lid, and lined it with a large trash bag. I placed it in the guest bedroom so it will be out of the way, and if we have overnight guests, I can easily remove it to the garage and the contents will be protected since it will be covered. Once it's full, I can just pull out the bag to be taken to charity, and line the bin with another bag, all ready to go again. I've already placed a few items in it that are unloved and in need of a good home.

While the kids are out of the house this morning I finally made a start on my Organize in 5 actions. It feels so good!

The donation box is now in place. I have a few friends having babies in the coming months so I have put aside good clothes and toys to pass on. Some of them brand new. People can be so generous when you have a newborn, I found that I didn't use everything. Not to mention how quickly babies grow. Some of my favorite outfits for the kids were only worn a few times. It's nice to be able to pass them on
