I have found a great way to keep the family's resident "paper monster" from consuming us all!
Each member of the family has their own kitchen drawer. This is great for school notices, mail, subscription cards, notes and any other pieces of paper that stack up around the kitchen area.
We also use it for mini-clutter, you know . . . stuff like my daughter's hair stuff, my son's pokemon cards, etc.
Even have one for the pets for the leashes, medications, grooming stuff, etc.
It is so easy just to chuck the offending article into the appropriate drawer and helps with instant cleanup. You can pick up a small 4-6 drawer dresser at a garage sale and paint it up
to fit your kitchen decor. It's the first place we all look if we can't find something now.
Happy chucking!
