Tackle Tuesday-Tame those videos and DVDs

Today, I have the perfect family project…

Organize all the videos and DVDs in the house.

Sounds like a big deal, and it is.

If you take the time to organize your videos and DVDs once a quarter (every 3 months), you will know where they are and be able to enjoy them as a family.

Here’s how we do it:

STEP #1-COLLECT all videos and DVDs in the house.  Check kids’ rooms, behind the t.v., and under the couch.

STEP #2-CHECK all boxes for the correct movie.  Very often I can tell in what order my kids watch movies because the last one is in the box of the new one and so on.

STEP #3-WIPE DOWN all shelves that hold the movies.

STEP #4-ALPHABETIZE-Ok, this is a little OCD, but if you do it once every three months, you would be surprised how easy it is to find movies.

STEP#5-REPLACE on shelves.

Below I added so photos for ideas of WHERE you can store movies.  You don’t have to have the “video tower” in the corner.  You can compliment a room by having a nice piece of furniture hold them.  You can also use bookcases, boxes and end tables to do the job as well.  Be creative, and remember, if everything has a place, it is easy to find and easy to pick up.
