3. Velcro your remotes to the side of the coffee table or your TV.
4. Hang your bags with shower curtain hooks.
5. Utilize your under-desk space.
6. Make the kids a stuffed animal pen with bungee cords. They’re easier to find, easier to put away. And your child gets a kick out of having a zoo-like pen for all the stuffed animals. http://akgriffiths.blogspot.no/2012/03/you-are-my-inspiration-pinterest.html
7. When cleaning the bedroom, always make the bed first.
