Remember how I received the bestgiftever this Christmas? The labeler? Besides labeling the dog kennels, I’ve really put this baby to work. As you know, we got our new fandangled desk recently. We had to move all of our files and electronics stuff to our new desk. What better reason to de-crapify and streamline our files. The latest issue of Real Simple made my heart flutter with all of their office organization tips. I whipped out our trusty P-Touch with clear labeling and went to work.

I first emptied the drawers of our old cabinet. It was ugly. Almost as ugly as the pantry…I went to Office Max in search of the perfect hanging file folders. The standard issue green wasn’t doing it for me. I found these pretty blue ones with coordinating files. Behold.

I labeled all of the files accordingly and sorted all of the junk. It is fabulous. My favorite part? Everything is easy to find! I love how the electronic cords are all wrapped and labeled. No more fishing around for the camera cord.

What have you organized? Any tips we should know?
