It’s the time of year many parents have all been waiting for, or on the contrary, dreading! BACK TO SCHOOL!

Let’s talk about how to make this transition as seamless as possible.

How To Organize Your Shoes
No matter who you are, shoes can quickly add up and end up in the wrong places. Not having them organized can also cause you to waste time in the morning when you’re trying to get yourself (and perhaps others) out the door and you can’t find the matching pair. Take notes with this blog on how to pair down (no pun intended!) and keep your shoes in check!

How To Organize Your Laundry Room

Read below to find out ways to keep your laundry room organized including recommended products that we love best for the space.

Backpacking Like A Pro
At The Little Details, we believe that organizing helps you make better use of your time so that you have more time to do the things that you enjoy, and ultimately, improving your life. Traveling is no exception. Even a low-key, low-budget, minimalist backpacking trek requires some organizing beforehand. We can help you avoid overpacking like Reese Witherspoon in Wild so you can make the most of your travels instead of spending more time searching your bags for misplaced items.

It’s BBQ season! What does this make me think of? Spices, spices and more spices. There are endless ways that your spices can be organized. What it comes down to is the storage space that you have to contain your spices in and how many spices you have. Now, let's spice it up!

How To Organize Your Business Cards
Have you been to a bunch of networking events recently and find that you have a fishbowl overflowing of other peoples’ business cards?

So let’s get you organized and help you make the most of your current and future connections!

How To Organize Your Travel Toiletries
Packing for trips is an art form. Not only are you forced to squeeze outfits into the limited space in your suitcase, you’re also forced to find space to accommodate your toiletries.

As we jump into Summer, here are some tips on packing each and every one of your toiletries while you travel!

How To Organize Your Linen Closet
Linen closets are one of the most utilized closets in a home and often one of the most disorganized.

Why You Should Become A Minimalist
Minimalism. For some people it’s a scary word, and for others it speaks calm. For me, it’s life-changing. My mind was blown after watching the documentary “Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things,” featuring minimalists Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn. I asked myself, “Can I genuinely look at every item in my home and say it has a purpose and makes me happy?” The answer was: absolutely not. While doing deeper soul searching after seeing this documentary, I was moved to buy less and, as a result, live more.
