The Life-Changing Magic of Shoeboxes

12/10/2015

     I always knew shoeboxes were special.   With their sturdy cardboard, snug-fitting lids, and their not too small, not too large size. 
    Yet, I was always reluctant to save them – for fear of being labeled a hoarder, or accused of bias since I’m in the biz.
     Finally my instincts have been affirmed.  In The Magical Art of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo expounds on the loads of uses for the humble shoebox.  In her kitchen, bedroom, hall closets, and drawers -- she has never found any other storage item better than the shoebox.  I've "Kondo-ed" (as fans like to say) almost every corner of my house, and have found the shoeboxes to be every bit as useful as she claims.
    So if you need an excuse to buy more shoes, look no further.  The kids boxes are a bit smaller, and perfect for all the same things -- especially storing and organizing kids' underwear and socks.
