Have you started your Spring Cleaning already? It doesn’t really sound fun when you think of all the hard work, right? Except when you receive an invite to take part of a Spring Cleaning Challenge from Walmart Canada. A good challenge is always fun!
To kick off the start of spring I was given a $100 budget to re-vamp a space in my home that needed some freshening up.
I decided to tackle my chaotic front entrance and find a way to organize all of our shoes. The shoe racks we had were not working for us and we were constantly tripping over the mess. Not safe when going in and out of the house with an infant and a toddler!
I made a quick trip to our local Walmart and found the perfect shoe storage system. The NeatFreak Storage Organizer ( $40.00) was just what we needed to organize our shoes and keep them off the floors. No more tripping over a mountain of shoes!
I also decided to sort and organize my son’s books in his room. He has a lot of books and the baskets we were using were not very practical because he was never able to see all of the books at once, half of the books were buried at the bottom and he was reading the same few books everyday. Enter the Kid’s Book Organizer from YourZoneJr. ($20.00) that I found at Walmart, the deep pockets hold books of multiple sizes and it keeps them from getting damaged. I now rotate the books in the organizer each week for him to have “new” books to read all the time.
I found great storage solutions at Walmart for both my front entrance and my son’s room and I spent less than $100!
Would YOU like to participate in the spring cleaning challenge?
