Custom Closet Setup for Kids

Keeping ourselves is organized, but helping our children do it can be quite a chore. To make finding items in their closet much easier for them, consider a custom closet organizer. It will help them keep their room cleaner and also help them learn about organization at a very early age. To make the project fun for them, let them assist with picking out the closet organization system as well as installing it. 

For the best results, consider a custom closet organization system that you can change down the road as your child grows. This also gives you the option of helping them reorganize their closet in the future. You will want to consider your child's ability to reach the top of their closet. If they can't, then organize it to where the most common things they need to reach are at their level.

Placing a clothing rod lower than what is standard in an average closet allows them more independence to hang up and choose their own clothes. It will also give you one less chore to do. They also can't use the excuse that there is no place in their closet to put anything! Even if your child can reach the top of the closet, adding a second clothing rod is a great way to have more space to hang up clothing. 

Adjustable shelves can be place at lower levels for children to store items easily. You can them higher them up as the child gets older. You can also resort to placing items that aren't used often on the very top shelves where you can help the child access them when needed. Colored milk crates work great for this, and they are very inexpensive.

Adding hooks work well for hats, robes, and jackets too. To save even more space in the closet, consider hooking them on the inside of the door. A shoe rack is a necessity for any child's closet. How many times have you had to help you child locate a shoe? You can also use a hanging shoe rack. If it is too tall for the child, hang it as low as possible. You can put the shoes that are for rare occasions in the high holders for the child. You can also cut one in half and have to shorter shoe holders. These fit well on the inside of a closet door as well. 

Keeping in mind that the idea behind a custom closet organization system for your child is to make it simpler for them, not for you. Each person has their own way of organizing, so let your child decide how items will be grouped. You can give them some pointers, but your child will be more willing to keep their closet organized if they get some say in how it is going to be done. A combination of hanging space, cubbies, drawers, shelves, and shoe organizers can help you and your child tackle this feat. 

Customizing the storage space in your child's closet can turn it from a location of chaos to a well organized place to store their clothing and other personal items. Since the needs of a child are continually changing, you should consider adjustable closet organization products that can change with your child. You can find the right products to organize a closet for any age of child, from an infant to a teenager.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

The death toll has risen to eight after Saturday's explosion triggered by detonators illegally manufactured and stored at a residential building in north China's Hebei Province, local authorities said Monday. Five more bodies were retrieved while rescuers were clearing the debris in the city of Baoding, the city government said in a statement late Monday. Another 27 people are still under treatment in hospital, it added. Two suspects, a 38-year-old man surnamed Ge and his 42-year-old girlfriend, turned themselves in to police Monday noon in the eastern province of Anhui.

U.S. economic data reacts to crude oil price

Crude prices rose on Thursday as U.S. economic data came in positive and continuing unrest in the Middle East caused supplies fears. Market sentiment was boosted after the Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product expanded at a 2.7 percent annual rate, much faster than 2.0 percent it estimated last month. It was the quickest quarterly growth rate since the fourth quarter of 2011, helped by faster inventory accumulation and export growth, which offset weak consumer spending and a drop in business investment. Meanwhile, a report from the Labor Department added to the upbeat tone. The report showed U.S. initial jobless claims declined 23,000 in the week ended Nov. 24 to 393,000, as effect of Hurricane Sandy faded. Pending home sales climbed 5.2 percent in October, surging to its highest level in more than five years, according to the National Association of Realtors. Traders were closely watching the situation in the Middle East, in particular the viole...
