It’s so simple. But you’ll be so happy you finally labeled your chargers.
This post came about when Raizy Stern of @ClassyPacis tagged us when she added this simple home organization hack to her life. If you remember, Raizy was the one who gave us the full rundown on garage organization a few years back in this post.
Now, Raizy was getting frustrated that there were tons of wires and cords in her home and she didn’t know what matched up with what.
The solution was simple. When a chargeable device enters the home, both the toy and the charger get a label. It’s a solution that might have been in the back of your mind, but you never actually followed through.
Well, we took Raizy’s advice and charging has gotten way easier (we also made a bin designated for all household chargers that aren’t constantly plugged into the wall).
There is especially relevant now in summer – did you recently bring out all those outdoor or seasonal toys…and you don’t remember what chargers go to what? Do the matchmaking only once and get those labels done.

You mean: An easy reminder to organize your chargers with labels

No, read it as: An Easy Reminder to Organize Your Toys-with-Chargers
ie, how to organize these types of toys? Answer: With labels.
Personally, I’d do: “An easy way to remember which toy charger is which”
However there is a typo – it’s “cords” in this case, not “chords” (that’s the music kind).

Haha! Yes, I was also wondering how to use chargers (thinking of the things you put under plates…) to organize toys! ;P
