Ok, so how many of you thought this would be a post about organizing your bum? You probably thought I had one too many cups of coffee (or some other plant-based product) because, really, how on earth would one go about doing that?  Maybe you thought I meant the back end of your website, but I’m not that clever. ;)

I actually meant that you should take some time to organize the storage unit that many of us carry around on a regular basis – the trunk of your car (well, maybe I’m a little clever).  Don’t you just hate hearing things bounce around back there while you’re driving?  I’m sure it’s no picnic either when you’re looking for something.

There are a couple easy solutions for keeping things that you frequently need on your day-to-day travels (for me, that’s office supplies, extra invoices, gloves, garbage bags, etc.).  Here are two options…

Keep a trunk organizer permanently in the trunk of your car to store things you need often, or for your grocery/supply runs.  The compartmentalized organizer allows many things to fit nicely inside by category, including toys, books, car maintenance items, first aid kit, sports equipment, etc.  If you keep the opposite side of the organizer clutter free, life will be easier when it’s time to put luggage or other bulky items in.

Not fond of the compartments?  A Rubbermaid laundry basket just might do the trick!  You can still use it keep your grocery bags steady and easily take them inside your house.  Note: If you use the basket for toys, diapers, etc., you may find yourself digging to get to things at the bottom. Even if everything is thrown in, they will be nicely contained and not strewn about.
