Does your house look like a tornado just blew through?
Do you look for something and can’t find it even though you know where you put it?
Do people confuse your house with the local recycling center?
When your kids are playing with their toys is it hard to tell the kid from the toys?
Well, it sounds like organization is in order.
1st thing you need to do is make 3 piles:
Go through all of the stuff and decide whether to keep, toss or give away each item. If you or the kids haven’t used it in say…. 6 months to a year.. toss or give it away/sell, depending on the condition of the item. Hopefully when you get done your keep pile will be much smaller than your give away or sell pile.
The next step is to have a place to store all you want to keep. You don’t want to end up in a mess again. Get some nice containers or shelving units with doors. If you don’t want door then get some nice decorative baskets to store the items in. You can use plastic containers marked with the items they contain.. use a label maker to make it nice and neat.
You can use Space Bags to store big, bulky items such as extra pillows, blankets, seasonal clothing, etc.
In closets, get closet shelving units to add more space. You can get them at any home improvement store.
For the garage they have all kinds of wall/shelving/storage solutions at the home improvement store too. Things for hanging bicycles, gardening tools, tools and all kinds of things.
When you have your yard/garage sale for all of the things you are getting rid of you should have money to help pay for all of your organizing needs 
Remember… don’t let it get messy again. Go through everything at least once a year to keep your home clutter free.
