I can get my LR, DR, kitchen to be guest worthy, but not my upstairs.

Overflowing baskets of clean clothes that do or don't fit kids, may or may not be right season or fit a younger kid...

I don't know how to get through it.
I think a lot of it is Dec littering issue.

Help!

Why does the upstairs have to be company-worthy?

It doesn'tWink but it can't be disaster, like bins in hallways and bedrooms overflowing with clothes.


Separate question -
How do your daughters age 3-8 store clothes? Do I not have enough drawers for them?
I have enough hanging space for dresses and uniforms, but not for underwear, socks, tights, pj's, shirts, soft shirts, soft foldablr skirts...

What are the dimensions of your drawers and how many does each girl have?

What about storage for their 'stuff' from school, markers, prizes ... An under bed bin?

Pick out what each child has been wearing. Make sure there's at least a week's worth of clothes for each kid. Put their clothes in the closets.

GET RID OF EVERYTHING ELSE. Get them out of the house.

You should have enough room to store everything or else get rid of what doesn't fit.
Everything should have a spot. Sounds like you do need more dressers.
