Hi everyone,I am fairly new to the board and to the Happy Housewife blog as well. I wanted to stick my nose in here for a minute and share one thing that works well for me with my daughters room.
My dear daughter is not a naturally organized person (takes it from her momma),her room has been a total disaster more times that I can count. I can still hear the echo of my mothers words coming out of my mouth when speaking to my daughter about it. "If you only clean as you go then your room wouldn't look like this" Funny how things like that happen!
Finally out of frustration hubby and I were looking in the organizing dept. at Lowes and I seen this thing. It was like a rack with 4 levels and plastics bins that fit on each level. I was like OH YEAH SO COOL! and showed hubby. He agreed!
And to boot they came in PINK! Presto! They are so neat,you can label each bin or for younger children take a picture of what goes in each bin so they know what goes where. When she wants to play with something or get art supplies or what not she can go to the bin that is for that item(s) play with them and put them back when finished. Or at least that's the idea,she's still resistant to picking up and putting the bins back but with a bit of urging from me she does it.
