I try to follow The Flylady - she also has a lot of great ideas of staying on track and keeping your home clean and clutter free which for me helps with my sanity! She has a website (www.fylady.com) and posts quite a bit of entries on fb. Check her out - she also has an online store although I haven't yet bought any of the products. :) ~ Michele P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845195637603537263.post-61663570759124177682012-09-04T22:25:42.548-05:002012-09-04T22:25:42.548-05:00I had to order one of the EC planners too!!

One thing I have implemented is "laundry days". Each of us are assigned a day for laundry (I get two because I do the linens and towels n things). On your designated day you take care of your clothes. Wash, dry fold and put away. Even my 6 year old does his. It relieves me from the never ending mountain and gives the kids some responsibility. It also then eliminates sorting- especially socks! We keep up with whos day is who's by using a responsibility chart which has been placed into a frame so that it can be reused over and over with a dry erase marker. the kids like marking it, I can easily see what's to be done and when it's complete. Baby steps, I know, but it's a start.J.

I love going through those boxes. They are now 3 and 18 months and they started daycare and preschool so I think I am going to take your idea if you don't mind :) Thanks so much.

So these kind of posts when people are so crazy busy with one, two, or three just really make me chuckle! I know, everyone's busy even if they have no children.

I can't see anything except the first few sentences and then the end. I haven't changed any settings on my computer so it must be some glitch with the blog website. :(Lorrainenoreply@blogger.com
