Oh dear.<br/><br/>On another note ... I had a few free minutes the other night when we were waiting for my inlaws to drop my son off ... and ... are you sitting down for this? I actually organized one shelf in my pantry that was driving me insane.<br/><br/>It looks beautiful!<br/><br/>Now ... the rest of the pantry is a different story!

On another note … I had a few free minutes the other night when we were waiting for my inlaws to drop my son off … and … are you sitting down for this? I actually organized one shelf in my pantry that was driving me insane.

It looks beautiful!

Now … the rest of the pantry is a different story!

Together we will organize their rooms but I like them to be there for the process in order to teach them how the process works and the steps to follow. It's never too early to teach them the remove, sort and purge steps...lol.<br/><br/>Laura Debi, don’t get me wrong, I help out my kids all the time and that is definitely okay.

Another great post! I have just started coming here every day and it has already inspired me to get my house organized. Last night I dragged Brian through Canadian Tire to look at baskets and containers!
I really like the master list idea, that way I won’t feel as though I’m not doing anything in my house.
Thanks for sharing.

I love, love, love that idea of a master list! Definitely going to put that one into practice!<br/>We've used a penalty box for years now. And in general it's pretty useful.<br/>I do actually help my kids clean up their messes from time to time when they ask though. I figure that's okay, because they're willing to help me clean up my messes when I ask for help, too. What a wonderful interview! I love, love, love that idea of a master list!

Yes kids can be forgetful but our jobs as parents is to teach them that there are consequences to their actions. I never pick up after my kids ever and not because they always remember on their own (I wish!) but because I will call them on it and either remind them to do it themselves or confiscate the item....our house rule is if it's left in my space (the living room) it's mine. This system of putting something away that gets left lying around has worked amazingly well with both my big kids in the past. Some kids just need a little more training and discipline than others is all and for these kids this system might be just the answer. Anyway just my 2 cents. Thanks for your comment...I really do appreciate it.<br/>Laura Hey Tasha, I totally see where you are coming from and I know from experience that your daughter is well behaved and responsible (one of my favorites) but I do have to agree with Sheila that kids not picking up after themselves is disrespectful behaviour.

I enjoyed reading it and may just pick up a copy of it myself! BTW I wantes to let you know that it most certainly did help me to empty the entire closet before I cleaned it. I think that, had I been using this rule all along, many of my organizing tasks would have been far more successful! Thanks so much for all the wonderful tips! You are an organizing queen!!! :-)<br/><br/>~Haley Laura,

My 9 year old often leaves her things lying around and needs to be asked to pick them up and more often than that I pick them up for her and she is one of the most well behaved respectful and responsible kids I know. I don't think that taking her things away would benefit her at all so what if she's a little scatter brained at times that does NOT make her "unchristlike" and it does NOT make her a bad person. Anyways just thought I would let you know how I felt about this I will not be reading this book.<br/>Talk to you soon<br/>Tasha Hi Laura,
