I like that a lot! I have a purse organizer, but it is a long strip of fabric. This is a great solution, will have to pick one up! My girls & I both are big fans of purses & bags!

My 19 yr old stores keepsake stuff just like I do. Packed in boxes, the box is number labeled and has an inventory of what’s in there, so he can find whatever he wants when he needs it. My youngest, OTOH, stores his stuff all over the floor….unfortunately he can’t find a thing. If your dd does a guest columnn, I’ll have to have him read it. Maybe it’ll get him motivated. I have added you to my blogroll, I hope you don’t mind!

Oh Elaine that is awesome. Yes we are all different for sure and trying to get our kids to conform to our systems can sometimes lead to many headaches that is for sure. I’m glad you found a middle ground…compromise is good!

I’m a born organizer and have finally had to accept that I have not passed along my organizing gene to my daughter (age 16). As frustrating as it is/was, there has been real freedom in realizing that we have different hard wiring and that, to her, mess/disorganization is as comforting to her as it is distracting and unnerving to me. As a result, we have devised new definition for her for a clean and organized bedroom. Finally, peace!

She should write a guest column. It could be: “What’s it’s like to live with a completely obsessed mother” and my kids would be her number 1 fans. Then again, they may beat her to it..

[...] Compromising with your kids “If she can keep the stuff in her room off the floor in some kind of orderly fashion (not just piled 10 feet high on her desk) then she can keep it, otherwise it has to go. Meaning I will remove it from her room and give it away. I’m nice like that :)” [...]

Tell your daughter for me that is BRILLIANT and I will be using it for our two daughters. :)

Ugh!! I wish I saw this TWO weeks ago before I threw out my skirt hangers!! I never used them, so out they went!

Sigh…and I really needed this! Now I just use suit hangers for skirts. I don’t have that many skirts anyways.
