I have a 3yr old kid. He has accumulated a lot of toys. He is free to scatter them in the living room during his playtime but he is also the one who puts them back in his toy box when his done playing with them.

Wow, I am surprised at how many others grew up in homes too cluttered to invite friends over. That was me, and sadly, I have just continued the tradition. When my kids want to have a friend come over, I have to do major cleaning and tidying. I think I am just lazy, and I’m going to try to put an end to this disarray. I’d love to stop worrying that someone might “stop by” and Ill have to find a reason to not let them in!!

I need to stitch these on a pillow… one of my Mid-Year Resolutions/Lent improvements is to improve my housekeeping. Thanks so much! I linked to this on my weekly roundup, the post is under my name.

Great post and so very true.

I hate to housekeep… granted, I do go through periods of being a whirling-dervish (LOVE THAT SAYING LOL), but for the most part, I would rather play. But, if you just put stuff away when you use it, life is SOO much easier. Can’t wait for the boys (yes, DH is included in that) to learn this concept. :-)

These tips are even more important for those of us who work outside of the home in additon to homemaking. I go back to work in five days (oh no!!!) and that will *force* me to get up before our children. Right now, my three-month-old is my alarm clock.

How do you negotiate with a spouse who likes to hang on to stuff, “just in case”?
