Clearly my daughter has gone through a growth spurt. These are the clothes that no longer fit:
Twice a year (spring and fall) I go through the kid’s clothes. This past weekend it was my daughter’s (11) turn. Here’s what I do. I go into her room, I dump every drawer as [...]
Remember last August when I went to visit my sister in Ontario and helped her to do this:

Well it turns out that my organizing freakness abilities may have rubbed off on her because just recently in preparation for their new baby who will be arriving next week (yay!) she [...]
Put up your hand if it drives you crazy when toys are all mixed up and scattered all over the house?
Me, me, me!!
Seriously I go a little cuckoo if I find toy sets (like Little People, or Pirates or Pollys or Lego) separated and taking up residence in different rooms of the house or even [...]

You see, although it might look like a mess to [...]
We have a playroom downstairs for the kids. I have tried so many different systems for containing all the toys to no avail. I’m not a fan of the toybox - except for dress up clothes - because toys seem to get buried at the bottom and it’s impossible to keep all [...]
