When I walked into my daughter’s room tonight I found this on her table:
That my friends is no ordinary box.
That’s a box for storage.
A storage box made by cutting the top off a kleenex box.
Made by my daughter.
For storage!
Be still my heart.
Want to know what’s even better than that?
A storage box made out of a kleenex box WITH inspirational sayings on it!
I think she may be on to me though….I wonder what she wants 🙂
Michelle says
hmmm,, me thinks she does want something..very clever of her though…good luck with the daughter..;-)
Lora K. says
That is a really cute idea. So creative of her to come up with it. I’m going to share it with my girls…. maybe it will inspire them!
Debi says
Oh yes, I am definitely showing Miss A this post!!! A little peer inspiration will surely go much farther than a pile of dumb old mom suggestions.
Jane says
It rubs off, eh?
Avlor says
Fabulous! Helps to know that somewhere down the road I won’t be directing all the organization. 😉
Beth (A Mom's Life) says
The box alone would be impressive enough but inspirational sayings too? Wow!
FishMama says
That is so cute! How old is she?
Susanne says
Wow, that apple didn’t fall from the tree did it? :v)
And what struck me is how neat everything is inside the box. Good for her.
Scratchin' the Surfa says
I’d say the apple didn’t fall far from the tree – which will serve her quite well throughout life! And that’s a dandy idea actually, especially since I just bought about 99 boxes of kleenex, all in the same cute design! So when is she starting her own organizing blog?
Omaha Mama says
That is so cute! Obviously you are modeling such behavior – you go! It’s nice that she’s going that route. I think I went the opposite with my mom, trying my best to be a slob, since she was always tidying. Hmmm…
Tamy says
You must be so proud… she’s following in your footsteps!
Marcia, Org Queen says
I LOVE IT!
Now *that* makes me do the happy dance – seriously 🙂
Laura says
Well except if you saw the rest of her room you might think differently..LOL.
Fishmama she is 11.
momrn2 says
This is perfectly fantastic! The inspirational sayings are Great!
LaskiGal says

Annie says
She is a pretty fantasic girl!!

This is a great blog and an excellent example of how blogging can be used effectively by organizing companies. I wish you had been at the presentation the other night – we could all have learned from your blogging experiences!
ciara says
i likey!
Stacy says
I love your blog! I am an organization-junkie-wannabe. I would love to have an organized, relaxing home…but I have no idea how to do it. I do believe, by reading some of your posts, I may get some ideas on how to make it happen.
Neek says
Priceless….She’s a smart girl!
d-ann says
WOw! That is pretty cool 🙂
Shannon says
Too cute!!!
The Roost says
That is so awesome! I am proud of her and I don’t even know her:>) Smart girl!
Tina says
That is so cool 🙂 I’m yet to see any of my kids picking up on my organisational traits…lol
Suzanne says
Tell her that I could see the work she put into making this really special. It looks beautiful & functional, as well as inspiring.
Diane says
I love how much we can influence our children. The box is cute great work!!!!!!!!
Lori - Queen of Dirt says
Be still my heart. You must be so proud!
Shelly G. says
Very cute box… maybe you could have her do a tutorial… For other young girls with organizational mothers 🙂
Debbie JordanKravitz says
That’s great! Isn’t it wonderful when your kids “get” you!! My 11-year-old just started her OWN blog, Tween Life. My husband can’t believe he now has 2 bloggers in the house hogging up the computer!! But I love having something else in common with her to bond over.
Mrs. Wilson says
Oh wow! That is so neat!!! She’s following your example!
Jennifer, Snapshot says
This gave me a BIG smile! The sayings look like something my daughter would do.
jodi says
I know just how you feel! One day I caught Savannah reorganizing my tupperware cabinet. Why, you ask? She said it was fun! YES! I was excited too! 🙂
Mrs. Phillips says
How sweet. I learned so much about organizing from my mom now I drive her a little crazy with it. Beware!
Chelsea says
I’m new–I’m inspired–I’m totally cutting the top off of a Kleenex box. Great blog. I am going to attempt to put together a weekly menu. I’m loving your site.
The Lazy Organizer says
How cute! Hopefully our kids grow up to be organized. I keep saying my son’s wife is going to hate my guts if she isn’t a neat freak because he is going to expect an organized house! I guess it’s possible that my kids could go anti-organized when they get out on their own but that will be their problem! At least I’ll know I did my job by teaching them.
