I even have the same rubbermaid containers!! Decluttering and organizing helps. I've been trying some fly-lady type strategies as well, even though I haven't clicked over to the website yet. We moved several times in the last few years and that has helped us. Moving is such a cleansing experience. I've found that with kids reorganizing is constant. I usually go through dressers and toys every 6 months. Right now I have Monday slated as 'kitchen' day, but that means by Friday it looks pretty bad. My mother-in-law does not sit down or rest at night until all of the maintaining tasks are done. She does that days laundry and dishes and picking up before plopping down in front of the TV. It is so hard for me, but maybe that is the answer... dunno. Michelle T.

I know how you feel and I don't have kids that add to the energy of the home front. I've been working on this for years ever since I got married. It really is sad that as a culture and society that our things tend to own us rather than the other way around! My goal is to be able to move all of our stuff (minus the furniture) out of our apartment in 3 hours or less. Right now we're paired down to about 6 hours. Good luck with the program!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
