I like to keep them on their toes.

Melinda, you crack me up. I love how your son kept the hall pass thinking you might want it (why, oh why?), but your reaction is classic. You can tell that you have a good sense of humor and I bet it rubs off on the rest of the family.

Only one flaw in the clean room. He likes to keep my dishes. That will make an article for my other blog.

That had to make you feel great, congrats to the both of you!

Hmm, I’m going to have to check out that article. I recently helped my seven year old daughter clean her room, and in a few days it looked like a cyclone hit it, heh.

I would have to either use it when he was in school or beg to use it and have him watch/critique my workout. Now that it is summer..forget it.

I have teen twins so I can relate to your story. You are lucky your son lets you exercise with his Wii. Mine are very careful to make sure neither I nor their dad touch any of their gadgets. LOL! Glad to be connected with you!

Oh no. Yes books stacked all over the place can be a mess. My daughter had me remove her bookshelf so she could fit her drum set in her room (a whole other space nightmare), which left me packing up books (that eventually my 4 year old will read..many years from now) in boxes in a closet. You can never have too many bookshelves in a house of avid readers.

I like how you focused on the cabinet earlier. One of the things that really caused clutter in my house growing up is that I needed books but my parents wanted to spend nothing for bookshelves, even though it wouldn’t be much money long-term. So of course very nice, expensive books I was reading regularly had to go on the floor (in piles, of course): there was simply no other option.

In other words: if you’re going to fight clutter, make the resources you need available. Living with less doesn’t solve any problems if “less” is inadequate.
