I have three children -- four, three and one - and I am pregnant due in Nov. 07. What a lifesaver that book was! I have to admit, I still haven't been that great at it, but I have been spending a lot of time with my head hanging over the sink, too. :-) Oh, what fun....but anywayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-4449429852695299372007-05-02T05:33:00.000-07:002007-05-02T05:33:00.000-07:00What a wonderful post!!

Clutter is a constant battle but this article helped me to have the will to tackle it once again! I have a mom like you who is an encouragement to me as I see you are to your daughter. We are blessed!

When I go through and remove everything, but candles, our books we read at meal times and the napkins I feel so much better.<BR/><BR/>Also, I love the link for the May Day baskets. It has given me enough time to prepare a special treat for our near neighbors this year.<BR/><BR/>Thank Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-36610569693839242452007-04-16T12:44:00.000-07:002007-04-16T12:44:00.000-07:00we have noticed that and have been trying to remov...we have noticed that and have been trying to remove this feature.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-76655017159141481562007-04-16T12:39:00.000-07:002007-04-16T12:39:00.000-07:00Very practical post.

Your music choices are nice, but they make your website load a lot slower, and there is no way to turn them off when I am listening to other music already. It's a big turnoff. I would like to see a way to hit pause/stop at least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-6201916023587225302007-04-16T11:32:00.000-07:002007-04-16T11:32:00.000-07:00Kitty: It was amazing how the simple act of removi...Kitty: It was amazing how the simple act of removing and relegating papers and books, pencils, pens, and any office things, to one room, created the atmosphere for neatness. It freed her completely of the messes she had been fighting for years. I don't mind dirty dishes in the kitchen, because that is to be expected. I don't even mind them all over the surfaces there.

My mom came to stay with us for a week after I had my fifth child last month, and she also helped me get some messy areas under control (mainly the childrens' bedrooms and their bathroom.) She also checks in with me to see how we are maintaining those areas, and I even email her pictures of our gleaming tubs and neat closetsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
