Simplify
So I have been working on different ways to organize and think that I am starting to get a handle on it- maybe:) I have just finished the playroom, well almost I still have some of the manipulative toys that I am not quite sure what to do with because the kids are constantly dumping them out. I got rid of a ton of toys, it was sad to see some go but things need to go. With four kids there just is such an accumulation of toys and junk and the paper.....oh the paper! I don't know what to do about the paper but there is constantly paper everyway. They cut it, they color it, they glue it, and they leave it all over the floor! It drives me crazy! If anyone has any suggestions about how to elliminate the paper mess besides taking the paper away all together(which i have thought about:) jk) I finally weeded through the kids books and got rid of a bunch. I am feeling a little bit more organized but I am still having issues planning meals and getting the other household chores as organized. I am trying to stick to my list but always feel like I'm in a whirlwind and never know where to start. I don't know if the kids constant interuptions or the long list but things never seem to get completely done:) Anyways if anyone has any suggestions on meal planning or organization that would be awesome:):) I just want to declutter and simplify and meals that I can plan ahead(like crockpot meals) Thanks for reading!

One thing you could do about the paper is to put the paper out of reach and only give them another piece when all pieces are picked up...of course we have the same problem and I love letting them use paper for whatever!
You are totally organized, I"m so impressed....I used to be...before children!
Wow, I could have wrote this post! Sometimes I think we can be too organized. I've found if I put more stuff into one spot or category it's better than having too many spots or categories if that makes sense. I'm new to blogging but finding it so encouraging for homeschooling and parenting! Thanks for the post! Merry Christmas!
