Thanks Harriet that's a great suggestion. I think I'll go try to see if I can find the old posts. The organizer took a before picture of dd's room and will take an after picture of it when we're through.....wish I had done that with my everything room.
On the subject of tv shows.....yes, love "How Clean is Your House", "Clean Sweep", and "Mission Organization". Some of the houses on "How Clean is Your House" are very scary.
Hi Liberty. I'm just catching up....been very busy around here lately. I've read Peter Walsh's book.....it's great. Found out about it from another message board and our local library actually had a copy of it.
Update on decluttering. We're still in dd's room..... I think it's going to take hopefully only 1 more time with the organizer.
This past week we got a huge amount of her room done. Got rid of a leaf size bag full of donate items and 1 1/2 leaf size bags full of trash. The organizer is really trying to get her to think about why she saves different things. Also, trying to get her to rethink collecting so many different kinds of collections. Now instead of just being able to open the door all the way and walk into the room.....there is now floor so we can walk all the way to the other side of her room. Dd is getting better about downsizing.....such as she had 3 planner books and 3 wallets.....got rid of 1 of each. Also, weeded down the backpacks and pocketbooks. We also found library books(definite no-no....we do have a library basket in the living room) that had been missing as well as some of her homeschool books. Has been nice to be able to walk into her room. She spent the night with a friend the other day and while I was catching up laundry, I could actually go in her room and put folded clothes into drawers. Normally I hand her her folded clothes, tell her to put them in the drawers, and she's been leaving them everywhere but the drawers.
