Cleaning out the Clutter

Today I got fed up with all the clutter and finally decided to do something about it. I told my husband that we were going to clean out our drawers and closet to make it more spacious and get rid of the clothes we never wear. We made three piles: one for keeps, one to give away and one for the garbage. It went by very quickly and left us feeling accomplished.

I am a very orderly person who likes to have everything in it's place. I decided to move this lesson onto my 16 month old. He may not understand it's a lesson, but he can help his momma keep things orderly. It's so cute to watch him put things away. Mostly because he immediately grabs the stuff and makes a mess again. But still, it's nice to see him making the connection.

For those of you who have young kids and you are growing tired of picking up their stuff, take some time to teach them now. I'm sure the hard work now will pay dividends later. Until next time, Be Well.
