I try to keep it under control and then on Sunday's my husband helps me clean the whole house, when he is helping I get more motivated:) Also have you ever participated in a child's consignment sale for all your kids old toys and clothes? I love them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412511017862246567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995470535422842454.post-16965826508512224122010-03-19T04:06:35.599-04:002010-03-19T04:06:35.599-04:00I know exactly how you feel.

We have 7 people here and if a little is not done everyday...well, I am sure you can imagine the piles! Luckily I have learned to utilize my sources...my two oldest can now do their own on their laundry days. :) Good luck with your spring cleaning...I am just trying to get my life back in order with our remodeling!

I just shared with my moms group that while the rest of my house is fairly organized my laundry room is like an episode of hoarders!!! first of all, it's SMALL and you walk through it to get from the garage to kitchen.

If they haven't used it in the last year it's been donated... bags of toys left the home, it felt so good. I had a b-day party for my 7 yr old and her friends came over {one of them hadn't been here since last b-day party} and she said hey where did all the toys go... my daughter said we gave them to the poor cause we didn't use them anymore! I ws upstairs and heard this and smiled HUGE!!! they haven't missed them.<br />Laundry though never ends... wish i had a solution but you are not alone!! :)<br />xo,<br />LuLuLuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649086729644979781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995470535422842454.post-73096568573618450922010-03-16T17:01:53.117-04:002010-03-16T17:01:53.117-04:00Oh, I love all of your comments.

Lol, I did just watch a few episodes of hoarders with my sis the other day, and it is super motivating. I just wish I could stop the bringing more in to replace the old, but aside from never watching t.v., reading a decorating magazine, or leaving the house...I know that won't happen. Till then I'll organize a little so I don't have to feel too guilty about spending time doing what I love.Carrie Ann Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553785215200345343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995470535422842454.post-43568380281183614932010-03-16T15:37:33.892-04:002010-03-16T15:37:33.892-04:00What's worse is that until all of these chores...What's worse is that until all of these chores are done and that laundry room looks like heaven, then you feel guilty for spending any time on yourself or your hobbies! At least I do...What is that? Does anyone sacrifice themselves as much as a Mom or Wife? I think not. At some point you have to think...In the future, will I be happy I spent time with my family and friends or will have I enjoyed being a Stepford woman! If organizing makes you happy and calm then go for it, if you find you don't have the time for weeks or months then HAVE NO REGRETS!labonnefemme1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08189324554138659900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995470535422842454.post-2494148564158206532010-03-16T15:06:16.862-04:002010-03-16T15:06:16.862-04:00All you need for motivation is to watch an episode...All you need for motivation is to watch an episode of Hoarders!!!!!!Miss Fruityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147874198682977589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995470535422842454.post-67116279010517646132010-03-16T14:56:47.992-04:002010-03-16T14:56:47.992-04:00Oh my, I TOTALLY know what your saying!
