Feeling very overwhelmed today. We have a realtor coming tomorrow. My house is a mess, and I feel like I’m the only one that has an issue with this. It’s a constant battle to have shoes put on the rack, even with my husband. Clothes are left on the floor, socks all over the place, dishes and wrappers on the table. I’m at the point where I just want to take a garbage bag to everything that is left out nightly. Done with my rant.

FWIW, we found that using a basket to collect out-of-place items at the end of the day works pretty well. S hates any kind of clutter, so he'll just take the basket and go around the main area and throw things in the basket, then stick the basket on the table and everyone has to go through it and put away their own stuff. And if no one claims something (like a bouncy ball or LEGO or bird feather they brought in....), it goes in the trash.

That is such a great idea rugger. We constantly have stuff piling up on the counters and it drives me crazy.

I try to remember (and remind S!) that the kids probably don't even register the things...or they just don't know where to start. So, a basket of crap eliminates the clutter everywhere you look AND gives them one central spot to focus on. Game changer, for sure

I stowed away a bunch of toys in totes and labeled them. (E actually did this) so now I have a basket with nothing in it. It has now officially been named the “crap mom found laying around basket”!

I’m on the edge. I trimmed my own hair today and had to talk myself out of bangs more than once.
