Lauren Arnold I bought a 98¢ mesh lingerie wash & dry bag and put my kids bath toys in it....works like a charm! Has a zipper & loop. If it gets moldy (which it shouldn't since it's meant to be wet) I'll just get another since they are so cheap! I actually bought a few.

Jennifer Ervig I have to boys aged four and seven....I just teach them to clean up after themselves. For instance, my oldest made the mistake of eating a poptart in the living room this morning, I promptly fetched the vacuum for him and told him to get to work...two minutes later, crumb free living room once again.
Wendy Reese Ha... I actually have 5 children... 2 under 3 and 3 teens... And while they are all very capable of making a mess... It doesn't equal to the need to fill a trash bag while cleaning the living room... I think there are some good tips, I like the timer idea... But it is still funny to imagine the need to fill a trash bag from the living room...
Tam Chuzzlewit lol! I was half joking, I do think some of the ideas are good though :)
Barbara Glasser Someone want to come over & test this in my home?
Jen Heanue It didn't say "fill a garbage bag", and they also didn't say what size, lol. I think they said trash bag so you can take whatever trash may be in your Livingroom and automatically toss it once you're finished. Makes sense to me, so to each their own. ") thanks for the pin!

Creative people approach their work differently. Most of us don’t work 8-5, and we don’t have projects that we can plan to get done during the same times each day. The limiting factor for us is not the amount of time we have available, but rather the type of time we have available. Check out the planners at Productive Flourishing for help!

Susan Stearns Jennifer, that is so funny. I was thinking the same thing before I read your comment! No way my kid's bedroom would look like this for long
Rowena Murillo You guys, you're popping my fantasy! Surely my kids can learn how to keep things.... oh forget it. remove the kids it is.
Kerry Sauriol Lol was thinking the same thing. All these shows with these lovely rooms and the toys all stored obviously have no kids living in them.
Julia Philpot my favorite things is to see these gorgeous rooms with things hung closely to the crib/changing table it just makes me giggle.
Ana Perla Seriously though, my little tazmanian devil 16 month baby boy keeps his room tidy. He gets one bin out at a time and I watch and instruct him to put it all up before he can get another one out. I though it'd be impossible being how active he is so it's quite incredible and rewarding to see it in action! :)

Laura this is great... you can also find little adhesive tabs at Staples
Rowena Murillo Good idea. I'm in the process of making my own from graph paper.
Every time I have a new task that needs to be accomplished, I write it on a post-it note. If it’s pressing, I put it on the left page. If it can wait a couple of weeks, I put it on the right side.

Hang in There Bathrooms are notoriously space-challenged, but any wall offers triple the storage when you think vertical. Tier woven Nesting Baskets by looping twine through the corners; knot the top and suspend from a hook to keep toiletries and towels within ready reach. Could also do in the kids room... a place for little toys.

Clutter Jail. If the kids leave it out, it goes in the clutter jail and they have to draw a card out of the community chest and complete the task to get their stuff back. Free printables! So doing this. Great way to teach responsibility. This beats threatening to throw away the toys :)

Afton White My dad did this. I'm thankful now that I'm an adult and some of the more expensive toys confiscated are to this day still in 'toy jail' and therefor in great condition. Now maybe I can give them to my kids.
Brooke Cargill This works, I get a trash bag out when toys don't get picked up
Jess Collins i think i've been damned to an eternity of clutter jail.

Becoming more organized is not the goal. In fact, simplifying is not the goal either. Both are tools to help you reach better goals that involve people, plans, and dreams.

Gina Lee Once you sign away your "rights" to a publisher or corporation, its theirs. I worked in advertising and we used stock photos all the time. One fee and tons of pics. It is just a fact of the marketing world! The beef would then lie bt the publisher and the person using the image wo their consent. I was in an ad for a drug and had to sign away my rights to my images. It sucks, but it is fun to see my image end up in random places like Walmart or Target! See it as fun! Sure we aren't getting paid but do what you love with a kind open heart and the money will come! If anyone doesn't want their images online then simply do not put them out there. And always watermark! I only pin things after I have read them. At least I try to! Peace y'all and good luck!
Courtney Russell That was my whole point, that the beef lies with this person using the image without consent, and as Molly said, with bad type placed over it.
Christina Aaron I didn't read oll 13 comments here....but she does credit the source on her page...
Sarah Brown Towles I have a friend who loves this photo from Martha Stewart so much she has hired me to recreate the look with paint. Wooden blue boards on the bottom, linen paint technique on the top. It'll be a fun challenge.

Laura Monroe Awesome!!!
That was the best piece of advice i ever had : et yourself a calendar, and schedule the work you have to do in there. Make sure the calendar is the type where you can see a day or a week at at time (not a month at a time), so there’s room to write under each day. Then, mark in any regular commitments you have…Once you’ve got all that there, you will be able to see how much time you really have to work….In the time you have for work, assign yourself very specific tasks…Taking a little time to get all this in your book will do several things for you. It will become clear to you how much you can reasonably get done in a week. It will become clear where you might need to shorten your daily activities to fit in more drawing. And, most importantly, it will give you concrete goals, so that when you finish what you set out to do, you can cross it off and feel good about yourself, and you can also stop working, sometimes the hardest thing to do for a freelance artist. Knowing when you’re on and what you need to get done makes your free time, once you’ve accomplished these goals, truly free, guilt-free. And that’s the most important part of learning to make a life as a working artist.”

Devra Thomas Breaking down every end product into bite-size doable portions and then adding them in day by day has been the only surefire way for me to make progress on anything.
Rudi Petry I use my planner every day- it helps me de-stress so much! I've found that school planners (literally just any planner sold by a school or college) are always the best because they're not too big and they give you enough space to write on for each day. I've never been able to find a planner at a store that could stand up to a good planner.
