I love the ideas! I too am a wife and mother of 2. I also teach thrid grade full time, so keeping clutter at bay is a MUST in my home. We have "central station" for each of us. It is a set of drawers that I bought at WalMart and labeled with our photos and names. This keeps our paper trails to a minimum and everyone had an area for thier own supplies. I have a picture on my blog under Project 365 pictures. Thanks for the ideas and encouragement. I will be a regular visitor for sure! Theadora´s last blog post...

This is an area that I am really struggle with lately (the clutter), so thank you for this timely post. I am in the midst of working my way through the house, setting aside unneeded items for a (hopefully) large garage sale this summer. I really want to pare down what we own, keeping only what we need and love and truly use. It’s tough to be brutal about it, though, and I still struggle with my pack rat tendencies (but what if I might possibly sort of need this at some point down the road- heaven forbid that I should have to borrow it or buy it again!)

I really love the idea of a place for everything, and the very items you mentioned (keys, mail, kids shoes, toys, wallets) are the items we struggle with so much. I think that one of my summer tasks needs to be making our entryway and kitchen (unfortunately at opposite ends of the house) equipped with centers for putting things where they belong right away.

Thank you so much for the ideas and inspiration!

Love this! It is so timely for my family too. We just moved to a smaller space and in the process filled a fourty foot dumpster with accumulated stuff. I want to never, ever get to that place again so I look for practical tips to help me achieve that goal. With two kiddos, I know perfection is not attainable. I love these tips and I’m going to subscribe to your feed

I love the concept of having spots where clutter is okay (especially because that means it’s not okay in a bunch of other places). I mean, I despise clutter, but being 100 percent anal about it isn’t going to make me any happier. I also love the Paris bucket–what a lovely place to chuck something!

One of my big compromises is the junk drawer. We each have a drawer where we toss our daily junk. Since it’s closed off, I don’t care. As long as all the daily minutia is out of sight, that’s good enough for me at this point!
