So what good ideas came from your conference??

I echo a lot of what other's have said already. With Elizabeth being quite stubborn our clean time can be challenging. I try to keep on top of her in that if she's playing dress up, as soon as I notice she's done I ask her to clean it up. Obviously the less the mess the easier ot clean it up. She also knows quite well that if she doesn't care for her things then they go to Goodwill. Generally if she's putting up a fuss I will tell her that if she doesn't start to clean up by the time I count to 5 then I will do it for her but they will be given to Goodwill.
