OK, I'm really, really, REALLY going to do it today. **UPDATE** PICS IN REPLY

I'm going to declutter Joshua's room. It's a scary disaster in there. The poor kid can't play well with all the extra crap in there.

I'm going to try to take before and after pics.

Wish me luck.

<<pix pix pix pix> she chanted!

Take in several boxes. One for donations, one for the dump, one to give to someone, one for questionables. Don't pile things on the floor. I always get confused if I do that.

Good luck. Have fun!

And post pix!

I went through my ds's room a few months ago and it is *so* much easier to keep clean without all of the extra junk that was just laying around. I *wish* I had taken before and after pics because it was such a huge difference. Most of his toys are kept in his closet and he couldn't find anything in there before because it was such a huge mess. It's still not perfect, but I'm no longer mortified if a visitor happens to open his closet.

very nice. Ikea is the best isn't it. I don't know what I did before I found it! We have those cones that hang on the wall and you put stuff in them, the kids love them and they are really neat looking.
