I mean, sure, there are tons of us with areas of messy and disorganized, but I have NEVER IN MY LIFE seen a house look anything like those shared with folks actually living in it! I can't even imagine getting to the point of depression that I lived like that, but apparently there are those who have lost their spirit to that point, and hence, the 'recovery' website.<br /><br />Sure motivates me to get moving on my trouble spots, though!<br />DeannaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315996496008524220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-79609413575233850002009-06-16T04:19:51.897-05:002009-06-16T04:19:51.897-05:00Good gracious thats some site :oO I have been read...Good gracious thats some site :oO I have been reading your blog for a while now,I found you through Growing in the Fens blog :o)<br />I am quite a tidy person,we live in a weeny cottage & things have to have a home or we simply cant *live*, yet with 2 young children & 3 adults here its needs keeping on top of all the time. I am a horror for getting laundry in & folding it into a pile & then....it gets plonked on the stairs & left there..until someone knocks it over....etc etc.I read your fold it as you get it in remark & thought blow me how come I dont do that now argg! <br />so that new habit will start today ;o)<br />I am a firm believer in too much stuff inhibits life,its harder to *live* if you ave to move something,balance something precariously when you are putting it down if theres no clear surface etc.Folks have too many possessions now,we dont need cupboards stuffed to the gills with 12 different types of glasses or 45 patterned tea plates,if you buy one that catches your eye then balance out bringing that extra thing into your home by sorting one to leave!<br />GTM xGreentwinsmummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188409963517296708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-25714080200251555012009-06-13T12:45:50.132-05:002009-06-13T12:45:50.132-05:00I have a confession.

I guess the biggest challenge is if you keep up with the work!!<br /><br />My results with my laundry is just amazing. You would not think that something like laundry could take stress off of your shoulders!!<br /><br />Although, my laundry and clothing was my biggest issue, I still have little issue's like cluttered cabinets and drawers that I am working on!! <br /><br />Can not wait to hear about the results!!<br /><br />Coming from the Stroupe home!!Jamie Stroupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651584048559518946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-54057655028515741172009-06-13T10:05:24.568-05:002009-06-13T10:05:24.568-05:00I never lived in an organized home growing up, bot...I never lived in an organized home growing up, both of my parents were pack rats, and because we constantly moved (dad in military), some things were simply never unpacked from the last move, and thus replaced or forgotten. If you can, try to imagine a basement full of boxes, of things you never use, and have no idea what exactly is in them! In my teenage years my now single mother became even worse than in my younger years, laundry was piled in the living room, bedrooms and laundry room. Dishes hardly ever got done after they were used and the floor was only vacuumed and swept when there was second layer of crud covering it. <br /><br />All this simply to state, I am terrible at organization! In the last 2 years of being a wife and mother things have improved immensely, I can keep things generally clean,and picked up, but always fail to stay on top of laundry...resulting in piles of clothes in my bedroom. Laundry is the bane of my existence. It's nice to hear I am not the only one!spring chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730319640232630911noreply@blogger.com
