it was inspired by my sister, who is GOOD at organizing toys! That was so fun. Before it would just get heaped into different containers on the floor. If I was lucky.
i have an affinity for any type of container, drawer system, bin organizer. i get giddy when i find them on sale and i want to buy them all even when i have no current need for such things. because, seriously, what if i think of something tomorrow that would be just perfect in there and then it's not on sale anymore? huh? what then?
wow Sherilin, that is my sister. She goes nutty for bins, boxes, containers and beach type bags. Me? Shirts. I loves me some shirts. Shirts are not helping the problem.
I looked at the pics then pressed play......jeez you never cease to make me laugh. what in heavens name is in your head that could possibly put that music with kids toys....but it is so dang funny. NOT what I was expecting.
YEAH! YEAH! RIGHT?! Melissa, now I have to smooch you because you noticed the song! See, this is why I'm tormented so much of the time. Because of this brain. It even HAD to be the instrumental version.
BTW, our lives are parallel. Bobina and I went off on our kids last week and made this big deal about all 3 girls cleaning the their rooms. You could eat off they're floors when they were done. Of course...by yesterday, back to normal. sigh
My boy is 17 and a pig. I gave up a long long time ago.
Out of 4 kids I had one clean freak( girl), one very tidy almost clean freak (a boy) and a lazy piggy daughter and a lazy piggy boy. Now that the piggy girl moved out she admitted to me she was lazy...and lives with a room mate who is more lazy she and now she cleans after her.
And the piggy 17 year old? His room is at the far end of the house and I just don't go that way anymore.
Oh I hear you. What I DIDN'T take a picture of is this pantry which has drawings spilling all over the floor and everywhere. Oh, I also shut the mental door on Jack's room. It's a pit of despair right now.
I gave up on a clean room for my daughter a long time ago! She's 17 and I've just accepted that she is a slob. Just keep the door shut, otherwise I might go crazy!
Oh Heather, I don't expect this will last long,but maybe I could get one of the pics blown up and pasted on the outside of Ella's door??? YES! BRILLIANT!
well, it makes me feel that way too..and yet, I am far more hap-hazard by nature, so it was only through the wisdom of my sister that I was able to attain this state of tidy beauty.
Great Karen!! But how long will it last lol??? I love little girl's rooms...I wish i had one to decorate...Oh you just know it would be over the top!!!
nice!
ReplyDeleteand soothing--don't forget the soothing part, Lance!
ReplyDeletePlease ask your daughter if I can come over to play. It looks so nice. (I promise to put toys away and I am sick of Lego.)
ReplyDeleteooo Leanne...I'm considering doing a ten second video on how I deal with Lego....
DeleteIt's actually FUN to pick up her toys now!
No wait...that sounds sick.
Ten seconds??? Do you use a vaccuum? Shh, whisper, okay? The boy is standing right here and I don't want him to know.
Deleteyeah, I've vac-ed up small accessories in the past on purpose, and I did NOT feel guilty about it.
Deletei spent some quality time cleaning up in my girl's room tonight too, but i didn't get quite so organizey as you clearly did. nice work!

DeleteWhat I do with decor you do with humour and witt.
Deleteooo...that means I'm AWESOME
DeleteOoh it's like valium for the soul!
ReplyDeletePlease adopt me...

ReplyDeleteOh Lance--oh how I know that it doesn't last long! That's why it's one of the most unsatisfying jobs of all--it doesn't last!

No matter HOW much I danced and yelled about cleaning rooms..It never lasted. So if they want to live in filth go for it.

ReplyDeleteOrganization makes my heart leap out of my chest with joy. Yes, I am a nerd.
ReplyDeletewell, it makes me feel that way too..and yet, I am far more hap-hazard by nature, so it was only through the wisdom of my sister that I was able to attain this state of tidy beauty.
DeleteGreat Karen!! But how long will it last lol???
ReplyDeleteI love little girl's rooms...I wish i had one to decorate...Oh you just know it would be over the top!!!
Well Pam...it's lasted over a week so far!!
DeleteOh yeah--you'd make a beautiful girl's room--that's for sure. Why don't you start hiring yourself out as a home stager/interior decorator???
I am totally chilled after that. Thank you. Another cocktail, if you please. xxxx
ReplyDeleteand ANOTHER COCKTAIL FOR ME!
DeleteI'll be by later to help make a new mess.
ReplyDeletedamn Laoch, that's too easy.
DeleteSo clean and puuuuurty! I hope it lasts through the week.
ReplyDeletePS - my plans for the evening include beginning The Feed, per your suggestion!
AWESOME! I loved that book! At first it comes off as a goofy teen novel, but it's really smart and subtle.
