It’s prison
life for me!
Oh to be in prison!
Wouldn’t life be GRAND?
Forget the ‘3 squares and a cot’ deal. What I would love is
the 1 fork, 1 towel, 1 plate idea!
Ahhhhhhhh! Talk about
SIMPLICITY!
Alas, I’m not in prison, but…………That doesn’t mean that I
can’t enjoy keeping things simple and organized OUTSIDE the pokey.
For example, right next to the back door (which is the only
door I allow the children to enter/exit so that the incoming dirt is
centralized), I have two areas:
- Raincoat/Rain pant hooks for each child with an area for boots directly below
- Baskets for each child (shoes, socks and winter apparel when appropriate)
These two areas help tremendously because each child knows
where his/her belongings can be found AND are more inclined to return their
items to their rightful place EACH AND EVERY TIME! <with 487 million reminders of course>
AMEN! There is something magical about knowing exactly where things are and where they belong... not just for kids but for adults.
ReplyDeleteThis isnt something that comes naturally for me but it is something I always work on. Thanks for sharing, I have always been amazed by how you make "simple" work so well.
