I wrote about your inspiration today (and lent, even though I'm not Catholic, I think it's a worthy practice.)

Very impressive! I love that you know that the things that happen off of this page are so much more important than sitting down to share them. But I'm sure that I can speak for many when I say that we are grateful for whenever and whatever you do share!

That is the message we all love you for and need to hear ourselves. And I have the fondest memories of my 18 month olds and messy toilet paper rolls. What is it about toilet paper rolls!? They love them so much. Cherish this stage for both of us. :)<br />xxErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807124281644480742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-2339812716477935672014-03-08T23:18:36.558-05:002014-03-08T23:18:36.558-05:00You inspired me a couple years back to declutter a...You inspired me a couple years back to declutter and keep at it almost weekly if needed and now I dont need to go on big burst of decluttering. It seems you no longer use the changing table for it's intended purpose do you mind sharing how you keep Janey's casual shorts, pj's, acccesories organized in your closet. Given her toddler age now do you foresee any bedroom switcharoos in the near future?Erikitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717469173207448677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-63531831954473846172014-03-08T22:34:39.070-05:002014-03-08T22:34:39.070-05:00I am dreading the basement storage room, can't...I am dreading the basement storage room, can't I just pretend it doesn't exist?!Samantha of the Ojibirish11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00915156466343787461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-34792120398718979492014-03-08T21:33:47.814-05:002014-03-08T21:33:47.814-05:00I am doing the 40 bags in 40 days this year.

Your writings have touched me in numerous ways. You have a talent that is so special.<br /><br />I started with my 40 bag project on Wed and am making great progress! . My daughter, age 11, got home today and saw all the organization I completed and went up to her room to clean and do her part! Without my asking! She is now tracked out for three weeks from year-round school, so we will continue to de-clutter and have some fun too!! May all us Mum's be blessed as we keep trying to do the best we can for our families and for ourselves! Cheers to you for writing what a lot of us think! <br /><br /><br />Team Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396349433531266688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-92197656527804721122014-03-07T18:53:27.370-05:002014-03-07T18:53:27.370-05:00My house could really benefit from 40 bags in 40 d...My house could really benefit from 40 bags in 40 days, but I'm almost too overwhelmed to start!<br /><br />In case you need encouragement, I look forward to your menu posts, and I've used several of your recipes over the years (the granola is a family favorite). I also just got a chance to read the first part of your sleep post and I am REALLY looking forward to part 2!<br />Your philosophy of motherhood is so refreshing. I'm so glad that you're putting it out there in blogland, and I truly hope it touches as many mothers as possible. As a mother of one (22mo), it helps so much to have a seasoned mom remind me that following my instincts will not fail my daughter. Especially when there is so much "noise" to the contrary out there!

Now every purchase I make, every gift I buy, every suggestion I make for something for the kids to friends and family --I think about if we need it, how useful, or will it end up in a bag? It has really focused me on what is important. Less is more. I now have extra money to buy organic food, grass-fed meat and save for bigger and better vacations because I am not buying crap that we don't need.

Even though I love a clean, organized home things seem to get overlooked (like our storage room) and I've been having fun getting rid of so much stuff the last few days and it feels great! Thanks again for the inspiration to get organizing.

You are helping to equip me with the tools to worry less about "being productive" and instead focus more on the truly important tasks of shaping young people to grow up and share Christ.
