Organising my Daughter- Part 2

Still on my mission to create a sense of calm in the house, I sat down to think about what other day to day events create arguments between my eldest daughter and me. Now that i have solved the "getting ready for school" arguments that were happening frequently,  and put a stop to the "i forgot i was supposed to do that" dance that seemed to occur when asking her to do her chores, the next most common disturbances in the force happen at homework and room cleaning times.  So what can i do to help ease the tension....

Organising my Daughter Part 1

Its almost Little Miss 7's birthday. She is about to become Little Miss 8. And that means that its time for her job list to be updated. Every year i add a few more things to the list of things that she is responsible for . I am hoping to teach her that she is responsible for some of her environment and i am also hoping that some of my organisational skills will rub off on her.

Organising progress

I am finally starting to make some progress in master almost 2's room. It is easier said than done in my crazy household. I thought that i would get in quick with photo's of my progress just incase it does not stay organised and neat for very long. The room is not quite finished yet but i am pleased with the progress i have made so far. Its quite hard to organise a small room that needs to hold the clothes and toys of two little people.

Surrounded by mess

Do you ever have times when it feels like the house is against you? When no matter what you do you just cant get the house clean? It seems that every time i finish cleaning one room and move on to the next the previous rooms becomes a mess again, and not just a little mess either. It looks like a bomb went off in there. That is exactly what is happening at my at the moment and its driving me a little crazy.
