Thank you for the reminder! I have just added even more people to my home so it's going to become even more important that we all pick up after ourselves!

What a wonderful post to come back to….(I know y'all have missed me!)

Clutter, clutter, clutter. My husband says to leave it and just clean once at the end of the day, but I refuse to even walk outside my front door unless it is all PUT AWAY. There is nothing worse than coming home to a messy house. Tough love in my house, these days. If you bring your junk out of your room and then forget to take it back….you may very well lose a weekend priviledge. Becca doesn't play.

(By the way…I've missed you guys. Life has been interfering with my surfing. Dang it)

You are so right Heather. If I don't pick up after myself ( and my one-year-old) as I go during the day, my work productivity goes straight down the tubes. Clutter makes me lazy. Clutter makes me feel like watching a sappy Lifetime afternoon movie during the baby's nap.

Funny, when I first started working on LCD from home I thought I would have a cleaner house with less effort since I'm here all the time. But I've noticed that for me it's the opposite. I'm here all the time and have more opportunities to make it a mess! I've got to stay on top of it!

Absolutely. I am a huge fan of using Freecycle. We're lucky that our dump has a swap shed. We take a lot of things that are useless to us, but could be salvaged for parts and leave them there. It's like freecycle without the waiting or potential weirdo interaction.

if you want to keep your junk out of dumps, and actually give your old stuff to good use. clean up at the same time. I offer a website called http://www.freecycle.org

they offer several location based email lists covering just about all the cities you live in, if there isnt one there, start one, they offer the rules, club bylaws, whatever you need . including a place to host your mailing list suggestions.

the point is, you GIVE away things that are broken, unusable, don't want. dont' care about. quickly. without throwing it in the garbage just because it's "faster" doesnt mean it's good for the enviroment to chuck it.

Just be aware, pets and other things (like babies) are not allowed to be posted to be given away for obvious reasons.
