--I got this idea from my sister, Megan, not Aimee. It has made my life sooooo much easier. Instead of using dressers in the boys rooms I use these crates in the laundry room. Now I just fold laundry and pop the clothes right in their bins. It totally eliminates having to pack them in the basket, carry it up 2 floors and unload it in their room. It's really great because I usually do laundry while watching some pointless tv show when the kiddos are sleeping. Before I never wanted put their clothes away at night, for fear (and I mean fear) of waking them up. Now I don't have to worry about that.
--I put everyone's bathingsuits and towels in a bin, so when we're going swimming I can quickly grab everything.
--My other favorite thing is our devotions system...For a long time, meal time way my nemesis, the boys were always silly and messy and I would be cranky...I came up with a little devotion packet. Each day of the week we have a Bible verse, song, and we pray for specific people and a country. I try to do this with the kids at each meal. It really has made mealtime more calm and I'm less cranky:) It's also fun to see how quickly they pick up on the verses, too. Caleb knows how to spell the days of the week from reading the cards everyday.
Super cute! Thanks for the link :)
