[quote=Anonymous]What you’ve noted is bothering you is toys and laundry piles. It really makes a difference to streamline your possessions. Way less toys and have large bins or baskets to throw them into. The four year is perfectly capable of chucking the toys into a basket to clean up. If they won’t, get a trash bag and put left out toys into it. This method will work pretty quickly. As far as laundry, unless dirty, kids clothes can be worn twice, and pajamas for days. Just change their clothes in the morning so they don’t eat in their pajamas. Capsule wardrobes are all they need. Doing small loads of laundry more frequently is much easier than letting huge loads pile up in my opinion. SomethingI do in the evenings occasionally after bedtime is set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes and do whatever kitchen prep tasks I can in that timeframe. Example: wash and cut up produce, pack lunches or snacks, get oatmeal soaking for breakfast, set the table for breakfast, etc. Small things that can make mornings feel so much better but I don’t force myself to do it all. It’s amazing what a timer can motivate you to do. [/quote]
