Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. — John Kenneth Galbraith

Organization of a Home (HOW TO with Unschooled kids)

I think I’ve read just about every organization, Feng Shui, and “simplify your life (and stuff)” book out there.  While I agree with much of it, I’ve yet to read how to do any of this while kids actually LIVE and LEARN in the home every day.  So, I’ve created my own simple “How to” [...]
