When kids don't clean...

If you guys haven't seen this idea, you must check it out!! A creative alternative to the constant clutter of small children and the back ache of the mother always bending over to clean it up. Check her out!!!

Madsens Memories....: Mom's ransom rubbage...

Another great suggestion I received from a fellow mother at church:

~ charge the children floor rental space fees.  When her kids leave things on the floor, they are charged a quarter a day for it to sit there.  If it ends up in Mom's storage bin, they must pay to have it removed.

I am going to have to work some of these into our lives.
