Everyday Clutter

It is really amazing how clutter accumulates in our house. The effort of cleaning and organizing our things is so much more than the time it takes for clutter to take over. Here's how mad it is right now.

I've taken this out of the office the weekend before I left for Singapore. And it is still untouched a when I arrived. This is the sight right outside the home office. Piles and bins of papers and what-nots. I really need to make a dent on my to do cleaning list.

The sure sign that Justin lives here. His wooden blocks on the floor of their bedroom. The boysare now outside the house playing with the kids in the neighborhood.

I'm thinking he left this here in a hurry to go out of the house. I mean Justin. That is his toolbox book right on the stairs mid landing

Looking down from the stairs this is what I see. Slippers, my dirty clothes in a plastic bag still unsorted in the laundry, my luggage, my laptop bag, Justin's bag and Drakey all cluttering the living room.

And in the kitchen, our travel bag with extra clothes of the kids and the toy bin so out of place on the floor when it can be stashed into the mudroom. The yellow plastic is for trash.

My bags inside the home office.

Without a househelp and with three boys who have no concept of organization, this becomes of my home.
