Before I show you my Tackle It Tuesday pictures, I thought I would share a few resources that I'm using to get my house in order.  We started this yesterday, and so far its really working well.   We do the Motivated Moms list during our morning chore time.  In the beginning of the week, I mark the list with my highlighter.  The jobs that I want the 9yo to do get highlighted in blue;  the chores that I  do get marked in pink; the chores that we do together get marked in orange.

Part of our afternoon chores is to spend some time decluttering.  For this I use the 2007 Decluttering Calender from Beth Dargis @ Encouraging Coach.

My tackle for this week is our master bedroom.  It is not a haven of rest for my husband and I.  The boys are always in and out bringing and dropping toys that end up scattered all over the room.

BEFORE

How many boys do you see?

Here is the beautiful bedding that our folks bought us for Christmas, all piled on the floor. That is a shame!

AFTER

I love having a basket of books and magazines by my bed.  I do a lot of reading, and this keeps all the books under control.  For a list of what's in my book basket, clickhere.

 YEAH!  My hubby will be so happy.  Thanks to www.5MinutesForMom.com for hosting Tackle It Tuesday.
