Getting your Spouse to Help Organize

 

the hint....                                                       the after~

hint hint.. is my method of choice...

Sometimes it's a post-it note on the bathroom mirror asking for hubby to "kindly choose 5 shirts that could be donated".  Once you get them going you'll find 15 shirts and 6 pairs of jeans on the bedroom floor. I did. 

This day, it was a big ol' HEY honey while your sittin' there can you go through this pile of magazines and pick out your favs to keep?  Subtle maybe, passive aggressive could be...EFFECTIVE why yes it was thank you very much.  Doesn't my tower look nice?

What works for you?  Do share we all need to be in-the-know!

Ah, if only my husband would respond to the post notes or the casual asking of mags he would like to keep.
He tells me keep them all & I'm not donating nothing.
Good times around my house.

Wow, I think I need your organizing help. I am tring to organze a bunch of craft materials and art supplies and am on a hunt for a good craft table. I am thinking that the right furniture for the job may be helpful. If only this kind of thing came to me naturally... sigh.
