It's like dawn breaks on Marblehead....

Last night, after some struggles -- we managed to finish Princess Petunia's bedroom.
One room down - two more to go.

We purchased and installed a 26" LCD television in her room.
It was on sale -- and it has a DVD built in, so we completely eliminated a bunch of clutter and mess in her room. It's now rearranged, and completely utilized to the fullest. The television has a beautiful picture - and with the lights out, it's like she has her own little movie theatre!

She's 4 years old -- and she's got a Chick Cave.
(Man Town, Chick Cave....yes, we've got lots of nicknames going on in this girl's house.)

Now we've got to focus on T's room. Even when we purchase a tv for his room -- he's got a storage issue; we keep purchasing racks for DVDs and movies -- and it's so much clutter. Never mind the fact that he doesn't do well at putting his things away, so there's games and movies just shoved in - and we all know how irritated I get about disorganization and clutter....

But then I had an epiphany this morning. (Sound of a ringing bell HERE. Like an angel getting it's wings....)

Who need ugly racks that just take up space, and make it difficult to keep organized and together? He tries, he's only 7 -- and it's just making me be irritated with him over something so foolish. Why wouldn't we just get him the organizers that are like photo albums for him to store his games? It doesn’t require organization or tidiness - he can put them however he likes - and it will clean up so much space in his room! Why didn't we think of this before? He'll be happy -- I'll be happy....we'll all be happy! We'll be the happiest house on Earth! (Okay, I'm getting carried away, but you know what I mean....)

So when I leave work today, before I pick up the kiddies - this girl is on a mission and is stopping at Target to pick up the necessary storage that is not only kid friendly - but "Mom approved".
