So what is an organizing page doing on a parenting site? Well, several things.  Having an organized home sets the stage for children to better manage their own homes as adults.  Keeping the clutter down reduces stress, and a clean environment actually encourages creativity.  Getting home management systems into place means that things run more automatically and you have more time for family fun.

Okey dokey. Thus begins a list of organizing resources for your viewing pleasure. As I write posts on the topic, I’ll link them here as well.
