I found the following courtesy of "The Organizer Lady." I wish................my family had this memorized and lived this out! :) If you are blessed enough to have young children, start training them NOW! I know it seems hard, but believe me, it doesn't get easier when they are older!

I love this!!! Although I must admit that a few of these are ones that I (not just my family)need to memorize! ;)
Love this! So, so true! I've been working on a few of these w/ the boys. Some they are still too little to get, but I better start now, huh? ;)
