Parents in semi big families that are semi organized, semi structured, keeping it semi together - I need some tips! *keeping book/diaper/other bags from taking over *getting laundry from dirty pile to actually folded and put away *dishes! *staying on schedule *keeping schedules straight *etc etc etc The house is spiraling! I need a game plan with two young kids, one on the way, husband works ridiculous hours, and there's no money for a maid. What tricks do you have that help keep you sane?
