I just love you. Really, I do. This may sound a little cheesy at first but I have followed your blog for almost four years now and have implemented more of your solutions than I can say. Everytime I think of your blog I feel a tremendous sense of gratitude for all the great ideas that have made a significant difference in my life. Just recently we did our Wanda party and it was such a smashing success that I can hardly begin to describe it. From the week of preparty spooks and team bonding to the night itself, everything just came off fabulously. We even set up a photosharing website to post all the pictures and pranks that everyone did because there was so much. It is http://violaandhilda.smugmug.com/ if you'd like to see it. I had to change the name because my friends are way too computer savvy and would have figured it out through a google search if I would have left it as a Wanda party. It brought a HUGE group of people together (literally and figuratively) in a meaningful way. I've used the scripture stickers for my Activity Days girls and our Joy School preschool group, the hair ideas have been fun, we have our own version of the family big board and I just got started printing off the holiday planning pages. Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you. I really love you because you've touched my life through service. It has genuinely made my life richer. Your ideas have given me more ability to concentrate on the things that are meaningful to me, instead of just getting bogged down in the details of wallowing in clutter. When our clutter is under control, I feel free to focus on people instead of stuff. :) I really wish we were neighbors or something so I could come mow your lawn to show my appreciation! Warmly, Karla Maria,

As a person who struggles in that area, I find your tips easy to implement. And they really help my family! I also love the wanda witch party, but I haven't tried it yet - maybe next year!

What can I say.. I know a good thing when I read it! I must say my favorite posts so far have been your Back to School Solutions 1-4. I can't tell you the sanity you have saved me. My daughter is now getting ready herself and I feel my job as mommy to teach her to be responsible is finally starting to be sucessful. Thank you and keep the organizing ideas coming!

As far as organization goes, I like the ones about the swimsuit shower hooks and the daily clothes organizer. Wanda Witch is probably my favorite blog post on ANY blog that I’ve ever read!

In general, I love being organized but coming up with ideas/solutions does not necessarily come easily to me, so I really appreciate that you are willing to pass along all your great ideas -- thanks! I love and have implemented the important documents notebook (it made getting passports for our whole family a LOT easier!) and the kitchen cupboard organization tips. I also have used the family bank, as well as the weekly planner for my school-age daughter. Pixie flips quickly became a favorite for me to use with my girls (I have three), and I LOVE the birthday baking kit idea -- I have already used that a few times. Your Mom Game Plan also inspired me to make a spin-off chart for a meal-time schedule, which was an area that we were having trouble with. (And the chart really helped!)

My favorite tip was probably your simplest one. I loved the idea of keeping plastic grocery bags in empty crystal light containers. I use them for trash bags so I keep one container in the car, one in the bathroom, one in the diaper changing basket etc. What a great idea. Thanks so much and keep them coming!
