It seems that my breadmaking/homemaking blog hasn't been much of a priority, but I wanted to at least give an update. My house as improved tremendously- How did I do it? I moved :) Not that that is a great solution, but we were renting and our year lease was up and we found a house that fit our needs a little better. After living in a big, old house in Maryland, that was so spread out and divided, I was so excited for the open floor plan. I thought it would be great to have my art room right by my kitchen and the laundry right there so conveniently and our homeschool room so handy- but every messy thing I did (art, cooking, laundry, kids projects) was right in my face all the time.
Now we have a play area in the garage (it is a very clean, well-lit, RV garage, so my workout room moved out there too), an eat-in kitchen that is separate from the family room, and best of all, a hobby room. It is a big room off the garage with two separate areas, plenty of storage, a utility sink, linoleum floors, and a north window in my studio area. That means our messiest activities: homeschool and creative projects, are totally separated from the living areas of our house. It is awesome! The other great thing is that there are NO toys in the boys' rooms. They do migrate a little, but all of the toys have a home in the garage- and it really is a nice place to play. The only kids things that have a home in the main part of the house are books!
