The Hub is command central - you have one in your home too, I'm sure - where the phone and calendar reside along with random pieces of leftover schoolwork and forms, bills to be paid, a gathering of pencils & almost inkless pens cohabiting with dull scissors and maybe a letter opener, coupons from last week's paper and coupons that expired months ago hiding under a letter from a friend you've been meaning to respond to. I could go on and on and you'd be able to find ALL OF IT at The Hub.
If you're wondering about now why I'm rambling about this shameful little mess in my kitchen, get ready, here it comes: I want to know which spot in YOUR house is always the messiest and why. I want you, Dragonfly readers, to take a picture of your spot in its current condition and email it to me. And then we're going to commit to making it better TOGETHER! Maybe I'll even post some of your before and afters with permission. Because really, I hate The Hub. I hate that this little corner continues to make me feel like I don't have control over anything at all when it comes to the cleanliness of my home. And I am ready to fix it.
So say goodbye to 1) the pile of paperwork 2) a calendar I can't use because it's covered with stuff, 3)leftover Halloween costume materials 4)the bowl of pacifiers 5)postcards needing to be mailed 6) the jar of family home evening ideas 7) this dysfunctional, not used file box 8) things that need to go to the baby's room 9)leftovers from our bout with flu and 10) Hannie B's excusal note {what is that still doing here? see why we need to change?}

There are some areas in our house which seem to defy order and organization: the hub and the playroom are the main culprits.
But, most of the time, I'm comfortable with that chaos. In the Hub, as long as it can be made to look organized in a 10 minute period of time, I'm good. For the playroom, it's essential to close the door and turn off the lights!
Oh baby, have I got something for you. Watch your email!
What exactly are you going to do with the pictures that I may or may not email you? Your mess is so pretty compared to the danger zone that is my 'Hub'.
Hubba, bubba....no way am I participating. Actually I've contained my Hub to a basket...kind of.
That picture is tame compared to my "HUB" very tame! My laundry room and desk have always been the areas I can't seem to get any control over.
It really does not look that bad...at least you've got some defined sections. My hub is complete dissaray...I don't even know what's in each pile and I can't even find my calendar half the time. Would send a pic, but the problem is I couldn't commit to making it better because I have bigger areas of disorder to work on...good luck!
I've not been entirely truthful.
The worst culprit is actually our basement. It's so bad that I had a dream about it on Halloween night. There were alligators living down there and small children lost in the rows and rows of stuff.
Needless to say, I can't yet face it during waking hours.
