My mom visited all last week and it was great. I enjoyed talking with her and I felt like it was a wonderful opportunity for my children to get to know her better. Duncan, particularly, was like a purring kitten after a little extra grandma attention time.
The only problem with having my mom visit is that it reminds me of what a poor housekeeper I am (Despite some at times half-hearted, at times a lot more than half-hearted, efforts to be otherwise!). Somehow the neat and tidy gene that both my parents seem to have has skipped me. I inherited their desire for neat and tidy but not the make-it-happen part.
Anyway, one of the truly helpful things she did while she was here was to organize our games closet which had fallen into a state of entropy so complete that some of us doubted it could ever be restored. Et voila!
The Pfamily Game Closet: What a difference a grandma makes!
I was so inspired by the transformation that on Monday I tackled my own clothing closet and completely cleaned it out. Take that, entropy!

This post is about entropy and grandma appreciation. Come back tomorrow for a discussion of which games are good/fun and why. I’d love to hear what’s in your games closet!

This is the second post I’ve read today about decluttering. I suppose its time I tackled a project or two.
My 11 year old daughter and I love to play Mastermind. I play the Guess Who games with my 5 and 3 year old daughters. We have 3 versions of Guess Who. The game is quick, easy and fun. I hate playing long games with my kids especially when the loser starts crying. With Guess who you just keep playing unitl both parties win.
Can your mom come to my house? I have a food/storage/holiday stuff/wrapping paper closet that is in need of a major makeover!
