I got a bunch of Container Store's shoe boxes (clear w/ lids) and put DD's various markers, crayons, chalks, etc in those. We have separate boxes for tape & glue, scissors, and we're working on getting file boxes for coloring and her Kumon work books to go spine-up. DH is designing a homeschool, Montessori-style work/playroom in our unused formal living room to bring all the elements together, since some are above her desk in her room, some are in the office, and some are in the kitchen. I want something with doors that I can eventually close, b/c my mind likes clean lines to a room, and when I see bins and containers of toys/supplies, it makes me feel stressed. I was thinking of shopping Craigslist for an old armoire to stack these useful CS bins we've been using.

"You've probably heard the expression 'I believe in God, just not organized religion.' I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live. The expression would change to 'I can't deny what the church does, but I don't believe in their God.' At least then they'd address their rejection of God rather than use the church as a scapegoat."
