I'm a librarian and our library has a great selection of magazines (I'll be checking out INSTYLE and REDBOOK, for sure!) If your library doesn't have a copy of a book they can usually borrow it from another library. They also might be available as ebooks using your library card. Okay...stepping off my soap box now. Thanks for all the ongoing inspiration, Jennifer!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999530060879252734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-36332457084456202252017-01-18T05:21:12.981-06:002017-01-18T05:21:12.981-06:00Thank you Jen!

We also utilize the library frequently to cut down on the number of excess books around the house (and donate ones that are no longer useful). Magazines though, I literally have "issues" when it comes to magazines. Ha! I have been collecting magazines for so many years now, that it is way out of control. It is on my list of items to deal with this year, and I will be sure to share what I come up with. xoxo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-52631780019873861722017-01-15T22:57:17.145-06:002017-01-15T22:57:17.145-06:00WOW! 10 children!

My question is, how do you organize and not clutter your space with all of the magazines and books? I find myself keeping so many (magazines especially), that I just put them all in a big basket which makes it really hard to find what I might need later.

Do snippets of the things you like in them & save those pages in a file on your PC...really helps with not having stacks & stacks of magazines. In fact I'm getting rid of 2 of my favorite magazines that go back to 1977 at my yard sale this year. Even if I only get 25 cents on each it's better than the magazine clutter. If I need to re-read the magazine on my save I put a note to what magazine & the date of issue.

With ten children that means tons of papers, crafts, notes, pieces of art, not to mention all the books (I always thing they are going to be read by the next child, but that hasn't always been the case...yet we have a mini library over here!) all the toys and clothes...and don't even get me started on all the socks in this house. Whoa. But I think this year I'm going to get the courage to do a major purging of the things we don't use or need anymore.
