the only thing i haven’t figured out how to control is the mail clutter! and “important paper pile”. still trying to come up with a strategy for those.

Whenever we have lots of left overs, I just make that meal "left over meal". As far as toys, I'd say once or twice a year we do toy/ clothes donations (usually around Christmas & Lent). Now that our school year is over, I cleared out the school shelves & got them all organized & already started stock piling paper, erasers, paint, pencils, notebooks for the upcoming year. I love organization & neatness. Clutter drives me nuts. I do the same, although not on a specific day. Whenever we have lots of left overs, I just make that meal “left over meal”.
