Hi all. I'm new here. I really do need to organize and learn to use coupons, and live more simply. Me and my DH are due to have our 3rd child in June. We live in a very small house, 800 sq feet, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and it looks like we'll be in this house for at least 2 more years. Our oldest child, our daughter is 2-1/2, we have a son who is 10 months, and new baby is due June 14th. Yes, we're insane. Actually baby #3 coming was not planned and is a total surprise, though we are looking forward to him/her.

I am not an organized person but really need to change that. I know it will be a nightmare here if I don't learn to declutter and get things in their place. We don't have a whole lot of storage space, but i'm hoping I can really utilize what we do have and make it work.

Hope to learn a lot from everyone and get to know you all... hopefully I can contribute a little help also.

Welcome! I am terrible at home organization, but lots of ladies here are wonderful at it. There's lots of other ways to help you save money to help speed up your goal of more space. Do you live in California or NYC? Congrats on the pregnancy. Stay with us - lots of support for preggo moms, too!

Welcome to the board. I am also in a small living space with lots of kids. I am in a small 3 bedroom trailer with 4 kids. We just moved here from a large farmhouse last September. We can learn organizing tips together!

Welcome!! I love mommysavers - it has been a blessing for me! I have 3 kids also!! You will find all sorts of help here. Just remember, it is not the size of your house that matters, just how you use what you do have and love your family!! All 3 of my boys share a room!

I have 2 signs in my house you might enjoy - one is "love lives in cottages as well as castles."

The other is "Dear house, you are really very small. Just big enough for love. That's all."
