Chapter 26 Curate Your Life
1. Another resource that’s been very helpful is Gabrielle Stanley Blair’s Design Mom: How to Live with Kids: A Room-by-Room Guide. She discusses every room in a family home, including entryways, laundry areas, closets, and all the other little nooks and crannies that go into the workability of a home. She certainly addresses the major rooms and how she conceptualizes their purposefulness, but she also emphasizes the small spaces that either help our homes work or get in the way of the dailyness of living with lots of hands and feet in one house. Her suggestions have really helped me think through what is and isn’t working in our home and where I might allocate resources to create a bit more functionality. All in the name of keeping every one of the five Tanks in our household a bit more sane.
