Where does all the paper come from?

[homemaker carol]

Everytime I turn around I find more paper, be it flyers, paper from the kids, etc. I try not to let catalogues come into the house, however I've found a couple lately that ds wanted to look through. They've now gone into recycling.

This time of the year, it seems more paper comes into the house and yet even without Christmas, it still seems to grow.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

The school sends a lot of correspondence through e-mail, but we are still bombarded with papers from the school. It's quite a stack each and every week. Mail adds to the problem. The biggest clutter here is papers, toys and laundry. I can't keep up with organizing it all.

I can certainly understand the toys and laundry. :laundry1:

I wish I knew where it all came from. It's a problem here, but I've managed to get it under control...sorta LOL

When I bring in the maill, I stand over the recycling bin and toss everything in there that I don't need...before it comes in the house.

Neither of the kids' schools correspond via email yet, unfortunately, so I get a lot of paper coming into the house from there too. As soon as they come home from school, I go through their folders and recycle anything that isn't important.

It's gotten a bit better around here, but it's still a bit of a challenge :)

Michelle one of the challenges here is ds#1, being autistic hordes his paper. It tears them up into small pieces, collects every bookmark he can (doesn't use them), has a number of notepads and notebooks, hockey news, etc. etc. It's non-stop.
