Let's just start by saying, that I've had my zone list posted on the fridge since January. Not only have I told my teen daughter verbally, that come March, I was going into her room, but it's been posted and visible for everyone to see. Every time she gets a glass of water, it's STARING HER IN THE FACE! Come March 15th, there were no more excuses and no reason to keep me out. I've always included her in the big semi annual clean ups in her room, but for this go around, I've decided I'd give her 1 week to start the process herself. For the last week, she's been purging and organizing drawers and eliminating extra clothes from her closet. I still insist on making the final YES or NO decision, but enforcing the NO's is becoming less of an issue. So far, I've only had to say No when she insisted she toss out 3 pairs of old jeans. As far as I'm concerned, a few pairs of old jeans is absolutely necessary when packing for camping trips and motorcycle rides out at the farm. If it was left up to her, she'd wear her best skinny jeans, a beautiful blouse, a nice pair of high tops and a big bow in her hair. Being the fashion Diva she is, I kindly remind her that being a real fashion Diva means knowing how to dress appropriately for the occasion.
I’ll keep you posted on how it goes with Ms. Ciara, so be sure to check back for some great tips on how to clean and organize your teen’s room.
