Our biggest clutter problem is mail. It clutters our kitchen island and table. At times I do my best to not let it bother me, but it really does! These stacks of mail can be ridiculous at times! I get the counter and table cleared off (I love it when there is absolutely nothing on these two surfaces!) but they never stay cleared for long. The biggest thing is probably the medical journals that Chad gets. I guess I just need to find a crate or something to chuck these in and let him go through them on his time. Sometimes I bring the mail to our desk, which is currently in our bedroom. So I don't really like cluttering our bedroom either. Hopefully our basement will be finished someday and we can move the desk down there.
Toys definitely clutter our house as well. But I am ok with this one. They are not overwhelmingly cluttering our house. Each night before bedtime (or after bedtime, we peacefully do it) or sometimes during the day as well we all clean up the toys. I guess I can tolerate this clutter more because we have 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old boys and I figure that toy clutter just comes with that.

I was smiling while reading your post because I feel the exact same way you do. Mail is definitely our most annoying clutter problem, and some of the things I can't just throw away or file away immediately upon opening them, so they just sit there...staring at me, and taking up space on the countertop in the kitchen. Very annoying. Let me know when you come up with a solution! :)
