Then again, we have four kids. :) Relaxing in bed with a good book, or even the laptop when we have some work to do, works well for us, and gives us a modicum of space from the household hustle and bustle.</p> <p>Plus, I&#8217;d add that declaring certain areas of the home &#8220;off-limits&#8221; to activities like reading etc. runs contrary to sustainability. Why not get maximum use out of each room??</p> Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:27:01 -0000 forums.thinkarete.com:503:92:636 divinitydancer http://forums.thinkarete.com/forums/503/topics/92
