All Housekeeping Points Expire at Midnight
My husband and I were part of a class that watched a video series called Marriage on the Rock. We liked it, but it didn't really fit a Sunday morning class schedule, so I don't think we finished it. However, there is one phrase that we continue to use. "All points expire at midnight." The speaker's point was directed to husbands. His idea was … [Read more...]
Found A Great Cleaning Schedule . . . Shoved in the Bottom of a Drawer
As I consolidated my craft closet and my craft/storage cabinet last week, I ran across something that I received at a mom's group meeting years ago. An older lady from the church spoke to us about home management. She had made up a cleaning schedule that she passed out. Obviously I knew I needed it because I kept it all these years. All these … [Read more...]
An Organizational Solution That’s Actually Working!
If you're a regular reader, you know I'm scared of trying to organize for fear of failure. It doesn't do a lot of good to come up with a big and complicated plan if you aren't going to use it. So I'm learning to think "simple." A shoe shelf right by the door where everyone takes off their shoes anyway. Coat hooks in the exact spot where coats … [Read more...]
What Have I decluttered? Hmmm . . .
What have I decluttered? I could show a picture of my garage, but it's just too embarrassing. I've showed some doozies, so you know it's bad. But it's bad because it's the stuff I'm putting in our garage sale (for which we now have a date on the calendar). So although full-to-the-max and with only a single-file path to get out to the … [Read more...]
Scared of a Plan
When I went to Orgjunkie.com to link my Menu Plan (and account of my insane and exhausting grocery trip) for the week, I saw that she's having a 28 day organizing round-up. I've successfully ignored these things in the past. But do you ever see or hear something and realize that you can't ignore it anymore? I've looked at her organizing … [Read more...]
Move . . . Fingers . . . Move . . .
Uh wn shpn.That's about as verbal as I feel right now. I just went on the shopping trip from . . . well . . . a difficult-to-relax kind of place.It was so bad that I had to call my husband and ask him if I could just vent for a few minutes. I love that man and how he totally understands and lets me be me. Basically, picture the most … [Read more...]
Normal People Scare Me
I love blogging. I'm generally an open person. But I don't tell any "normal people" about my blog. Other than my husband, my mother, and two friends who have known me and loved me unconditionally since Jr. High, no one in my real-life world knows. But sometimes it's hard to not mention. If it's been a busy week of posting and linking up to … [Read more...]
