Well, I have been spending the past few days trying to get things organized better around here. I had tons of clipped recipes and craft ideas that needed to be purged/filed. I am such a closet, magazine article and recipe hoarder! lol So, my big thing lately is to purge, purge, purge. Our recent move helped get this need going and I have tried to keep it up even though we are all moved in and settled. It has been a very freeing experience to get rid of so many things that we just don’t need and were bogging us down.
My table has been a mess for several days now as I try to get a system down that will fit me and my needs the most. The hardest part is fitting things to me! I tried to put together a control journal/master plan book/homemaking book. There are so many great ones that you can look at on-line. But, that just didn’t work for me. I am such a HUGE visual person. I need things right there and I hate to admit this, pretty. lol So, I found this really cute, wire desk-top file holder at Target and some fun, pink file folders at Wal-Mart. After I get things put together, I’ll post and let you know how I have things set up and how it’s working for me. I think it’s important to share, because I am getting a lot of my ideas from other people and putting them together in a way to suit me. Hopefully something I share can help someone get their home life a little more organized, too. I am embarrassed to admit that I have missed school activities and my children have missed birthday parties because I have lost important information. I can’t let this happen again because of my lack of organization! So more later and hopefully my table won’t be so messy the next time I check in. lol
God Bless!
