I want to raise generations of children who not only know how to manage a home, but their resources and their time. I am going to commit to getting organized starting NOW. Purging things that are not blessing our home will help tremendously. I find I am a much more cheerful wife and mom when things are in their place. Blessings to you!Jennifer :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06913862013683159085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-71667137453861802302010-10-27T14:44:53.024+10:002010-10-27T14:44:53.024+10:00I'm really overdue to get some more organizati...I'm really overdue to get some more organization into my world - it's going to be a busy year, and the more I can do on this front, the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-28386273627697730632010-10-27T05:50:09.296+10:002010-10-27T05:50:09.296+10:00There is a website www.flylady.net which grew out ...There is a website www.flylady.net which grew out of something called "Sidetracked Home Executives".

I went down to the basement to look for my silverware and spent 2 hours sifting through all the boxes only to discover they had already been unpacked. Arrrgh! This is something I really need to concentrate on because it's driving me crazy. Once fall settles down here and I'm not having to spend so much time preserving food that will be my first priority.Tiff :o)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08739610974348146697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-7609406053600975282010-10-25T22:45:24.224+10:002010-10-25T22:45:24.224+10:00Hi Rhonda,

We live in an apartment with a lack of kitchen space (at least space I can easily reach, lol!) so I am going to store things that I do not use at least weekly, only keep enough dishes in the cupboard for daily use (as in one cup, plate, bowl, ect.. for each of us so I will HAVE to wash them after each meal) and some other ideas. I figure if I get the kitchen under control, the rest of our home will follow but I know I must make the time to organize or it won't happen.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128057686583815229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-35790330253169515542010-10-25T21:05:50.088+10:002010-10-25T21:05:50.088+10:00I would love to join you because I am having a gue...I would love to join you because I am having a guest for Christmas but I know I would fail miserably.

Until then my dear husband still works 12 hr night shifts and it just isn't possible to get to the worst spaces right now. Once he gives his notice he'll have day shift and I can set to work. I've already vowed to myself that the new house means a cleaning routine and serious organization.
