Put it away…

Post-it note to self. Things I learned the past week. If it doesn't have a home, find it one or toss it. If it has a home, put it there when you are done with it.

Bagging up the problem

BREAKDOWN ALERT!!! With only 15 minutes until the school bus, my laundry situation punched me right in the face. My seven year old couldn't find pants...again. This is a theme for us as he can never seem to find pants or socks. I. Lost. It. Through tears I dug through piles of questionably clean clothing …

Day Ten – Like a train wreck

I don't have a "regular job" and my husband works these bizarre hours from way early in the morning to mid-morning. Honestly, finding a schedule that works for me has been a real challenge this week. I have regular hours at my shop and I have scheduled obligations for the kids (bus times, pre-school drop …

Day Seven – Part one

I don't have time to blog this morning but I will make a committment to be back this evening with a more in-depth part two for the day. Yesterday was busy for me and I ended up my day exhausted. Ill spare you the details right now, but will explain more in part two later today. …

Day six – almost a full week

Yesterday I slept in. Today it was my husband's turn. I realized as he leaped from bed that this was the case so I jumped up to help him. I know, because I am doing the 15&Me, that starting your day with chaos can throw a whole host of things into chaos for the rest …

Day 5 – Rounding out the work week

Slept in today. It's Friday and a little reward was in order. I "slept in" until 6:30am. Honestly, my bladder couldn't hold out any longer. Sleeping in means that the kids will be up, and 2/3 of them were. Unfortunatly this means that I had to get vitamin C chews for them, turn on My …

Day 4 – Kids and clutter

I'm back at it today bright and early! The 6am hour seems to work best most days for me and my family. My husband is usually already off to work so making the bed is a breeze, the kids are still asleep (most days), and the house is quiet. Today appears to not be "most …

Day 3 – Practice makes perfect

Yesterday was kind of a big deal for me and this whole process. I had a few heart-to-heart conversations with people and I am beginning to realize how I got where I am with all my clutter. Remember yesterday morning and my husband stealing my coffee? Yesterday evening I had a little chat with him. …

Day 2 – Who stole my coffee

Preparing your coffee pot the night before to save you time is a great idea I can totally get behind...if...your spouse doesn't wake up for work at 3am. He stole my coffee. Even though I had totally prepped my coffee pot to save me some time this morning, I still had to make my coffee. …

Preparing for a Yeti attack…

Kitty gave us these questions to think about tonight as we prepare for our day tomorrow. I guess thinking ahead is a big part of this and being pro-active; two things I have struggled with. My plan is to reflect on them tonight during my bedtime meditations and spend my morning (let's call it "15&Me" …
