One of my favorite ways to stay organized has just gotten even better. I've been using ListPlanIt's printable lists and organizational pages in my homemaking binder, menu plans on my fridge, shopping lists tucked into my purse, and anywhere else I needed them for the last several years. Personally, I still love printable lists. I'm a pen and paper gal at heart. These days, though, I'm sort of without my pen and paper. As we're traveling this year, we don't have printer access, nor do [...]
Fall always finds me preparing new schedules and routines, re-organizing, and yes, writing lists. There's something about getting back into the regular everyday groove after summer that just makes me want to get organized. I held a garage sale a couple weeks ago, have been setting up a new homeschooling binder for the year, am tweaking a daily routine for myself and the kids, getting back to meal planning, and all of those good things that make my life run a little bit smoother. Whenever [...]
*Giveaway has now ended* As I take some downtime this winter to recover and allow my body some time to heal, I am also contemplating my schedule for the upcoming months. One of my major goals has been to clear a lot of the busyness off of my plate, making my schedule more realistic with a whole lot more margin for rest, the regular interruptions of daily life (messes, unexpected visitors, phone calls, etc.) and mostly for being able to stop and savor those golden moments that [...]
Introducing the first of four families to receive a Real Food Makeover!

As requested, here are the closeups of some of the pages from my homemaking binder. Believe me, if you're looking for someone's routines and schedules to emulate, mine probably aren't the right ones! Organizing is something I strive for, but not necessarily something I always achieve. And please always remember that when I share things like this, this is just me. Just my family, our season of life, our preferences, etc. It shouldn't tell you the "right" way to organize your own home or time, [...]
My poor hubby. He really dislikes piles, and yet he married a gal who's just a little bit "out of sight, out of mind". Thus, I'm a piler. All through the Christmas holidays, there was one particular pile that continued to be moved around from table to table, dresser to desk, and back to the table again. I am thrilled to announce, though, that the pile is soon to be completely gone as I am nearly done my recent recipe overhaul! My recipe organization has [...]

You could join me [...]
