Today is Organize your home day! I think it is kind of funny that we have to have a day named after organizing our homes! But it is true a lot of us live in chaos. Each day we come home we don’t know where to put things and they just pile up. Or maybe you are one of those people that do really well keeping your physical home clean but it is pure chaos in your mind!
How disorganization affects me.
I don’t know about you but for me when my house is a mess then I am a mess. I must have things clean around me or I can not concentrate or get work done. This can be challenging for me since I have four children ages 8 to 1 and a husband! I have been really diligent on having a chore chart and having my children and husband help out each day. It is a team effort right?! When we all work together to get the house clean it works. Then reality sets in and we get sick or we have activities that keep us from our schedule. I found this great article about how to get started at a Christian Home.
Meals are hard to organize.
My husband and I really like fast food or any restaurant food in general. It is our downfall! So if we do not have a menu of what we are going to eat ahead of time then we are in trouble! Last fall my neighbor mentioned on facebook that she has been loving emealz! I decided to check it out. With Emealz they send you a list of recipes that use products that are on sale. We have been subscribed for about 20 weeks now and we don’t follow the recipes exactly but it has really helped us become organized in our meals. This has been extremely helpful.
So how ever you spend today I hope that you are getting organized in some way!
To you,
