Week in Review

What a week! This week we found the owners of this girl who wandered onto our street. Her name was Karma. The posts from Tuesday are here and here.

We also spent a couple of days in the creek. My kids love messing around in the creek water.

This is what I love about the creek...I just have to remember not to drink a lot of tea before we go.

We also did a "photo shoot" for my new gypsy rag tote and I got it listed on Etsy. And while we were at it I retook a couple of pictures for my bug keeper.

Yesterday, I made a new treasury with spa/ bath and body things. Do you ever do a spa evening at home? This treasury has some great stuff for doing just that. Take a look at these great shops with spa stuff.

Well, that's my week in review. Of course I left out the boring stuff like laundry and dishes, but I'm sure you don't mind.

Have a great weekend!

Mom, Do I Have Any Clean Underwear?!

If this is a familiar question at your house, you are not alone. You would think if you are at home all the time being domestic and homeschooling your kids things would get done. But that is the challenge for a lot of us. Disorganization and a lack of schedule robs us of time.

When we are running around disorganized, we are stressed and then we get even less done. One thing that can help is to prioritize the things we need to do in a day. Write a list of what has to be done and put it in order of importance. It also helps to have a routine or schedule to get things done.

Routines and a good schedule are even more important if you are working at home too. To help unstress and get things done Flylady is the best site for getting yourself in order. It still takes work, but it is an amazing system for getting some peace in your life.

Armed with some good organization and coping skills you won't have to hear the dreaded "Honey, where are my clean work clothes" at 5:30 AM. (At least maybe not as often)
