Winter again
I wonder...did March and January get mixed up??? It is winter and this week was the first day of spring...oh well such is weather in Crawford Co. sometimes. I do know that God will send us warmer weather eventually...I can't wait for green grass, warm sunshine, fresh vegetables and garden time. Pretty flowers and picnics...oh I think I have spring fever.
But for now...my house awaits some cleaning and I need to be faithful in that as well. Anyone have tips on how to keep things organized and neat ? Seems I struggle big time with that...I can get some of it organized but then it goes downhill again. I guess that comes with having a family. Cleaning is not my most favorite thing in the world to do either and so I can let it slide too much.
Have a great day with Jesus.

I try to go through things that I have quite often and throw. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of plastic totes and containers. In our garage I have shelves with totes on them. Each tote has a number and then I have an envelope with 3X5 cards in which I write everything that's in the tote. For instance, I have a tote for extra shoes for the children to grow into, one for tax papers that we need to keep, one for extra phone cords, extension cords, and one for memorabilia, etc. Of course I am also called the container queen, so maybe I've gone a bit overboard. :) I also like plastic 3-drawer organizers that are by the totes and containers at Walmart, the multi-drawer thingees that you find in the nuts/bolts section and the flat "tackle boxes" that have dividers. I have hair supplies in one such "tackle box".
Organization is something that I enjoy, but it's always a work in progress. All of a sudden I will look in a drawer or closet and can't stand the clutter, so I'll think about how to organize it for quite awhile and then get a brainstorm idea. It's so fun to be able to find and reach everything and get rid of what I don't need.
Maybe I'll write a post about this sometime with pictures...
Happy organizing!

Welcome to the blogging world, JumpforJoy!
I too have suffered depression . . . It is NOT a fun time!!! Praying for you!
Yeah, Destination- Gloryland is a wonderful organizer! . . . My problem right now is that I don't have or think I don't have the space (how can that be?)to have umpteen plastic containers for everything to have it's place. I am waiting for my hubby to help put shelves in our office closet to help me organize things in there. I find I end up with little boxs or drawers of odds and ends that I never can find the time to put away properly and they add up and one feels so discouraged!
Anyway know the feeling . . .
