Bless your heart

These are the 3 best words ever invented. These words will save you in any situation.

1. You are really pissed at someone - "bless your heart", replaces the profanity that you really want to yell.

2. Someone is really stupid - "bless your heart", saves you from calling the person out, and instead makes you sweet and likable!

Through the incessant meetings and encounters with all types of people, these 3 little words have been a life saver. I don't even have to say them, I just think them and then walk away.

I heart Organizing my life

I think that this is a genius idea! So basically when I am feeling like everything is crazy and I have no control of things, I organize or clean. This weekend, my project has been creating a home management binder that is stored in a "junk drawer" which is not really "junk". I have now got a place with all of my important info about home maintenance and family on-goings, to keep me organized. My "junk drawer" is prepped with pens and a calculator, stamps, and checks, so that I can easily pay bills. Even if I never use all the tabs, I am happy knowing that they are there.








Project #2 - I decided that it was time to go through my closet and let go of some clothes. I also decided it was time to go through the bathroom closet and keep what is necessary. I could not believe how many medicines were expired or just empty. Well no longer friends, I have no put order back into the closet :)

Project #3 - I took all of our manuals, certificates, and warranties and filed them into a giant binder. I was so tired of seeing these all around the house in drawers and cabinets. Ugh, it was super gross.

It was all thanks to this amazing website: http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2011/03/march-challenge-project-household_9757.html

Definitely a keeper!!!

New Day, New Blog

Good Morning Bloggers,

I decided that as I begin a new school year with a lot of NEW in every aspect, I need an outlet. My hubby is gone from Monday to Friday, and it is just me and the cats. I work full time and have taken on more work this year with a student teacher and being team leader. I think that it has been more work than expected but very fulfilling on good days.

I pretty much work 11 hour days and then come home to be "homemaker" keeping the house up to par. It is no easy job. I am finding that reading is my "go to" stress reliever. I also thank God for Pinterest and Blogging which really help to keep me entertained. More to come soon...
