Getting Reorganized

So, I took a class to organize my scrapbook stuff last week and I am still going at it. I considered myself to be pretty organized, but have found that I have no time to keep it up. I am not sure if complete chaos hit when Quinn was born or if I slowly gathered so much stuff that I couldn't keep up. Since having Quinn we have moved into a new house and added Griffin. 2 years later and I still feel like I am moving in. It is so easy to sit around and rest after the boys go to sleep, but that prevents me from getting everything accomplished. From now on I am going to pick 2 nights a week to get my house back in order. I miss my Type A lifestyle. I realize I can't expect my kids to be the same way I am, but I certainly want them to see what being organized can do for you.

The things I learned in the scrap class I am now going to apply to my house. Sort, Purge, and Containerize.....(not really a word)

Meal Planning

My Meal Planning Stress is over...
I was reading my parents magazine and found a website for a meal planning book. I bought three different books last night. The lady that does this is out of Kansas...

Meal Planning

I like to cook...or I think I like to cook, but I am a picky eater. Finding meals that are easy and family friendly are very hard for me. I have always gone to the store with a plan in mind, but I rarely stick to it. Something always come up or I forgot to pull the chicken out of the freezer. Another obstacle for me, is finding recipes. I have a thousand cookbooks on my shelf, but finding the time to look through them is near impossible.

This is my goal for this year. TO start meal planning before I go to the store. Then I have a list of what to buy. It won't bother me if we stray from the plan, but I really want to make this work. Anyone with some great ideas about how to meal plan please share...
