Want your week to go more smoothly? Make a meal plan! Want to save money on groceries? Make a meal plan! Want to reduce waste? Make a meal plan! I’m beginning to think that “meal plan” is another four letter word. At the very least it’s really weird if you say it often enough… Here … [Read more…]
(I started this post last week and was too tired to finish it! Hence it starts off a bit in the past…) I am in a post Holy Week stupor. Last year at this time I was returning from our “trip from hell” to Key West. This year we were full blown involved in Holy … [Read more…]
It seems that the more I strive toward wanting to make things a bit simpler, easier, better to cope with, the more they just get complicated. I can write fairly inane posts about cleaning out my closet or wearing certain clothing, etc, but really that is just a few minor things. The rest of our lives … [Read more…]
Doesn’t that sound just so pessimistic? But really it’s not. Well, not completely. See, yesterday was “Black Friday”, so named because retailers generally get out of “the red” for the year as shoppers get busy fulfilling their Christmas wish-lists. Some of my friends went shopping Thanksgiving night (one of them was out until 3 am! … [Read more…]
I’m back! Or, at least I hope I am, lol. I have fallen into the “I’m too busy” trap for the past couple of months and I really don’t like it and, because it’s complicated, I’m breaking this one into 2 posts. Part 1 is part my personal “de-briefing” after finishing a semester of participation in … [Read more…]
It’ been quiet in these parts for good reason: I am completely overwhelmed. With everything. I keep thinking it’s going to quiet down. Things will settle and I will have time. But it doesn’t and I don’t. It’s insane. I made some commitments and then some commitments to help with my commitments and next thing … [Read more…]
I have been working on 2 posts for the past week. The first one about shoes and the second about clothing because the first morphed into the second and they deserve equal billing. But life happens and getting all the pictures and links and what not set up just right hasn’t quite gotten there yet. … [Read more…]
I love to read the bible but admittedly I don’t follow a “plan.” I’ve tried. Really I have. I’ve tried bible study guides, 1 year plans, following the daily readings given at church and reading through a book at a time as I see fit. Usually reading one book at a time works ok but … [Read more…]
Lately it seems that it takes a lot more effort to do simple things. First I must muster up courage, then conquer fear and anxiety and then commit to the time needed for a task. (Does this resonate with anyone?) And that was just to balance the check book! This happens EVERY TIME. And with … [Read more…]
I was reading this post that I found on Pinterest today. I have been following the Fly Lady for a couple of years although I haven’t followed closely, lol. I am pretty lazy and my decluttering is in fits and starts. It’s ok with me that the dust bunnies fly around for a while before anyone gets to … [Read more…]
