STAYING ORGANIZED
Staying organized is a constant process for sure. And your method is only as good as you make it. I have a bad habit of falling in love with methods that sound great, the only problem is they’re just not great for me. If I don’t use it, it don’t work right?!

On the tenth Day of Christmas my trueloves made for me, a gingerbread house! I spent Monday morning making the pieces and after nap time Phil and the girls had fun decorating.

Okay, so the title of this post is a little misleading. I do not pretend to be giving OTHERS lessons in homemaking (at least not for FREE!). This is a series of posts for me mostly and hopefully you won’t mind reading too. If not for just a laugh then maybe to get some of you to share what you have learned as a homemaker with me!
Homemaking seems to be a process of trial and error, changing and adapting and hopefully of growing as a mother and wife. It’s a vocation I take very seriously. As Martin Luther said, homemaking is a golden and noble work.
“A wife too should regard her duties in the same light, as she suckles the child, rocks and bathes it, and cares for it in other ways; and as she busies herself with other duties and renders help and obedience to her husband. These are truly golden and noble works.”
I’m continually looking for ways to better my “systems” to make things go smoother, to simplify and to eliminate as much chaos as I can in my day. So I thought I’d write down which methods I’m trying right now in order to remember them, review them and see what is working or what isn’t and maybe to find something new for whatever isn’t. I’ll start by looking at the fun part of my day, chores!

To find and worship the King of the Jews.”
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
