More Organization Tips: The Office, The Daily Home Blessing and Yummy Market Fresh Sandwiches...
Our homes should be a blessing to our family... and whether we
like it or not, we moms/wives/ladies can make it or break it!
We need to strive to create an environment that is welcoming,
peaceful and cozy for all who enter. A clean, well kept and
organized home will make these elements much more easy to
obtain. As the ladies of the house, when things are out of
order and chaotic, we too feel that and then in turn present
that through our actions, attitudes and behavior... "if mom's
happy, then everyone is happy," is too true a statement! In
"Sink Reflections", by Marla Cilley, she talks about having a
Home Blessing (another Buzz word). What this basically refers
to is our Mission Statement for our home as women, wives and
mothers... it our goal for what we want our home to be... what
we want it to reflect. I took this very seriously because I have
high expectations! One thing to remember in all this is that
even though we have routines and schedules, we must be
flexible... we are not drill sergeants, even though I have been
accused of that,
we are still mommy and need to teach and train with a tender
hand so our little helpers want to help and get excited about
the process as well. If you have children you fully understand
what I am talking about... I have had some really good plans
drawn up, but when the baby is puking up a storm from a sudden
flu bug... zone cleaning comes to a sudden halt... so be what
the Lord has us to be first... woman, wife and mommy! Enjoy
yourself in your organizational quests, otherwise it won't last
and it will be just another burden![Read More]
