Do any of us really have it all together? I mean really. We may do okay in one area while failing miserably in another right? Yesterday, I offered my friend Karen's organization book as the prize. There were many comments about the need to be more organized. Well, sisters, let me assure you there is a good reason that Karen was called to write that great book and not me!
Today's post is just a silly Saturday post for us to share our own organization ideas. If you need help with how to organize a particular area of your home then send out an SOS to my posting friends who will surely comment with an answer. Or, if you are one of those really super duper organized gals, post your best tip and answers to the rest of us who have questions.
If you have a blog put your blog address in your comment, write something on your blog about organizing (the good or the bad) and we'll all come check you out.
Here are a few of my organizing issues:
* I seem to be emotionally allergic to grocery lists. Therefore, I stand in the grocery store pondering--- "do we have this item at home or not?" Well, sometimes I get it right. But many times I get it wrong and have a plethora of the same item. Currently, I have 5 containers of cream cheese in my fridge. I won't get that one wrong again this week! Anyone have a recipe that calls for LOTS of cream cheese?
* A Mail issue- (carefully notice the spelling there, I said mail not male--- although with two boys and one man cub in my home I've had male issues too!)
Anyhow, does mail just multiply during the Christmas season or what? I have set up system after system to keep mail from piling up on my one kitchen counter but I still have a pile!
Please post a helpful hint for your sister here before I have to go to Messies Anonymous and start by saying, "My name is Lysa and I am a list failure and mail piler!"
Now for the ONE COOL CHRISTMAS GIVE AWAY!
Yesterday's winner of Karen's prize is:
