My thoughts:  

12 Steps to Becoming a More Organized Woman, by Lane P. Jordan, was excellent.  I do not know about you, but I could certainly improve my organization skills.

There are lots of subjects covered in this book, like health, studying the Bible, and how to manage the details.  I know that I could spend many times reading this book and still not glean all the useful information available.

One of the best parts of this book was the “Bringing home Step…” (put in one of the twelve steps).  I enjoyed the questions and ways to apply it in my own life.  I am looking forward to putting my plans into action.

This is a book all women should read and then implement into their own lives.  I highly recommend it!

Organizing School Papers

We are now halfway through the school year!  Are your children’s school papers stacking up in their rooms, living room, and mudrooms?  There is a solution to all of those papers.

Designate A Space- Find a place for temporary storage (I would say 6 months).  You can use fancy cardboard boxes, plain cardboard boxes, fabric bins, wire bins, plastic totes…the possibilities are endless.  You also need to decide where you want to keep them: closet, desk, children’s bedroom, etc..

Label Their Work- When your children are done with their work or they bring it home, make sure they write their names and dates on the back.  If they are too young, then you will need to do it for them.

Go Through the Papers- You will need to decide when you will go through the papers, whether it is every six or twelve month or even sooner.  I would have the children go through the papers with you, because they are the ones who will have it when they grown.  You can keep your favorites though!

And remember to have fun when you are organizing.
