Hey y'all (yes apparently I talk like this now),
As I said in my last post, I'm trying to stay focused on the prize (aka husband homecoming) by keeping busy. One plan that I have is to totally organize my life in 30 days and of course, I wanted to tell y'all (again) how I'm doing it.
So, I made this list of things that I wanted to organize throughout 30 days (figuring in some catch-up/free days). I figured I would need close to 30-60 mins to work on each of these, some maybe less, and that I would plan to do it during nap time each day. Here's the list.
1. Master closet
2. Sewing area
3. Junk drawer
4. Car
5. Refrigerator
6. Isla's closet
7. Cole's closet
8. Office
9. Office closet
10. Office closet (yes, this needs two days)
11. Playroom toys
12. Kids' books
13. Master bathroom cabinet
14. Kids' bathroom cabinet
15. Emergency binder
16. Recipe binder
17. Family command center
18. Garage
19. Kitchen bar
20. Pantry
21. Kids' dishes/tupperware drawer
22. Craft stuff
23. Attic
24. Linen closets
25. Budget/Financial paperwork
26. Cole's clothes
27. Isla's clothes
28. Hubs and my clothes
29. Catch-up day
30. Catch-up day
I figured I wouldn't do them in order but instead just pick something off the list to work on each day. Today I did my sewing area since it seemed easy enough and I had a few other things to do today. I'm hoping that this will help get me re-organized and stay organized through the new year! Make yourself a list and let me know how it goes for you! :)

Has it REALLY been so long?
I am so incredibly sad that I really have not written since September. I originally started this blog over a year ago because I love to write and to see I have been too busy to do it is sad! However, I have decided that with the new year (Yay 2014!) I really want to make a point to do more writing. So here goes!
This very long year deployment is almost up. We are looking forward to Joseph's homecoming and it's getting so close I cannot even stand it. I knew the holidays would make the end of November and December fly by but now that January is here, I feel like it is going to drag on. Therefore, I've decided to keep myself as busy as possible until he gets here.
A friend and I are trying to start up a group here that collects and distributes items and food to the homeless. Our hope is that we can get private organization status and operate through the base but we shall see. We are just putting our faith in God and letting him lay the cards as he sees fit. We are very excited though and have our first feed planned for this month.
I've also decided to do an organization challenge this month. Each day I will focus on organizing one thing in my house. Should be lots of work but in the end it will all be worth it. I'll share the list, when I get around to making it :)
As for the year, I've made some "goals"
1. Get closer to God
2. Spend more time with my children and less time with my cellphone
3. Try to stay organized so that I don't have to constantly reorganize everything
4. Eat healthier, workout more
5. Look for and find a job I like.
6. Hopefully buy a house this year!
7. Become financially sound.
8. And visit here a lot more often
There it is, folks! Let's see how I do :)
