Before……

 

 

 

I know it looks like I just shook out the grocery bags and threw everything in there. Ok So that is really pretty much what I did.

 

And then. There was Costco.  

 

And can storage and my first "plastic ware" stuff.

Some of this….

 

Mixed with this (Red contact paper sticky side out Masking taped to the wall)

    Usually at our house we are looking for ways to get messy. I found a cool website that helps mix things up around here without the true mess of everything.

 You get this….

 

It was extreamly fun times.

The site I found this one at is www.familyfun.com 


Starting with some pantry makeover!

February 22, 2008 – 11:53 am

    My pantry make over is inspired by a fellow warrior. She has some intensly excellent skillz! Good Job!

I went to Sam’s and found those can organizers. I can barely wait to get all fourty cans in one compact and flowing organized spot. YEAH!

Then there are the containers that hold the cereal, and other things I have hanging out in my pantry. We’ll see if I can reduce some space in there. I would do Before and after pictures but I think I am just going to do some WORK.  (ok maybe pictures will follow)

Get it together Fitness

    I am not a "work out" person. This is how it goes down at my house.

Invite the gals over for two days a week walks at 6am. Yeah I know I am not so chatty as I am at 2am what a difference four hours makes:)

Any good strategies that make you stick to the working out?

 


Let’s Get it Together: Finances

July 11, 2007 – 8:40 am

    The hint I have is autobill pay to debit out all the bills so you don’t have late fees. Systems that have failed for me include:

Microsoft Money 2004

Quickbooks 2001

Basically any accounting money management program. Cause I have to maintain by looking at it on a consistant basis. Does anyone have a system they love? Have you had to be creative inventing one that you will stick to? How does budgeting really work? Is there such a thing as a budget, or is it like dieting you are good for awhile but then you have to get your seven doughnuts at Krispy Kreme?

    Does anyone have the "Fly Lady" for finances?

 


Get it TOGETHER.

May 26, 2007 – 9:53 am

    Ok I am starting a new category. Something kicky-blast exciting if I do say so myself. I call it GET it together.

I am back in school for the summer and I need to try to do the reading and studing thing different this time. So I am going to post things that are helping me currently. Then I have questions for you. Each GET it together post will have a different theme. I will be posting probably over the weekend the most cause school takes the free time I have lately.

    So here goes

1. Study in a well lit room.

2. Read with Highlighter in hand.

3. kneel to read so you don’t fall directly to sleep.

4. Use flashcards when ever possible.

5. Read with a notebook handy for random thoughts, ideas, concepts to tie in, and notes you want to remember.

6. Pause every paragraph or page to try to remember what was just read.

 

Question part….

1. If you belong to a good book club how did you find it, how did you create one?

2. What are the memory techniques that helped you the most in school?
