It’s a disease that affects thousands – even millions – and someone you know suffers from it. It affects people of all ages and walks of life. Men, women, and children are affected, and it can range from moderate to severe in its intensity. It’s called
disease… It’s the mindset that procrastinators deal with on a regular basis. Or rather, DON’T deal with… It gets people off-track, off-kilter, and off-their-rocker. I know I struggle with it. Do you?

I lost the original post this week due to “technical difficulties” which are now resolved – and wanted to repost it for Works for Me Wednesday, hosted by We are THAT Family…
This week’s WFMW edition is to share OUR GREATEST TIP. And honestly, being Queen Martha’s daughter, I’ve had access to a TON of great tips throughout my life. But for me as a stay at home mom – the greatest tip I have to offer is

Since I began my Stay At Home Mom (SAHM) journey over a year ago, actually BECOMING Keeper at Home has been quite challenging for me.
First, I had to undergo a personal transformation that allowed me to understand more fully the value, the responsibility, the role that “Keeper at Home” entails. Having worked after the births of both of my girls, I was just a “working mommy” and learned to find satisfaction in what was necessary for us at the time.

I can SOOOO relate to this post at Moms The Word today!
I won’t admit how many times I’ve discovered a load of laundry in my washer – 2 or even 3 days after it’s been washed. UGH! It’s easy to forget that I started the load – my washer & dryer are in our dungeon basement, and I only go there to DO laundry. I need to find a way to post a reminder somewhere around my house so I can avoid that yukky sour smell!!! Continue reading »
So are you an expert Notebooker? Are you new to the idea? Are you still trying to figure out why anybody would take the time to put a “Home Keeper Notebook” together? Just like any other organizational system, a Home Notebook is great for some and useless for others (although I tend to lean more for the “great” for just about anybody).
The Flexibility of your system is entirely up to you. If you prefer everything preformatted and coordinated, a Mom Agenda or The Fly Lady Control Journal would probably work nicely for you. If you are spontaneous (like me) and like to keep things fresh, putting together your own Home Notebook can be fun (or challenging) and creative. And with the TONS of forms & templates available online already, if you don’t have time to create your own, a little research can set you up nicely!

Here is a scrumptious banana bread recipe that I have to share with you. I only made half the recipe (2 loaves), and I will play with the ingredients a bit to reduce both the fat and the sugar, and when I create something successfully, I’ll post that version, too.
This sounds like a terrific Friendship Bread starter, so I’ve got a batch “brewing” and found some yummy recipes to play with at allrecipes.com, too. I’ll make the bread with my first batch, and then move into muffins, cakes, etc. Continue reading »
I decided to go ahead and begin to list the Basic forms I’m using daily, and how I’m setting things up in my Home Management Notebook System. Later I’ll post pictures and explain how I finally got it all set up.
Food & Menu (Green – as in green, leafy vegetables which are good for you).
Schedules/Cleaning (clear/white – an overabundance of clear protector sheets).
Blogging (Blue – coordinate the “Bl…” theme – and it’s my favorite color and my favorite hobby – you get the idea…)
