I'm all about being organized.
In fact, I've gotten paid to organize other people's stuff. It's always come naturally to me. Maybe it's just the practical attitude I carry about everything. Even though I've moved quite a few times in my life, there are always a few things that I cannot bring myself to part with.
I don't consider myself materialistic by any stretch,
but these things call to a simpler time, a time when people were focused on daily living. As I make my quest to create that kind of life for my family, I find myself looking at these treasures in a different light.
Simple, practical and useful.
Everything has its place...

I just love your tips on cooking and organizing...I menu planned this week which is totally unheard of for me! what a relief it has been not to have to make another decision amidst the chaos of my house! Cooking with wood adds a little tension because you do have to plan ahead...but you? again, bring me back to reality! Daisy? I soooo appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteLisa-I never used to plan meals either and I was miserable! Hated cooking! Now it's so easy to not only cook, but to shop for ingredients too. Thank you for your kindness, as always, Lisa!
