14 Things That Scream “Your Home Need Organizing!!!”
02 February 2012 08:42:00
We’ve been talking about ways to get organized and following the 30 day challenge a lot lately and you guys are all doing great. I thought we could take a minute for a little fun, a little teasing among friends. No one is perfect, least of all me. Here are a few things you can do to NOT get organized. Have you tried any in the past? 1. Make excuses for the clutter by blaming the dog, kids, hubby. This usually works because most people believe that husbands are messy and need to be re-trained. 2. Avoid having any company over at all. People will start to resent you but you will never have to face the reality of your clutter mess. 3. Hide everything under bed. Better yet, keep hiding stuff under there until the bed raises up off the floor, then move on to the guest bedroom. Your work here is done. 4. Shove all your paperwork, the kids toys and the laundry that needs folding into the hall closet, just make sure everyone knows to open at their own risk. 5. You could become a minimalist but, really, there is nowhere to hide anything. 6. You could become a nudist but that is never a pretty site. And, just because you don’t wear clothes doesn’t mean that you are organized. Naked, yes. Organized, no. 7. Throw all your bath supplies and extra towels on one shelf in the linen closet. 8. Shop at Sam’s Club like you have an extra room to store the stuff. You don’t and you are just delusional by even having a membership there. 9. In regards to your pantry, make sure to leave all the empty boxes, bags and containers on the shelf, like you have space to spare. 10. Let all the empty milk cartons and casserole dishes accumulate in the back of the fridge. It’s as good a place as any to store them, right?! 11. Be sure to have so many hiding spaces for clutter that you have no idea where you haven’t hidden anything. 12. Make sure you always buy duplicates because you can’t find the 1st one. Ever. No matter how hard you look. And, who doesn’t need 6 pairs of kitchen shears. 13. Use the stove for storage solution and then forget to take out the loaf of bread and the cinnamon rolls before pre-heating it. 14. Likewise for the microwave, be sure to forget that bag of chips was in there and accidentally turn on the microwave. Hello, flaming chips! No one is perfect but this list should remind you that even the smallest amount of effort will insure that you, too, can do it.

Sometimes it is easier to start on a little project and then work your way around the room to get to the monster project. Or, maybe slowly work on bits and pieces of that monster project over time, breaking everything down into more manageable chunks. Manageable chunks are good. Overwhelmed homeowners are not. The easiest way to do this is to take a small job and plan it to perfection. And, then actual implement it. Here are a few examples. 1. Spice cabinet or drawer: First of all, spices do not last that long, less than a year. If you can’t remember when you actually bought it or the last time you used it, toss it. Another test is the smell. If you can’t smell it, toss it. Clean out the drawer, especially the spilled vanilla. Try and group like spices together. Sweet ones, ones you use more frequently than others. Alphabetize it, if you want. Aaah! Doesn’t that feel better. Baby steps. You spent all of 10 minutes getting that drawer or cupboard to shine. Good job. 2. Another easy project should be your craft area. Obviously, this will be fun for you but separate out each “type” of craft paraphernalia and group together. All the pens in one spot, the markers in another and the scissors last. You could even get everything out that you need for your next project. In fact, if your project is scrapbooking, you need to get to work. The less time you wait to crop the better, Those stacks of pictures are only adding to your clutter and disorganization. 3. Those dog gone computer cords are always tangled and exposed to little hands. Head over to your favorite organizational store and get the right gear to tie up all those loose ends. You can separate cords behind the desk as well as label them for easy identification later on. You can also run a protective cover up or down the wall. You can even paint it to match your wall color, now that’s impressive. 4. Another great place to start small on your organizational journey is to pack up your child’s out of season clothes. Going through the drawers can bring back a lot of memories but take this opportunity to learn something about yourself. How fast can you sort, purge and pack? How fast can you get the next tub of saved clothes and sort for the wash and the new drawer space? Actually, pulling out all the items that our older children wore is always fun. You can pack away what is too small or out of season, or you can donate it to a friend or a shelter. They always appreciate the extra effort.

How to Ground the Helicopter Mom
27 January 2012 10:44:00
Do you know what a helicopter mom is? I bet you've meet one or two. They are the moms that hover over their child all of the time and swoop in to fight their battles before the child even has a chance to open his or her mouth. You've seen her. She is the one that is up in the coaches face when he sits her child on the bench or the one that rushes to the school ready to attack because she has the slightest whiff that something unfair may be happening to her child. Well to all helicopter moms out there that rush in to fight all of their child's battles, I say to you the following: "Mom's, stop fighting all of your kid's battles - It's going to turn them into whiny, weak adults"!! As a mom, it's perfectly natural to want to advocate for and protect your child, after all that is your job, right? But how far is too far? I have 3 children and I myself have been to the school on occasions to be sure that things are straightened out and on the right course but knowing when to step up and when to step back is quite like balancing on a tight rope. It takes practice, skill and lots of trust. When the helicopter mom swoops in, she honestly thinks that she is helping but most of the time her actions are detrimental to the child and also embarrassing. Each time you completely fight a battle for your child or totally remove them from sticky situations, is a time that they are missing out on learning a valuable life lesson. Of course there are some battles that children just shouldn't and absolutely can't fight alone. It is a mom's job to determine when those times arise. I will be the 1st mom to admit that it's very tough to watch your child stumble and fall through life. Keep in mind that it is much harder to see an adult who acts like a child who just can't adjust to the many challenges that life throws at them because they were always coddled. Here are a few steps you can take to raise strong children: Set a good example - Children will copy you when you do good or bad. If you want your child to be strong and assertive, be sure that you stand up for your beliefs and views as well. Let your child see your confidence shine and they soon will begin to emulate that behavior. Don't Sugar Coat -Always be honest with your child about the complex issues they may face. Be sure to break things down to your child's level so that they understand the hard issues. Talk openly to your child about the possible battles they may face. When it comes to the issue of peer pressure, help them to come up with ways to combat it. Use real life examples and role play in order to get the point across. Positive Words and Praise - Be sure to let your child know that you value people who respectfully speak their mind. Praise your child when you see them exhibiting strong, respectful behavior. Using words of praise works well help to boost your child's confidence level. This issue of supplying our children with the tools that they need to be assertive and confident is important. The end result is that if you don't learn when and how to step back, your child will not be prepared for the bigger issues that he or she will face as they grow up. Aurelia Williams, life coach and owner of Parenting My Teen has organized a totally free coaching class where she will share strategies with you that will help you know when and how to step into or step back from the battles your kids face. It is totally free and is chock full of useful information that you can use immediately!

Arts and Crafts Idea: Foam Sheet Glasses Case
26 January 2012 06:24:00
Are you a camp director, teacher, or homeschool mom looking for a new arts and crafts idea for your kids? Or maybe you are a recreation director at a senior center or nursing home and could use a new project. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting and fun for all. This glass case can be used, given as a gift, or converted into a necklace purse. To make the glasses case, you will need the following simple materials: a square of craft foam, plastic or large blunt needles, lanyard lace or thick yarn. Cut two rectangles from the foam, each 3-1/2 inches (9 cm.) by 6 inches (15 cm.). With a hole punch, make holes on three sides of each rectangle, leaving one short side unpunched. Make the holes 1/2 inch apart and allow at least 1/4 inch between the hole and the edge of the craft foam. The holes need to line up so that the two pieces can be laced together. If you are preparing the craft for small children, you should make the holes yourself. Otherwise, the crafters can do this step if you have enough pairs of hole punches. At this point the crafters can cut decorative shapes from other colors of craft foam, or you can buy sets of ready-cut foam shapes. If you are doing the craft at a special event, like vacation Bible school, choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. For instance, if the Bible school or camp has a cowboy theme, find shapes that fit well, such as boots, cowboy hats, and stars. Let the kids choose the shapes they like and glue on as desired. You might also like to provide beads or sequins to glue on as well, especially if the crafters are a little older. The next step in this arts and crafts idea is to thread the plastic needle with the yarn or lanyard lace. Yarn might be a little easier to handle, but lanyard lace is shiny and attractive. In a pinch, some teachers of small children use a bobby pin as a needle. It is certainly a safe alternative. Simply loop the yarn through the opening and use the open end of the bobby pin as if it were the point of the needle. The children can now begin to lace the front and back of the glasses case together. To turn this arts and crafts idea into a necklace purse, simply attach a piece of lanyard lace to each corner making a long handle. Kids will enjoy using this case as a place to store secret notes and small objects. If they'd rather, they can give the glasses case to a parent, grandparent, or friend who wears glasses. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting for all.
