Getting & Staying Organized Giveaway & WLWW Link-Up Party

 


When I first married, I spent a lot of time reading  books about organization. At the time, I could not imagine how busy and stressful life would become by my 30′s! So I really didn’t master organization very well BUT what I have found since then is many wonderful resources to help me get serious about conquering my organizational issues! Resources such as the Good Morning Girls Bible reading plans,  my schedules for cleaning, meals and school (which I very very very loosely follow), my chore pack system (which I used faithfully for 2+ years but this year the children are using chore charts instead) ,  and my exercise notebook (which is getting dusty – do we see a pattern here people? lol!).

My favorite organizational go-to guru now is Karen Ehman!!! I just love her blog and her spirit!

Today Karen has offered 2 copies of her book, The Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized to 2 Women Living Well readers! Woohoo!! Karen is a Proverbs 31 Ministries writer, author of 4 books on organization (plus an ebook) and speaker. Here’s what The Complete Guide to Getting & Staying Organized is all about!

The key to good organization is not a one–size–fits–all method. It is a unique plan that considers personality type, lifestyle, income level, and family schedule.

Karen believes that with her simple step by step process you can recognize your own personal style of managing your household successfully and develop a unique plan that gives you the freedom to:

  • manage your time wisely by prioritizing and then working smarter, not harder
  • de–clutter and organize your home (an entire chapter is devoted to teaching you an easy method for to de-junking!)
  • plan menus, shop more efficiently, and become both comfortable and creative in the kitchen
  • get children involved in pursuing an ordered life and home
  • avoid the trap of overcommitment
  • use practical tools to assist in organization

Getting and staying organized means more time for the important things in family life—concentrating on cultivating a close, personal relationship with the Creator, drawing His word into every aspect of living, and ultimately tying your children’s heartstrings to God.

Our Family Easter Pics & WLWW Link-Up Party!

Alexis still has a skid mark down her face from her wagon accident :(

With the start of the new series, I didn’t get a chance to post pictures from Easter. For those who read about me oversleeping last year, the good news is my alarm did go off this year! Lol! We had a little easter egg hunt and made resurrection rolls before heading off to church!

After church we went to my parents house for the rest of the day!  My mom always has beautiful baskets for the kids.

Dealing With Bad Attitudes Part 2 & WLWW Link-Up Party

Your response to yesterday’s post titled “Dealing With Bad Attitudes“, reminded me how universal many struggles are in motherhood.  You and I are walking the same road.

I am reminded that as hard as we try as mamas…the outcome is not guaranteed.  God was the perfect Father to Adam and Eve.  Adam and Eve had the perfect environment and yet – when tempted – they fell.  They chose to rebel :( .  And it wasn’t God’s parenting that was the problem – but rather the hearts of his children.

It is not possible for us to perfectly parent our children…and it’s dangerous to think that we can.  The danger lies in thinking that we don’t need God to touch our children’s hearts to help them obey His word.

We must remember to be moms who pray pray pray and obey obey obey.

This quote, from the book “Womanly Dominion”, says it all,

“I know that self-sacrificial, servant hearted mothering is no air-tight guarantee of the salvation of all of our offspring. But the path of obedience is the way to blessing. We have only to do as the servants were commanded at the marriage feast in Cana, to fill the water pots with water, and we may safely leave it to the Lord to turn that water into wine.”

My parenting struggles have led me to my knees more times than I could ever count.  It is comforting to remember that the God I pray to, is the one who turned water into wine.  He changes things!

So today, as we wrestle to raise our children in the admonition of the Lord, I encourage you to pray and obey God’s word and then trust God – allow him to do a miracle in your children’s hearts.
