We’ve all heard the saying “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But even Jack knew that there was a time for play, and that was after the work was done! When you are faced with a never ending to-do list, you can get overwhelmed and have little desire to get the […]

One of my favorite tips for getting organized is to take a little weekly planning retreat. By retreat, I don’t mean locking yourself away in a hotel room one night a week. I’m suggesting that you make an appointment with yourself for your weekly planning retreat. Put it on your calendar and announce it to […]
A couple of years ago, I wrote about the idea of taking a weekly planning retreat. I love the idea because by setting an appointment with yourself and making planning a priority, you are giving home and family management its due diligence. There is a lot of work to managing at home. It can be […]

Being stranded in your car during a winter storm is something we all hope never happens to us, but it is wise to be prepared. Make sure to have your car maintenance up to date such as the radiator system serviced, replace windshield wiper fluid with a winter time mixture, and make sure that you […]
When winter temperatures drop below freezing, staying warm and safe is vital. If you haven’t already, it is time to prepare for cold weather and and your family’s safety. It is a good idea to have a winter survival kit prepared before winter, but it is never too late. Depending on where you live, you […]
The busy-ness of the Christmas season often leads to putting normal household tasks on the back burner. Once Christmas is over, a quick look around and the house will likely show some signs of recent neglect. I always begin to feel a sense of urgency during this week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. To […]

We began this week of spring cleaning in the kitchen and dining room. Then, we moved on to living areas and office space and bedrooms and closets. An area of our home that may host a a good deal of cleaning may sorely be in need of some deep cleaning itself. Bathrooms and the laundry room require […]
