A couple of years ago, I put together File Boxes as modified Workboxes. That really worked, but somehow, I stopped using them. The main reason was the work load to keep them loaded and to make sure everything made it back to their spots. Also, the Hanging File Folders kept falling apart. The first revamping […]
Organizational Week~Getting the Homeschool Ready
July 20, 2011 by 3 Comments
We all have them, days when we walk through the house and want to turn tail and run because there are messes everywhere. As we move through the house, we notice there is very little that can be done with these messes… What? Where did it all come from? Typically around here, it means we […]

As a mom of six children, streamlining our home has become a habit. I constantly look around and try to find ways to make everything flow smoother. Our house is laid out in a way that is choppy, as in lots of walls, cutting up the “flow” of the floorspace. I like wide open spaces, […]

Our children are really enjoying it too. This post will include pictures and a description of how our system works. Due to space constraints […]
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
