Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I'm Tired of Keepin all these Freakin Cards...How bout' you?

So, I usually hate to throw away any greeting cards my husband gets me, because it's the closest thing to a love letter I'll ever get! He's not into words so much..(but he's all about the touch ;0) )

However, this year, I realized after looking at one before baby #2 arrived, it was time to stop the madness. Therefore, I've decided to go through all the cards, pick my 10 (yes, I have more than 10) favorite, and make scrapbook pages to include with our wedding photos. I think going forward, I will also include a picture with each page, so that we can see how we've changed over the years.

Love finding ways to cut down on my clutter! :)

Umm...it's still February!

At least it hasn't been another full month before a new post right? right? Come on, "cheer the progress"!

So I have new inspiration, some really amazing women that returned from the blissdom conference recently haven given me new hope in my ability to take off with this blogging thing. I think however, we might have to start an another one.

You're probably asking yourself, how can I possibly create another blog, when I have yet to consistently post on this one. You'll see naysayers! Seriously, I have some other topics that I want to write about but I don't want to give up on the "organizationtopia" plan either. So we will work on a couple of different ones. Look for links to the new blog soon!

Until then Happy Organizing!!

Okay...so it's February

Yes, it has been Jan. since my last post, but it's a new month, the past is the past, move on, blah blah, blah!

Resolutions. Does anyone make them anymore, let alone keep them? I've decided that I'm not about making resolutions but living each day like I have a brand new slate that is wiped clean the moment I wake up in the morning. This helps me elevate all the pressure and guilt of "I didn't get this done, I could've, should've would've done this and that". By no means, am I saying that it is not important to set and try and achieve goals, rather I'm saying that if "life" happens and you don't succeed, don't carry it over into the next day, week, month, year, etc. Learn from it and move on! Life is too short, and anyway it's really not even about us. (I leave that discussion for a later post!)

So, onto organization. I'm loving the motivated mom planner, but I don't use it as a planner. I use the sheets but they are posted up in my closet and I tear them off after I've completed the items on the list each day. I am however, in the market for the file/purse thing ( I know, I have a way with words!). It's divided into sections and has a calendar so I can make notes and set appts. and then use the pockets for projects/events/things that correspond with the calendar items. Sweet...I'll post a pic and tell you where I got it later this week
