13 children

13 children

My grandma had 13 children. 13! This was way before indoor plumbing, dishwashers, washing machines, etc. It just baffles my mind how she got so much done and she didn’t have an organizing app or time management tools! She passed away in her mid 70’s and I was thinking about all the changes she saw […]

Two things make all the difference

Two things make all the difference

It all started on Friday, April 17, 2014. I had driven from Sioux Falls, SD to Orange City, IA to visit mom and take her out for coffee and a drive around town. I almost didn’t come. I had so many tings to do that I felts I felt were important. Of course, they were […]

It may be time to reactivate

2 doors

2 doors

When I walk down the hallway to my mom’s cottage in her nursing home I have 2 choices. I can go right to the Pheasant Run cottage and see my Aunt Joy. Or, I can go left to the Grandview Cottage and see my mom. Both are great choices. I love both women very much. […]

One would think I would talk about being thankful today

After all, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the US. And, I am very thankful. In fact, every night for years I write down at least 3 things I’m grateful for from the day. I hope you are extremely thankful, too. But, I figured you received enough ‘Thanksgiving’ newsletters this week. I want to talk […]

DIdn’t expect this

I didn’t expect to be writing this article today. In the middle of the night my precious 92-year-old mom fell in the nursing home. She is now in the hospital and will get therapy and we will see what happens. She is so amazing. Her spirit is still one of joy and peace. Oh, to […]

Organization Tip of the Day

Sit down with the children and take out all the board games and card games that you own. Find out which ones the children like to play, which ones have all the pieces, and get rid of the rest. If necessary tape up the boxes or put all the game boards in a bin and […]

Organization Tip of the Day

Use baskets and bins for the different types of toys. One for Barbies, Barbies’ clothes, hot wheel cars, legos, and be sure and label the bins. If your child is young, print graphics off the computer and tape to the bin. Use the one-in-one-out rule with your children’s toys. For example, when they have a […]
