Housing Update

I think this month in a new house has been enlightening for me. We've had a lot going on and I'm nowhere near where I thought I'd be with unpacking my house by now. There are still boxes in every room but the kitchen and bathroom. We've all been sick, Luke's been teething, Andrew's been working overtime, and I've been being lazy. This morning we've been working on unpacking some more. I can't wait until there are not boxes everywhere I look. I'm really feeling the lack of storage in this house. I'm having quite a hard time finding places for everything. I'm hoping to take some more time this afternoon to get more unpacked an in order. It's hard to believe we've already been here almost a month. I haven't gotten nearly enough done in that time frame. But I've also been encouraged by several blogs lately. I'm going to be following this series and hopefully it will help! Crystal Paine over at Money Saving Mom has given me lots of ideas on saving money and organizing. Hers is a blog I check daily. And now I'm off to decide whether to take a nap with Luke or unpack/clean some more...

Rebecca,
I think I'll have to try the 3 box thing - I actually picked up two books I had on hold at the library today - When Organizing isn't enough; SHED your stuff, change your life
and
Simplify Your life with the clutter cutter guide to freedom
I had a book checked out called "Time Management from the inside out" but you can guess that I renewed it 3 times and still didn't get it all read :o)
By the grace of God we'll make progress together.
Love
Aunt Deb

I've been reading Crystal's blog for quite some time. She's a sweetheart and a very wise young woman. Did you know that they used to (before they moved) attend a church with deaf people and so know ASL and Deaf culture? Just one more reason to like her. :-)
