OK, I'm determined to get on top of my role of wife and mother this year.  It's been evolving throughout 2005, and I'm pleased with my progress so far - BUT - I've got a way to go!

I was led to a GREAT site about keeping a home planner.  It's at http://genuineprofit.lifewithchrist.org/ with pictures, ideas & even an e-book for purchase!  Candy has done a fantastic job - you should check it out!

One thing that has been bugging be was the BLAH black binder I was using.  The first step Candy mentions is making your binder pretty - voila!!

Now I LOVE to look at it and the words I chose inspire me to keep going!

Now the first part of my planner is my calendar, to do list and the pages I got from http://www.motivatedmoms.com/ - another site that has changed my homemaking!!  I love, love, LOVE the e-book schedule I got from Deann's site.  (I got the regular version with Bible reading schedule, not the custom)  It is keeping my house so much cleaner by helping me to remember those need-to-be-done-regularly but easy-to-forget-until-it's-gross chores (ceiling fans, furnace filters, etc).

Anyway, I wanted to share these two sites with you since I KNOW others will be making changes for 2006.

I want to wish you ALL a VERY HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!  Or as Bear loved to shout last year at this time,

HAPPY NEW YOU!!

Peace to you!

Katie
