Welcome to the Thoroughly Organized Thursday Meme!  I hope you are having a good week.  Well, I started this meme, not because I’m some major organizational guru, but quite the opposite, this is an area I REALLY struggle with.  I have found over the years that not only has the lack of organization cost me time, but it has cost me a lot of money.  I really hope to learn from others as well as being a blessing to you.  Something to remember as you are considering organization is, that no one does it exactly the same.  Just because it works for one person, does not mean it will work for you, so don’t feel like you are doing something wrong, if it doesn’t work, just set it aside an try something different.  Organization should save you time, energy, or money, and sometimes they will save in more than one category.  If it is causing you to stress out or is costing you time and energy, it’s not really helping you be more organized.

My tip for today:  Put it in a basket

Have you even noticed things just seem to look nicer in a basket???  Baskets don’t just have to be the wicker kind, plastic bins can work really well also.  I have quite a few smaller science books for Little One that just did not fit well on the book shelf.  I bought an inexpensive dish tub (in bright red no less!!!) from Walmart for less than $2.00 and piled the books in it.  It works perfectly.  No more books falling off the shelf and it is easy to look through.  The bright color also looks really good in the schoolroom.

I’m still working on my Home Management Binder.  Here are a few forms I made this week for it if they could be a use to you.

I hope you are having a wonderful week.  I was able to go out to dinner with my friend and get caught up with her.  I do have a prayer request for her though.  Her sister- in -law who is a young woman (about 40) has been fighting cancer for 3 years now and it and it seems like it is getting harder for her to fight it off.  This family has 4 children the oldest only 12.  Her youngest had to be born prematurely because of the cancer and has lived her whole life with her mommy very sick.  This family is a wonderful family and it just tears me up inside when I think of what they are going through.  You see I knew her brother very well (30 years) and he dated his wife from the time he was like in jr. high I think so I was just a little girl when they started going out and since I hung out at my friend's house a lot, I knew her too.  Could you please pray for this lovely woman and her family?

Thursday (starting late Wednesday night), I will be doing Thoroughly Organized Thursday and if you want to join in just put a post out on some organizing tip (for home or school)  and sign Mr. Linky when it is up.  If you can't think of a tip, please still feel free to come back and read my post!!!

Please leave me a comment to let me know you came by!
