There are so many thoughts and posts in my heart right now. But I’ve committed to taking care of my own home before writing about housekeeping. You understand, right? Family before Internet!
So today, I simply want to share a gem of wisdom I first read in a book a few years ago:
Take a minute to ponder that sentence and let the message sink in a bit.
“The bitterness of living in a mess remains long after the sweetness of resting is forgotten.” Sandra Felton, The Messies Manual
Even if we don’t have all day to clean, most of us can still give our homes a few minutes, can’t we? We know all too well the bitterness of a mess. Let’s leave that bitterness behind and instead seek the reward of an organized home!

What’s one thing you’re going to do to take care of your home today?
I just found your blog via FB. Today my husband helped me move my sewing room into an empty bedroom. Well , it was empty after we took 2 bags of trash out! Then he moved a table back in and I have a dining room again. We are separated and struggling, debating whether or not to divorce. A story for another day. I blog about trying to recover from being a slob. So your organizing tips are very useful to me. Thank you.
