Daily Routine

Today I thought I'd share the daily task list I work from to keep my daily routine in place.
This list includes what I do in the mornings, after work time and before bed.

I do much of this electronically now, on my iCal, but now and then a printed page is good, and if nothing else it provides a visual of my routine.

I have created this document with 7 different coloured pages because that's just so much nicer than only one colour.  Enjoy!

Free Shopping List

Today is Saturday.  I have had a few busy days and have not had a chance to get to this little blog of mine here, but I am back today.

I try to get my weekly menu written into my computer calendar on Friday's so that on Saturday morning I can pretty near leap out of bed and hit the stores somewhere between 8:00am - 9:00am.  The strategy here is twofold, first I beat much of the crowds by getting an early start, and second I am usually done all my shopping before noon, which leaves the rest of the day to get onto other things!

I give myself that buffer of somewhere between 8:00am - 9:00 am because Saturday mornings are really my only day per week to sleep in.  So if I move a little slower on a given Saturday, I don't get upset with myself.

I create a shopping list that has my pretty blue and brown floral background from the blog.  You are free to print this out and use it.

One of the key parts of being organized is our systems and routines.  Saturday morning shopping is an important part of my weekly routine, and while I own a smartphone and a computer, I must say that I'm an old fashioned girl when it comes to shopping...nothing replaces the simple paper shopping list.

Happy Shopping!

Busy Day

Good Morning all my friends in the blog world.

Just a quick note to say I took yesterday off completely, and today I am so busy caring for some things with the family.... this little blog of mine will have to wait.   I hope to have a nice post for you later today.  I really enjoy blogging, and I will be back soon.  I am sure you can understand, I must put my family first.

Thanks for checking in, and I'll be in touch later!

The Stocking Solution

If my blog entries seem a bit sporadic this week, they just might be.  We are home on vacation this week and using the time to either relax or work on things around the house that sometimes wait because the pace of life is so busy.

I found a simple solution to the stocking problem we ladies have in our drawers.
Have you ever had the jumble of stockings (pantyhose) in your drawer?  They are a terrible thing to arrange.

The common, ordinary zip-loc bag to the rescue!  It's as low cost as you can get, and simple to use.
Here is my drawer with the stocking sorted into bags.  Look how easy it is to see how many pairs you have and locate the pair you want.

Here is a close up of a pair in the zip-loc bag.

Steps to an organized sock drawer:

1. Empty the contents of the drawer

2. Add shelf paper if you plan to.  ( I will be doing this at a later date) 

3. Get rid of all socks that are mis matched, worn out, or no longer in use.  Get rid of all stocking that have any snags or damage.

4. If you have a little sock organizer like I do, put the socks back into there and line up the rest so they are easy to find.

5. Bag the stockings that are no longer in their original package and line them up.

You are done.  Enjoy!
