New Planner

I picked up a new planner the other day that was wire-bound like a notebook that you would take notes in for school. I really like it because each month has a different beach scene. I really like the beach and the sounds of the waves as they approach the shore. The lapping of the water is so relaxing and love watching sunsets as the sun dips below the horizon. The sky changes colors from golden yellow to a deep purple. I don't have times in this planner though I have plenty of space to make up my own daily schedule and flexibility to change it when necessary.

Jaedon is now into his 6-9 months clothing and most of his 3-6 are in boxes. I'll get the rest when laundry is done and put away. I can't believe he is 5 months old already. He will be almost a year old when I am finishing up my education in seminary. It has been quite the journey.

Continuing On After Finishing the Book

I finished the book this past week and have found I am more organized than I thought I was within the domains of my home. There are a couple of things I would like to get like a bigger planner that is closer to 8 1/2" x 11" and a calender that is erasable or bigger than the one we have now so I can write more things on it. Other than my weekly schedule I would also like to put together a daily schedule so I am able to manage my time more efficiently. Bins will have to wait for now.

Keeping on Top of Things

My son is not old enough to have acquired too many toys and I definitely need a separate bin for books. He loves to look at his books and have me or his dad read to him so I have to remove what toys he has to get to his books then put the toys back in their place, only to be removed again to put his books back when we are done reading. I need to put a new system in place so both his books and toys are easily accessible for the both of us.

Re-Organizing My Life

I have a weekly schedule of housework planned out; however, I also need a daily schedule planned out so I know what needs to be done with my time such as baths for me and Jaedon as well as when am I going to eat breakfast and lunch. I also need to get my daily house activity down on the daily schedule. I think this is where I need to get to an office supply store and see what they have as far as schedules and calendars that are able to be clean easily. I believe this is why I like school so much. A schedule is made up for me and I don't have to worry about it. I know when chapters need to be read and when papers are due. My life is organized for me and I follow the syllabus. Here I am organizing my own life and I don't know where to start; however, I am off to a good start. I have already done another tip in the book by breaking down my home into bits and pieces instead of looking at the whole picture and feeling over-whelmed by not knowing where to start. Slowly by bits and pieces I'm getting my domain underneath my rule as God had created me to do so in His plan for me. Also, I learned I need to get a larger planner with more options than the one I currently have right now.
