My plan was to write a post detailing how I organize my papers, bills, files, and records today, but in an attempt to limit my computer time I tried setting up some controls. While trying to set up the controls I managed to completely lock myself out of the computer. So, after spending two hours trying to remember my password, and another two hours on the mac forums learning all sorts of ...
Paper Clutter: Clean Home, Fresh Start
Paper clutter can be costly. Late payments, misplaced birthday invitations, missed cancellation notices can all happen when your home is full of paper clutter. This is one area where I really struggle. It seems that no matter how hard I try to stay on top of it, all it takes is a week of neglect and it is overwhelming again.

Give them a soapy wet rag and let them get to work. Don't forget to get the trouble spots: light switches, door knobs, and wall edges. For tough stains try the ...
A Cheerful Heart: Clean Home, Fresh Start
I realize that most people don't LOVE to clean. It is a chore, but something that must be done. I would encourage you to have a cheerful attitude while you clean and organize. If you complain and work with a bad attitude your children are more likely to complain and dislike their chores. If you are cheerful and make cleaning fun (or at least not dreadful) your children might be inclined to ...
