I was planning on writing a series of posts on organisation and I actually started with Organising Your Kitchen. But then I realise I was just attempting to re-invent the wheel!
Then I came across this website that is so cool! Check out I Am An Organizing Junkie. She’s got loads of advice and pictures and she has her readers posting their ideas and photos as well. So you really get a variety of ideas instead of just mine!
She also has a regular Menu Planning Monday thing going on that gives provides you with lots of recipe ideas. Granted they are mostly ang mo jia* but that’s enough to get you started on menu planning.
Then there’s always websites like Flylady or Get Organized Now to check out.
And if you had visited my Blog (Building An Ark In Singapore) this week, you would have found out that Homeschool eStore is giving a way a FREE ebook Organizing 101 this week only!
Being organised is the first step to helping you make your home a haven for your husband and children and all who step into your home. We are not talking about perfection here but let’s not live messily. I understand (oh don’t I!) that it is hard to maintain a neat home when you have many littles under your feet but it does not bring glory to God when we live in chaos either.
Regular picks ups (we do it twice a day here) and a simple rule of packing up before starting on the next game/toy/book is crucial. And really, de-cluttering is one of the most powerful tool to have. The less you have, the less to keep on top of! And the faster you can clean up.
Here’s to a more organised homelife!
* ang mo jia is hokkien (a Chinese dialect) for western style dishes. Eg fish and chips or tacos & chillis
