LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT THE BLOG

Can I be super honest with you for a few minutes of your time? Blogging has been tough for me this past year and a half. You want to know why? Let me tell you...

You see, I started out blogging in May 2010 - that's EIGHT YEARS ago - and I absolutely loved and found joy in it. To top it off, I made some money and it made blogging a little more exciting. My following grew and grew and grew...I couldn't believe it! 

Helping Kids Organize

Clutter on your computer (part 3) - Organizing Your Office

So, I'm assuming that everyone has a computer....and that must mean that you have lots of email, blogging, and files to keep up with!  Then there are pictures, scanning, and files upon files from how many years ago?

What's your filing system - (part 2) Organizing your office

Filing is just a part of having a home and being grown up.  It's not just something you do AT an office job. It's crucial to keep important paperwork for your home, cars, appliances, and more!  It's important to keep that stuff organized and easily accessible.  I absolutely HATE filing...hate it!  But, it's necessary and it's important.  I also know that when hubby says "I need last year's tax return, please go get it?" or "I need the manual for the vacuum so I can fix it" -- that I can now confidently say I can find those!

Clean up your desk - are you ready? (Part 1) Organizing Your Office

OK, so my first question to you is - do you have a desk?  I bet most of us do - or perhaps something you use as a make-shift desk!  If not, that may be one of the first things you need to tackle.  If you are running your home, you need to have somewhere as your office - it may not be an "office" but it needs to be somewhere you can set up your computer, pay bills, keep track of files, all your paperwork (that's important).  We bought our current desk on Ebay about four years ago when we moved into our home. I just updated it with some new knobs and handles and it's very stylish and functional! Plus, it holds lots of stuff!

This is a great closing desk that's also pretty!
