Organizing Life Simply

In this fast paced world in which we choose to live in, life is easily taken over by the daily mail, toys, dirty dishes, laundry, etc.  Choose to put people ahead of things such as laundry!  Here is a list of tips that have made our family happier when dealing with the stress of a hectic life.

  • Cook items that can provide several meals.  Use the recipe one night and store planovers in freezer for next week or incorporate food items into a remodeled recipe. I suggest have taco night and with plan over meat, freeze meat for taco soup.  Add unused chopped onion, refried beans, corn and other ingredients that would be great as taco soup ingredients to a freezer bag.  Label taco soup veggie.  Put plan over taco meat in a separate freezer bag and label taco soup meat.  Thaw in refrigerator and added needed ingredients for a perfect, quick meal.  Serve with tortilla chips and cheese.
  • Take 10-15 minutes each night to pick up the living room.  EVERYONE participates!  Use a laundry basket or other organizer, put in the middle of the room.   Everything that needs to go to another part of the house, put in the box.  Straighten the room!  Then empty the box putting each item in its place.  If all family members are helping, this 10-15 minutes is multiplied by the number of people working to organize.  Its a simple way to start a good habit!
