The Holiday Season Will Be Here Before You Know It!

It’s already September. The holiday season will be here before you know it.

Last week I was walking in my subdivision and in the fields at the end of one of the streets I saw a flock of wild turkeys. I zoomed in the best I could with my cellphone. Those turkeys got me thinking about the upcoming holidays.

Back to School Help

August 20, 2015 / Janice

It’s that time of year again! The school buses are rolling again or will be soon.

So I did a little research to find you a lot of helpful back to school tips. Since I’ve been writing this blog (and the old Organize By The Month blog) for seven years now I figured a good place to start was with the old posts.

In Part 1 of this blog series I talked about those small but annoying disruptions to our daily routines. If you missed it you can read it here.

Now I’m going to talk about those medium disruptions that have a tendency to throw off your routines for a least a day or more. Although they are usually temporary you’ll probably have to adjust your routines until the disruption is over.
