Getting There

How do all the organized people do it? I am not sure if I have ever had every room in my house cleaned and organized at the same time. I bet they live alone with not pets and they never cook! At least thats what I tell myself to feel better about myself. Can anybody relate?

The times in my life when I have been the most organized, which I can count on one hand in all my 48 years, have been when I had some good systems going. Like a cleaning routine that I stuck too, made ahead meals, a schedule written down. Trying to start a small home business can be a little tricky when you dont have those things in place. Working from home can be very distracting as well when you have so many distraction so thats where I am at right now. Trying to get some things made, figure out how to promote myself without being pushy or annoying and getting out of mom/wife mode and in to Mrs Ladybug mode.

It actually works with any thing one is wanting to do. If you want to exercise more you have to get that time into your schedule and work around it. If you want to save money you have to figure out your budget and work around it. If you want to make more time with people or blog...... you get the picture. Planning in your head and even on paper are all fine and good but nothing is going to get done until you just step out of your comfort zone and do it.

Your SOMEDAY is today!!!!!!!


I have done once a month cooking, make ahead meals, freezer meals, made my own mixes and everything imaginable to save time and money in the kitchen and they have all worked. But you tend to get ahead and then get lazy and use up all your stuff and then drag your feet to get it going again. Which is actually crazy and a little lazy. I am not pointing fingers and anyone except myself! This is one of my easy fast go to meals that I need to make several of and have in the freezer.

One pound of ground beef cooked, 1 can or 1 cup of corn drained, 1 can of beans drained and taco seasoning. mix all together and you can put them on tortillas, over nachos, add a can of tomatoes and mix with pasta and rice topped with cheese as a casserole. The possibilities are endless.
