How Will You Organize in 2011?

So long 2010!  2011 is here and in full swing!  Lets start it out right by decluttering and organizing our homes, our lives, and our minds. Our January meeting was all about just that, organizing and the domino effect it can have on our lives. Some key points were:

5 Reasons To Get Organized

1. Improved relationships
2. Better health both physically and mentally
3. More free time (and who wouldn't want more of that?!)
4. More space in your home
5. More $ (again..who wouldn't want more of that?!)

Some Organization Tips

1.  Everything should have a home
2. One way to get rid of but still "appreciate" kids' artwork, send some to relatives far away
3. When beginning a decluttering, or organizing project start with the most challenging project first.  Once that one is done you know you can do anything! 
4. A good way to keep toys in check and teach children to give to others is, when one toy comes into the house, one toy (of their choice) goes out.

Sharon delivering an inspirational message 

Sharon Bankead, one of our mentor moms read an inspirational passage about all the different jobs, us as wives, mothers, and women, do for our families every day. When you have a chance take a look at Proverbs 31:10-31

And last but not least, we said our goodbyes to Kelly Moore.  She headed up the Creative Activities with Jenny Armstrong.  She will be moving to San Antonio with her family next month.  We wish her the best of luck!
