Homestead Haven Beginnings

An organized garage?!?!?!

On my TO DO list for the summer is my garage.  Emilie Barnes (one of my favorite authors) has a fantastic system.  In a nutshell she separates all items into boxes...christmas, electronics, clothing...then she lables the boxes 1,2,3,4,5 etc.  For things such as clothes and tax paperwork, where you will have more than one box, you would lable them 5A,5B, 5C etc.  Then you get a file box and cards.  You will then take 1 card per box, and write the number on it, then below the number you will list the items inside that box.  Then you put the card in the file box. 

Sample:  I need to find my Girls clothes 3T-4T, so I go get my file box, and shuffle through the cards until I come across (5B), which lists: Girls clothes and shoes 3T-4T.  (5A) contains girl's 2T clothes and (5C) contains girl's 5T clothes.  Now I ask my DH to please go get box (5B) from the garage, because it has my girls 3T-4T clothes!

It sounds harder than it is, but it really is wonderful!  If you want it explained better, Emilie Barnes has tons of books all about organization:  The 15-minute organizer; The 15-minute meal planner;More Hours in My Day; Simply Organized and Survival for a Busy Woman just to name a few.  She is an awsome woman of God, and has been a huge blessing to our household.

Her web address is in my links on the left side of my blog.

This is about the music on the site. If you go back to my site and click on the web music icon that will take you to the site. There is also a christian webiste I believe it is Johns music. If you want to check that one out. All you have to do is copy the code and paste it on your edit temple page. That is what I did. I had to fool around with it till It was where I wanted it. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy!

To be honest with you I started getting pop ups when I down loaded the music. So I do not think you would like the one I put up. I did like Johns but they didn't have classical. You can always request music!!
