Tichel organization

I’m here, folks, just slow on the posting. But here is a project I did recently that I though some of you might appreciate! Tichels are headscarves or hairwraps. I have been collecting for a while, but mine seriously needed some organization. I used a box, a drawer, and then this scarf hanger, but…it wasn’t …

Getting back on track. Again.

I’ve written this post in my head several times, but here goes… Things have been quiet here lately because I haven’t really been feeling too organized.

I tend to post about things that are going well. Lest you imagine that things are always perfectly in their color coded, labeled boxes around here… Thanks, kiddos, for the pile. I do a lot of pile pick-up these days since …

Routines: the basics

Knowing what comes next is comforting. It’s recommended to set up a routine with kids from when they are tiny, and even for adults with dementia or other neurological issues. So there is something nice about a routine. Some people object to the word routine, so you can call it what you want: schedule, plan, …

Reader question: How do you stop playing “catch up?”

Shuli wrote: I B”H have a pretty streamlined daily schedule to stay on top of housework etc etc, and it works very well for me. However if something comes up to disrupt the schedule even just one time or it’s just a crazy day, I find myself paying for it the entire week trying to …

Boundaries on time

I’m “just” home with the kids all day. “Just.” You may remember that I have 4 small kids, B”H, and they are all homeschooled. So that “just” encompasses a LOT of things. But I also need time to do things, like cooking, reading, and exercising. And being on call all the time is exhausting! I’ve …

A peek into the bathroom (kids)

Kids are bathrooms can be a scary combination! And my kids like science experiments–boy, have I found some doozies there! Things there are prone to being used in very creative (and messy) ways, so we have minimized the contents in the bathroom down to the necessities. That means a stool, kid’s seat, baby bath, shampoo/body …

What’s your housekeeping barometer?

Flylady has her kitchen sink. A slob comes clean has her bed. And I have my entryway. Well, HAD, since we’re leaving this house for a (temporary) work move. I don’t know what will be in whatever new house we will live in yet. But every person has her tipping point, her barometer. A barometer …
