Growing skills in parenting and organizing.
There is nothing like walking into your family home with trays of Christmas cookies lined up waiting for the celebration. I can smell the delicious sugary scent.
In our family everyone has their specialty and we all bring different types of cookies to create a delicious dessert table. We nibble the cookies while opening gifts and definitely go back for multiple tastings. And the kids go crazy for the most colorful confections.

Do you have the dream of the kids running down Christmas morning and their eyes just round with amazement because of all the presents that Santa brought?
The first year I purchased all their gifts online I didn’t take into consideration the size of the gifts. I spent the day before Christmas trying to get things organized. It was then that I realized that even though I had spent what we had budgeted for Christmas, all our gifts for our 5-year-old twin boys were small.

I’ll admit that I had never thought that I needed to baby proof our windows when we had our kids. If you are like me, we didn’t start baby proofing until our kids started rolling and pulling up on things. Then all of a sudden it became urgent to make everything baby-friendly.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived in chaos.
My dining room table is a war zone of school papers I need to look through, junk mail and fast food condiments. My nightstand is a disaster area, with me battling every night to find a clear surface to wedge my water glass into. The living room looks like a toy factory had a G.I. bug. The kitchen always needs to be cleaned from the last meal before I can prepare the current meal.
What I didn’t know was that I was that I was actually living in C.H.A.O.S.: Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome. How did this happen? I try so hard every day to at least make a dent in this clutter and go to bed every night feeling like a failure. I go over to friends’ homes and they say “Excuse the mess!” as they gesture towards an unfolded blanket on the sofa and a book on the floor. Why do I struggle so hard to accomplish what everyone else seems to do so naturally?

Luckily, this resilient flooring option can bounce back from most wear and tear, if you know how to take care of them properly. Here’s how to keep your hardwood floors looking like new:
Let’s talk about Christmas storage. Anyone else get nervous when opening the Christmas decoration boxes?
Oh please, don’t let anything be broken and I hope the lights still work! Then the frustration of untangling the lights and regret of not taking the time to properly store the holiday decor.
I am determined this year to be prepared when putting away the decorations. I have been researching some easy ways to keep everything organized. Staying in budget is important to us, so cheap is also what I am looking at.
A cluttered house makes for a cluttered mind. At least that’s the consensus. The truth is, if you want to start to declutter your home, motivation to do so is necessary.
While most people tend to have a little clutter somewhere in their homes, there are those that have rooms stuffed to the brim with things they think they might use someday, things they never use or stuff they are hesitant to discard. This leaves whole areas of their houses unusable for what they are intended for.
Clutter on any level can be extremely overwhelming, causing stress. While you may think this would be enough to get anyone motivated to start getting rid of the clutter, the truth is, many people don’t know how to get started, and end up discouraged.
